Eden Relates Her Experience Meeting Stephenie Meyer

April 13, 2011

We reported about a week ago how Eden from Florida was the American winner of the meet Stephenie Meyer opportunity run by Little Brown. You can now see Eden’s report on the Twilight Saga website:

“My experience with Stephenie Meyer and the other international winners was more than amazing, it was priceless. Meeting people from around the world that love the Twilight Saga as much as I do has been an eye-opening experience. I have made life long friends with the other winners. We will always be able to discuss Twilight on a different level because of this fabulous opportunity afforded to us. Coming together and experiencing the amazing Stephenie Meyer is something that we experienced as a group. I will never forget the ten other winners and their guests. I have made life long friends with all of them. Many of these memories were shared with the one person that made all of this possible, Stephenie Meyer! I do not have enough words to describe how much of a wonderful, warmhearted person Stephenie is, plus she is the author of some of my favorite books!”

Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide Giveaway—Outside the USA

April 12, 2011

We’ve been getting a lot of tweets and emails from people who have to wait days, weeks, or moths for the guide to come out in their countries.  Usually the email have been coming in with multiple : ( after their sentences. We always feel bad when we have contests that are USA only (never our choice the supplier’s choice). Last week, we promised that we would do a giveaway for the people who live outside the USA and here it is.

If you live outside of the territories and states of the United States of America, we are going to pick a random two people from the comments, and we will send the guide to you. The version we have at our disposal is the American version, which we will ship to the winners. We don’t have any foreign language versions.

So, in the comments, just tell us what you are looking forward to in the guide and in what country you reside. We’ll pick a random two winners on Friday, April 15th at 11:59 pm eastern.

We don’t care if you are on the science station in Antarctica, Northern Siberia or points in between we will ship it to you!

The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide–Fan Artist Highlights

April 12, 2011

The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide is now on shelves or you can get it via Amazon.com. Aside from fabulous information that tells the backstory of fan favorite characters like Alice, we now also have details on our favorite villains like Victoria (or maybe she’s not such a villain after all). We also now get all the history of all of the Volturi coven members and the covens that came to be witnesses for the Cullens. Wolfpack people, no fear, there’s lots of new info on Emily, Sam, Leah and other pack members.

Now aside from all of those juicy details, there are fabulous illustrations through out the book of characters, places, cars, clothing, etc.

One of our favorite sections was the section designated toward fan artists! There is an entire collection of fan art that illustrates different moments in the Twilight Saga. The media and style is different artist by artist. Some are charcoal, some are watercolor, some are abstract, etc. regardless they are all fantastic!

We’d like to call attention to two of them who we have known about for years. They were two of the very first artists to be part of the Ramblings And Thoughts fanfic and fan art site. To our knowledge, this was the first site to recognize fanfic and fan artists side-by-side in the Twilight world.

The first is Darcy Ripley whose fan name is Tainted Tea. Darcy leans towards a surreal style. Below is a picture of Darcy’s of Edward and Bella that doesn’t appear in the guide, but she has two others that do. You can find Darcy’s website here, and you can see more of her Twilight related fan art here.

The next is Kim Kincaid whose fan name is Fatty Lumpkin. Kim works in several media and does mostly portrait work. Below is one of her pictures or her vision of Edward that doesn’t appear in the guide, but she also has two others that do(portraits of Emmett and Jacob). You can find Kim’s website here, and her blog here and you can see more of her Twilight related fan art here.

Congrats to both Darcy and Kim!

Team Twilight Interviews Judi Shekoni

April 12, 2011

Team Twilight has a great interview with Judi Shekoni who plays Zafrina in Breaking Dawn

“TT: It’s funny, because reading the cast’s Twitter updates, it kind of seems a bit like summer camp. Was that the kind of experience it was? It is just so many people working every single day together. I am curious what that was like.

JS: It must have been really interesting for you guys reading all the Twitter. That makes me realize that I know only what I write, really. But if you seem them all together, you probably have a better idea of what it was like for everyone than me, who was in the middle of it. It was really to see that everyone’s opinions of what went on kind of built up a true picture. I think it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity where I got to be with a group of like-minded individuals. Everyone around about the same age. Everyone on the same journey together. And also, all of us doing an interesting, cool film. We aren’t doing one where I’m pregnant and my baby’s ill,and it’s not something that is like torturous to shoot, and super highly emotional. It was one about relationships and we kind of felt like that by bonding with each other we were adding tot he film.

TT: Did you do any physical training?

JS: I did some training, yes. And also, for me, I felt like Zafrina has a toughness about her, and also a strength, coming from the rain forest and being self-sufficient out there, and being of nature, so for me it was really important to build up a physicality that represented that. So I definitely was putting myself in the gym a lot. Whether you see the results on camera is the question, but I was there pretty much every day. I felt like a girl’s gotta do her bit. Now all of these guys have these amazing bodies in this film. I don’t think I quite achieved a Taylor or a Kellan body.

TT: I don’t think you want to have a Taylor or Kellan body, as a woman.

JS: That would be scary.”
