I tend to really disassociate. Although she worried about how her depictions of Quileute wolf legends would be received by the tribe, Meyer said the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Swan and her year-old vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen, had their first date at Bella Italia restaurant. Meyer and her sister were surprised to find a real Bella Italia restaurant in downtown Port Angeles when they toured the area prior to the release of the first novel.

In , after a Fanfiction. Clare spent three years on the New York Times bestseller list, and in , she signed a three-book deal reportedly in the high seven figures. Her Mortal Instruments novels has also made it to the small screen as the Shadowhunters series on Freeform.
Shadowhunters, currently in its second season, averaged a modest 2. That said, Clare is still facing allegations regarding her work. Dark-Hunter author Sherrilyn Kenyon filed a copyright and trademark infringement suit against Clare in February Kenyon has since dropped the copyright claims and the unfair competition claims were dismissed, but the trademark dispute is still ongoing.
Clare maintains these claims are "meritless. Beyond controversial figures such as James and Clare are thousands of authors who have found professional success through their fanfiction, on a smaller scale—but with much less drama. Racheline Maltese owes much of her success to her fanfiction ventures.
Maltese landed her first book deal by responding to a Craigslist posting asking for writers to work on a Harry Potter trivia book. Also, I have a journalism degree. She sent links to her work and signed a book deal the next day. Maltese met her current co-writer, Erin McRae, through a Glee fanfiction community and now writes for serialized novels, thanks to her fanwork. Titled Tremontaine , the anthology is based on the works of Ellen Kushner and is published by the Serial Box Company, which specializes in serialized works.
Kushner was aware that Maltese already wrote fanfiction based on her series. Cecilia Tan , a multi-genre erotica writer, was a published author with the Big Five houses, including HarperCollins and Macmillan, before writing fanfiction.
Like many fanfiction authors, Tan found a creative home in Harry Potter fandom and thrived on the feedback and camaraderie. Tan was inspired to write her Magic University series though her experiences with Harry Potter fanfiction, though the two series have little to do with each other. Imagine Hogwarts was a college and had openly LGBT students who spent more time having sex than studying.
Unlike Rowling, Tan anticipated that readers would write fanfiction based on her work—so why not get a piece of the action? Quote from Racheline Maltese. Though fanfiction has the potential to generate beaucoup bucks, there is resistance both inside and outside the community towards commercialization. The criticism from outsiders is fairly typical. Putting aside the matter of personal taste, the sheer number of fanfiction titles guarantees a vast range in quality.
Consider Cupcakes , a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fanfiction that is widely regarded as one of the worst fanfictions of all time, in which Pinkie Pie kills Rainbow Dash and uses her corpse to bake cupcakes. Fans can also turn on each other when one of their own turns the hobby into a career. The cases of professional authors taking copyright suits to court are few and far between, but in the early days of fanfiction, legal troubles were a very real concern.
For instance, The Vampire Chronicles author Anne Rice is believed to have sent a cease and desist letter to Fanfiction. Rice is far from the only author to rail against fanfiction writers, but trying to stop fanfiction writers is like a game of whac-a-mole, so most professional authors at least tolerate noncommercial fanfiction. Before the night of the dream, Stephenie says she had lost herself a little in the work of motherhood. I really had gotten into that zombie mom way of doing things where I wasn't Stephenie anymore," she says.
That was the dam bursting. I'd been bottling up who I was for so long, I needed an expression. Though she'd been married for 15 years, Stephenie says she didn't tell her husband at first about her new passion. I'd barely spoken to him because I had all these things going on in my head, and I wasn't telling him about this weird vampire obsession because I knew he'd freak out and think I'd lost my mind," she says.
At first, Stephenie was documenting her dream only to make sure she would remember it, she says. That's why I started writing it down -- not because I thought this would be a great story for a novel. Though Stephenie had been an avid reader all her life, she says she was never a writer before "Twilight. I did the dream. And then I wanted to see what would happen with them.
It was just me spending time with this fantasy world, and then when it was finished it was like, 'This is long enough to be a book! When I was 8, I was reading "Gone with the Wind" and "Pride and Prejudice" and all that, not knowing it wasn't my reading level. Now that "Twilight" is a huge success, it's hard to imagine any literary agent rejecting it. But Stephenie says she'd submitted it to plenty of people before she was signed.
