Stephenie Meyer, the author of the best-selling “Twilight” books about vampires, has announced she would postponed indefinitely the fifth part of the series, after a partial draft of the installment was illegally posted on the Internet.

Meyer, who wrote “Twilight” and its sequels “New Moon, “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn,” said she had a good idea about how the book was leaked on the Internet, as she only had a few copies of “Midnight Sun” and each one was different. But she refused to give names or any more details about the matter, and said she did not think the person who contributed to the leak had bad intentions.

“The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that, as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution,” she wrote on her website.

However, she said the event upset her terribly, as she felt her rights as an author as well as a human being were violated, as she was the only one who owned the copyright and the book could not be legally released without her permission.

Meyer said she hoped that this experience would leave her fans “with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.”

We don’t know whether the fans were left with this understanding, but they were surely angry and disappointed by the author’s decision.

After Meyer said that she was too sad about what happened to continue working on the book, fans all over the world went crazy and started signing petitions to convince the best-selling writer produce the last book of the series.

“Midnight Sun” tells the love story of a human teenager named Bella and her vampire lover Edward, from the latter’s perspective. Well, a perspective that the fans will never get to know, apparently, if Meyer doesn’t change her mind.
