*glances around then hides behind a large brick wall and huddles, waiting for an attack of angry fangirls*

Ahem. i'm SO sorry guys!! i've been really busy the last few months and i haven't had the time or...>_> umm motivation to work on this club. i'm terribly sorry. i've just started high school and i've had homework non stop. i just decided to update because i found a touching article about the real town of Forks Washington. here's a snippit:

FORKS, Wash. - Pounding rain and heavy mist are constant in this timber town where logging's decline left a graveyard of rusting timber mills and unemployment. Businesses shut down. Parts of the local high school were condemned. Families started to drift away.

Until an unlikely cast of vampires breathed new life into the town.

the full article can be found here: [link]


ummm... it feels really weird typing here. i'll try to find time this weekend...no promises since i'll more than likely get lots of homework. plus i have a cosplay that really needs to be finished. anyway, it's a 3 day weekend so i'll try my hardest to go through and add some of the art work that has been submitted. the art is first, and if i still have time, i'll attempt adding new members.

again, i'm sorry for all this hiatus stuff...thank you all so much for understanding. if anyone has any questions, please send a note over to my PERSONAL account...

Thanks,
*Kiiri : Founder

Please don't kill us. We really are all extremely sorry for the lack of updates lately and hope you can forgive us. At the moment we are going through the inbox as quickly as wew can. The flood of messages and notes have us swamped. That's a good thing of course but you catch my drift. I'd just like to thank you all for your understanding and for not giving up on us. We aren't dead, just a little busy. ^_^ Welcome to all the new members of course and thank you all of our long time members.
Everyone, go to Stephenie's homepage! [link] Information on the new book, Breaking Dawn (To be released on the 2nd of August), and on the Twilight movie is all there.

PLEASE STOP FAVOURITING THE ART POSTED HERE. PLEASE GO TO THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK.

I'm SO sorry for the lack up updates, guys. I know I always say that, but it's true. We've got other priorities and things to do, so we can't always find the time to update. Thank you all for being understanding and not harping on use to get stuff posted. It's very appreciated ^_^

On with the news!
The Movie
The Twilight Movie is official! I'm not going to go into full details, but here's IMDb's page: [link] and Stephenie's page: [link] Robert Pattinson will be playing Edward, and Kristen Stewart will be playing Bella. Film production will be starting in February of 2008.

Contest
Not a new one, sorry! xP However, I just wanted to thank all of you who entered into our last one. Also, I never received notes from two of the winners. I can't draw your prize if you never let me know what you want! xP If you guys and think of a new contest idea and note it to me at my page, *Kiiri, we may b able to get another contest up and running.

The Club
Ok, so i've got 70+ notes to go through and who knows how many Deviations to get up. It's all my fault i know, but please stop sending deviation notes until the beginning of the new year. We need time to get the current ones up and respond to all the other notes. If you could do this for us, it'll be a huge help. Also, do NOT submit your deviations more than once. Or Join notes. We'll get to them eventually, but if you keep sending in the same not, it just back us up even more. Thank you xD

Other
thanks to ~Zaphaire for this tidbit! : Twilight was featured in Mutts in the SF chronicle the week before Halloween.

also:

PLEASE stop adding the pictures in our gallery to your favorites! PLEASE!! We provide a link to the original, so click it! Let the original artist know you love their work, not us!


Again, thanks for the support ^_^ With luck, I'll be able to get on here more often.

Sorry for the lack of updates. We've all been busy. I just answered most of the notes requesting to join and I have updated the members list. Art will come next. Please be patient everyone. We're trying our best.

PLEASE DO NOT FAVE THE ART IN OUR GALERY, FAVE THE ORIGINALS!!!

I don't know how to stress that enough. We only host the art. We don't deserve the credit, the original artist's do. So, please, fave theirs. We provide links to thier pages, so please go there, comment there, and fave them there.

Thank you guys. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Comments

"Propelled by suspense and romance in equal parts [this story] will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut."
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive. Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it."
— School Library Journal (starred review)

Twilight, the movie
So far, Twilight has been optioned for a movie. This means that MTV Films, Paramount, and Maverick Films have, as a group, bought the right to consider making Twilight into a film. (taken from: [link] )

EDIT
Apparently, the movie deal with MTV was canceled because they were just going to ruin the book. SO now the deal is with Summit. ^_^ thanks ~trackchick and ~deweygirl03 for the info!!

Outtakes

New Moon
Available now

Summary: (from (c) page)
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning...

Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers, Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

Eclipse

Summary: (from (c) page)
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob—knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?
