Fansite Interview Junket with Twilight Series Theories
This week we have another good bit of the audio, and it’s transcribed! Our own Stefanie finished it this afternoon, and had the following to say… “I like how aware Stephenie is of the fans. I’ve noticed this from the other portions of y’alls’ interview, too. She’s knows what’s going on in the fandom. Whereas another person in her position might deem themselves “too busy” to take notice of what’s going on, you can tell Stephenie’s got her finger on the pulse of the fandom… I also loved hearing her talk about being named a producer on BD.”
Interviewer: Okay so then, because you talk about all the pressure: in the movies, in the busy, you know you really just like to be at home… If you could do anything, I mean literally could just stop everything for let’s say six months, just do anything, what would it be that you would take your time to do? Would it be another story? Would it be…
Stephenie Meyer: If I could shut it all off for six months, it would be…I think I’d get another book done in that amount of time. [inaudible] It’s funny because for me it’s all about the story that’s keeping me up at night, and it fluctuates a little bit because the cannibal mermaids are… there’s such a story there. It’s a departure. It’s pure fantasy. It’s math in the front piece fantasy and it’s a whole other world, and that might throw people, right? But if I could write that in a vacuum and it doesn’t matter, I’d really want to write it for me. And then there’s the sequel to The Host.
Everyone: Yes.
Stephenie Meyer: Especially if we’re starting to work on [The Host] movies and they’re like: “Soooo, what’s gonna be in the next one?” I think I have ten years to write before they’ll just do their own sequel. It’s like: “Okay. Great.” And then there’s other ones. You know there’s a lot of little stories and they get me at certain times and I’ll see something that all of a sudden will suck me into that story and then I have to go write it down or I do forget. My memory… I tell you.
