Question of the Week…
May 8th, 2008 | By Kallieross | Category: Question of the Week
Ok everyone…
On our last podcast we did not reveal what we would be discussing next week… but since we will be seeing Stephenie Meyer at a book signing this Saturday, we thought it would be appropriate for the show to be all about her! We will be talking about our experience meeting her, and we will also discuss some of the Q&A she has done in regards to Breaking Dawn… this is where the Question of the Week fits in…
What could Stephenie write in Breaking Dawn that would ruin the whole series for you?
Have fun answering this one!
i don’t like jacob but i don’t hate him either but i would be upset if this whole love triangle continues. and it might just ruin the book. its really bugging me. why can’t bella just see that she can’t have both edward and jacob? and why can’t she see that edward is clearly the one for her? i’m sure jacob’s soul mate is out there and think she needs to make her entrance NOW.
btw last week’s podcast was hilarious! i’m also excited for this week’s because i’m also going to see stephenie on the 19th! i’m so excited! i have to finish the host soon! i better go read so i can see what happens! bye
Alexandra- I know, thats why I commented on it. Though when you think about it how would she get pregent. Edward won’t…you know….until they’re married. So even if Stephenie went back on what she said, teh chances of them even knowing Bella is pregent is like zero.
It would totally ruin it if
1) Bella runs off with Jacob
2) Bella’s thirst for blood ( if she becomes a vampire) leads her to split off from the Cullen family and thier way of life
3) Any Cullen dies
Edward just needs to flipping bite her already!… I mean it’s just going to totally ruin the book if throughout all this struggle and self consciousness Bella stays human forever.
i honestly dont really think that anything can really ruin the books for me, i guess its because i love them so much. if somthing was to happen that i wouldnt like it wouldnt stop me from reading the books (and re reading and re reading them!). its stephenie story, so for me nothing really could ruin the books what happends happends and she most likely wrote them like that for a reason.
sorry if im not making much sense just nothing could really ruin the books for me!
(LOVE the podcast by the way!!)
I think I was too extreame in my first response…
I looked at youtube and the lexicon and I saw what SMwas talking about with the book burning fans and I’m ashamed 🙁
I know I wouldn’t burn the book… I would totally sob though, no lie ; )
I dont think Stephine Meyer will want to kill anyone. If she does it wouldent be Bella Or Edward. Not Even Jacob. I dont think she could even have them split up. At this point i dont want to think about what SM might do to ruin the books. I hope she couldet do anything that would ruin the books. Me and my friend have a joke and we keep saynig that if anything happnes to ruin the book we will stab someone.
Hands down, Bella ending up with Jacob!!! I would have to really consider T-Peeing her house. HA HA only kidding, Stephanie is very in love with Edward and Bella together so that CANNOT happen. Hear me Stephenie. ha ha
Fellow-Twilighter
I think if Edward somehow gets turned back into a human. Not only would that be ridiculous because his body is already “dead” so to speak, but it would make all of the previous stories not as good. I would not have any desire to reread the books for the 4th time or see the movies. It would kind of all be for nothing. They need to live happily ever after, eternally. There are already stories of star crossed lovers that are human. If we want a human story we will read those. We love the fantasy!
if something crashed the wedding. the wedding has to be absolutely perfect! i would die if something ruined it!!
I love the Twilight Series, i really do..but when it comes to looking towards the future i can get a little paranoid, so please, bear (Emmett reference haha) with me. There is no doubt in my mind that Breaking Dawn will be fabulous, but i cant help but overthink the possibilities. It would completely disappoint me if:
A) Anyone dies. A lot of people have been saying that it would be horrible to lose someone like Edward(I pray to god, this doesn’t happen), but it would really make me sad to see anyone leave the story…because these characters have all become a part of our Twilight obsessed hearts.
B) Bella doesn’t become a vampire…this is just something that has to happen…no questions asked
C) Something horrible happens to Jacob. Okay this is very odd of me to say seeing as how..i dont exactly like Jacob having to do anything with Bella…yes, i play for Team Edward. But Jacob has seemed to grown on me throughout the story.
And we all know
Something bad happening to Jacob= Sad Bella=
Really Sad Edward….which we cant have right?
But overall i have faith in Stephanie Meyer….and cannot wait for Breaking Dawn.
P.S. I love the podcast girls!!

sorry for the double post ! haha triple.
Ok so i have been thinking about this question all day long and i have narrowed down somethings that would really bug me…
Number 1: The Tuckeverlasting ending…that would just kill me!! i read that book in 5th grade and i loved it untill the ending, the ending just ruined it for me
Number 2: Jacob not accepting the fact that Bella chose Edward over him, even if Jacob doesnt do anything like decide to fight edward, or crash the wedding, just knowing that he doesnt accept that would really bother me alot!! You know makes me want to just slap Jacob and tell him to just accept it and deal with it, of course i would probably break my hand trying to slap Jacob around 😉
Number 3: if the epilouge isnt good then it would ruin it for me, i want it to be good, i want to get me closure from it you know? like i want to read it close my book and just smile and know everything will be okay, but not like Harry Potter, last book was just to happy,and cheesy for me.
what would ruin the series for me, is if Edward dies. I have a strong (but sad) feeling that he will since Stephenie is always mentioning Romeo and Juliet. I really would NOT want that to happen and hopefully it won’t and so they can have their happy ending. (que Cassie’s signature YAY!) lol
PEACE!
Woah! if they had babies that wud be so cute!
not that it is possible of course, i dont think anyways but,
they would be so pretty!
aw ickle edward/bellas running around!
i wud cry! 🙂
i think i have posted in another message abit further up about what i would hate to happen but i would like to say that i think
everyone has been saying about how the Volturi might come and crash the wedding, now i dont want to sound weird but wudnt that be so clique? (sorry if it is spelt wrong)
i no that a vampire royal family coming and ruining your wedding is not normal but isnt it true that like 99% of movies and tv shows and books that have a wedding in
somehow the wedding gets crashed and stephaine doesnt seem the kind of lady to make something clique
also i think it wud be nice just to have a nice moment in the book that we can all shed afew tears over 🙂
even though there is like one of them every other chapter……
but yeah, im sorry if my little rant was a bit long but that is something that i think wud ruin it

I think it would be pretty bad if the book were written in Jacob’s or Leah’s perspective. I know the epilogue was written in Jacob’s prespective but Im not sure I could handle a whole book like that.
Edward or alice’s would be much better.
I think that I can handle just about any direction that Breaking Dawn can take except something bad happening to Jacob. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that Jacob belongs with Bella. He deserves someone who appreciates him and loves ONLY him. On the other hand – as much as I want Bella and Edward to be together, I don’t think that she should become a vampire. Bella is very young and does not yet realize how important her family (in addition to Edward) is to her. When I was her age I would probably have given up everything for my “true love.” Now that I have lost one sibling and my parents are growing older, I treasure the time that I spend with all my family and I appreciate the value of many important relationships in my life (not just one). Edward is old enough to have lost and gained many things and learned their value. If he truly, selflessly loves Bella, then I don’t see how he could allow her to give up everything for him. Besides, I don’t think that Bella being human or growing older, will change the way Edward feels about her. AND if Bella thinks that his feelings would change, then she is with the wrong guy. She should not, however, be with Jacob (like I said before). Stephenie needs to write ME into the next story and I will take care of Jacob.
oops in my last msg
i put clique instead of cliche! :0
sorry i am rubbish at spelling!
i ment cliche!
here is my msg agen without the mistake!
Woah! if they had babies that wud be so cute!
not that it is possible of course, i dont think anyways but,
they would be so pretty!

hmmm…
ruin the twilight series… this is hard…
i think if bella would end up with jacob. that would be something i would not like but it wouldn’t ruin the series.
i trust stephenie in ending the series in the right way! no matter what it will be it will be the best for the characters!
but that doesn’t mean i won’t be sad if something goes terribly wrong!
so that is my answer!
i totally love your podcast!
greetings from germany (yes i’m german)
bye
lisa
To lisa:
Ah! You’re from Germany? I’m taking German classes right now 🙂 . Lieben Sie andere Buecher? Auch, moechten Sie Jacob oder nicht? Ich denke er ist zu arrogant. (Entschuldigung. Ich weiss nicht das Wort fuer “arrogant”.)
The only thing I could think of is if she spends more than half of the story talking mainly about the werewolves. I am so deeply emotionally involved in Edward and Bella’s story that I, quite honestly, don’t give a crap about Jacob and the pack unless they somehow directly involve the Cullens.
Also, she’s had this huge build up for when Edward and Bella finally have sex and I’m worried that it’ll be something like, “Then they went to bed and Bella woke up a new woman…” which will leave me going “WTF?!” I don’t want to read a romance novel with ridiculous details but I also don’t want it glossed over. There must be a middle ground.
To Sarah C:
I hope you are right about a “middle ground” for Bella and Edward to consumate their relationship. But let’s be honest — we don’t really care about Bella and Edward having sex so much as US experiencing it through Bella’s thoughts. Unfortunately, based on the first three books and what I have read about what Stephenie wants in the books (and movies), I don’t see how we will ever be able to have the physical realtionship with Edward that WE would like to have. I am keeping my fingers crossed anyway.
i know I’m a bit late posting this as I’ve just listening to your podcast, but, things i would hate (and probably kill myself) if they happened…
1) Jacob not to be in it anymore
2) Jacob to die
3) Edward to die (or have a hidden secret from Bella)
4) Bella to back out of the turning just before it happens
5) The wedding not going through in some way or another
6) If Bella didn’t go after Jacob asap (well, after she’s turned into a vamp [she’ll be quicker, better sense of smell, etc.])
7) If Bella wants to go after Jake but Edward (for some reason) doesn’t let her
8) Bella being killed or turned by the Volturi
9) Bella doesn’t go looking for Jake
10) Bella forgets about how she feels about Edward and Jake and becomes a monster (a real monster)
11) The book ending with the wedding or the vamp transfromation
I think that’s it… :s I don’t know… Ah well…
x x x
Honestly, I think I would be totally crushed if Alice died. I love the character of Alice and if she died, I would be sooooooooo sad.
Plus, if Bella ever left Edward for Jacob, I’d have to shoot myself in the foot. Eeew. I think Jacob is way too arrogant for Bella.
Hey – even with TJ’s thorough A-Z criteria, I think Stephenie dodged them all!
except maybe:
U. If Jacob crashes the wedding
but it was more the reception than the wedding.. and his arrival was with good intention 🙂
