Twilight Series Theories has a huge 15 minute segment of the fan junket interview transcribed. It is mostly about Stephenie’s interactions with fans.

“Fansite: And then we just want to know, out of all the things we’ve touched on today is there anything that maybe you want to say to the fans that you haven’t been able to say?  Any message or…

SM: You know, I feel like the fans, they know, they know me.  I feel like they kinda know who I am and that I appreciate them.  I write for myself, and I have to, but I appreciate them because having an audience is a gift and I do not take that for granted.  It is really amazing to sit in a room with people and talk about people that you made up: “Hey, let’s talk about my imaginary friends!”  And you guys care about my imaginary friends, and that’s weird, but…

(chatter and laughter)

Fansite: At least you don’t have to take medication for it.

SM: Exactly! [inaudible] I get to talk to people about it.  I’m not a therapist.  No, it’s cool because writing is—for me, everybody has something different for them.  And you guys all write, in a different way, but I’m assuming there’s a lot of pleasure in it for you or you wouldn’t do it and so you know what it is to have somebody read what you’ve written and enjoy it.  It’s a really big deal, and so I just hope that people keep reading.  I hope they give me a chance.  I hope when my next book isn’t Midnight Sun that people still will give it a chance.  I feel bad that that’s a negative for the fandom and it’s something I that I want to do, but I want to do it right, and that’s just how—and I only write when it brings me joy.

Fansite: Your happy place.

SM: It is my happy place.  And having readers is a different happy place, but a really fun one. And as you can see from the books I love reading.  I love books.  I love being in that world and one of the coolest things with helping, you know making people happy, is [for] a lot of people this is the springboard and then they go on to bigger and better and exciting books.  There’s so many cool things out there.  People that—being a reader is who I am my whole life—and that people haven’t discovered that makes me a little crazy.  It’s like: “No! There’s so much!”  I remember talking to a guy when I was touring for The Host and he was mic-ing me up for the Glenn Beck thing that I did, which was weird.  I haven’t done that a lot where you’re looking at a camera and you’re supposed to be talking to them…and oh it’s creepy.  We’re talking and he’s like: “So you wrote a book about aliens?” And I’m like: “Yeah.”  And I said, “What do you like to read?”  He says, “Oh I don’t read books.  I’ve read maybe three books in my life.  I hate reading.”  And I thought, “That’s because they gave you the wrong ones!”  They gave him the wrong ones and he has no idea of all the stuff that he’s missing.  It makes me a little crazy.  I just want everyone to go out and find Jasper Fforde.  And I want [them] to go out and find Mark Zusak and I want them to find these amazing books and go to the young adult section and find what’s out there.  There’s so much.  If you haven’t read Suzanne Collins, oh my gosh, do it!”

Twilight Series Theories has a transcript of the Stephenie Meyer fan junket interview. Now a bunch of it has been seen before on other sites; however there is new info that didn’t make the cut in the other version. What’s also good it that it’s one long section in chronological order so you can see how one topic flowed into the other.

Here’s a snippet:

“SM: This one she says may not be answerable.

Kallie: It may not be legal and that’s okay. If it’s not, okay.  I feel like a rebel right now.

Kassie: You are.  I told her not to ask it.

Kallie: I’m the straight-laced one.  Okay, so Breaking Dawn the book is being made into two movies.

SM: Yeah.

Kallie: Breaking Dawn I, Breaking Dawn II?

SM: Oh the names?

Kallie: Yes, for the movies.

SM: Oh I don’t know.  I don’t know.

Kallie: Do you have any ideas or anything?

SM: I don’t have anything.  I was thinking about that one because Breaking Dawn I and Breaking Dawn II is really flat, but then what else are you gonna do?

Kallie: I think we should look towards the Alien movies and what they’ve called them ‘cause I always think that the baby scene…

Matt: “Breaking Dawns”?

Fansite:  You know how it’s like breaking out?

Kallie: Yeah, “Breaking Out” is number one and Breaking Dawn can be number two.  No, not really.  But you know—”

Twilight Fans has more coverage with the fanjunket with Stephenie. This week it’s about the Volturi, the actors who play them, and flawed edward.

“Aro

SM: We kicked around a lot of names with that. And Michael Sheen was Chris’ choice (Chris Weitz, director). “Frost/Nixon,” he’s a great actor, but I couldn’t see him as Aro.

Alison: Oh, Lucian! (the character he played in the “Underworld” movies)

SM: Well, I hadn’t seen the “Underworld” thing, and I was like, “I don’t know,” I kinda had a different mental image. I had this actor, that actor that I wanted. And he talked me into it. First day I saw him on set, I went up to Chris and I said “thank you so much. You were right, I was wrong. I will listen to you forever, because you were SOO right on that one.”

Nikki (LTT): When he delivered that line, it’s just like, “oooooh!!”

SM: It was a delight to watch him go in there. Every little take he did something different. He did slightly different things. Always, of course, lines were perfect. Never a mistake, but he would give something different for the director to pull from. And he’s so great, he’s a really interesting guy. So much fun to talk to.

Bekah (LTT): My husband, who thinks I’m crazy, when Michael Sheen was in…

SM: That’s one of the reasons I love that movie…I love watching him, where every time he comes on, I’m like, “Say something!”

CAIUS…………………..

SM: I hate that Jamie Campbell Bower didn’t get as many lines. He is chilling. He actually tried out for Demetri. And he was too scary for Demetri. We were watching it. There was another guy that — Demetri is supposed to be — Charlie (Bewley) was sort-of the in-between. Demetri was supposed to be smoother and calm people down. But then of course, maybe people don’t want to ever have somebody as the peace maker. They want all the tension. So Charlie was scary, but not as scary (laughs) as Jamie. Jamie was CHILL-LING. And that his face took the makeup like nobody else. He has no pores! His skin was perfect! He got in the makeup, and every line he delivered had so much weight. It was like “more, more please.” Caius needs a story. The whole thing with him and Michael Sheen was great. Well, Marcus too.”
