Lady Silly Potatohead is at it again with a new press release.
She's leaving the future of Russet Nooner to S. Meyers.
Mighty big of the Syb, ain't it?
I'm thinking the Potatohead is still desperately longing to hear from Ms. Meyers directly and thus find a morsel of validation for her existence.
Ahh, but there are conditions! She wants to print 50 copies to hand out as freebies.
Ms. Meyers, I recommend a resounding NO to this moron.
Quoted in full before the Potatohead removes it:
Give it time, Potatobrains. They’re probably still laughing themselves silly at your magnificent gesture.
Consider just how much fan mail arrives at the publisher for Ms. Meyers every day. Add to that the countless manuscripts, submissions, and ordinary mail a large publisher handles on a daily basis.
Sometimes my fan mail doesn't reach me until two months after it was sent.
So please repeat this mantra: "I am NOT special...I am NOT special..." until it sinks in.

Lady Sybilla Apologizes to Stephenie Meyer for Writing Russet Noon.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release)
(Not to mention making a mint off your work by selling this fanfic ripoff illegally on Ebay and from my Russet Nooner website!)– May 10, 2009 – Much controversy has surrounded the tribute novel Russet Noon since its upcoming publication was announced. According to blog reports, Stephenie Meyer's reps at Little, Brown in the U.K. are "well aware" of the novel already (http://twilight-to-breakingdawn.blogspot.com/2009/03/rus ...).
For this reason, Lady Sybilla made a final decision about Russet Noon and left its ultimate fate in Stephenie Meyer's hands. She wrote Ms. Meyer a letter of apology and let her know that she would be willing to shut down the project permanently if she asked her to.
The AV Paranormal team decided to give it a few days until the letter arrived at the New York office of Little, Brown to disclose it. Now, for the first time since the letter was sent on April 30th, 2009, it is released to the public. The letter is as follows:
Ms. Stephenie Meyer
c/o
Little, Brown and Company
Hachette Book Group, USA
(Address Omitted)
New York, NY 10017
Dear Ms. Meyer:
My name is Glorianna Arias and my pen name is Lady Sybilla. I understand some of your fans may have been contacting you to complain about my novel, Russet Noon.
First and foremost, I want to apologize to you for having started such an uproar. In all honesty, I never imagined there would be so strong and massive a reaction on the part of Twilight fans all over the Internet.
I want to assure you that my only intention was to pay tribute to you and your story by turning Jacob into a superhero.
That you got caught.I know I had no right to do this, no matter how much I loved your characters. I have no excuse for my actions. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry.
This woman's got more nerve than a bum tooth.By this means, I want to ask if you would please allow me to publish Russet Noon as a paperback.
More than enough for an enterprising Twi-fan--such as the Syb herself--to scan and upload it onto the Net for all to read. Thus she grabs the attention she craves while allowing her to wail, "Some fan stole my words!"I assure you that I will only print 50 copies to give away to people for free.
Let this post attest to the fact that you're about as stable as the San Andreas Fault.I will cover all publication costs and will never try to sell it. Let this letter attest to that.
It's something we would ALL prefer--never to hear from you again unless you have a legit and ORIGINAL book to pimp.However, if you prefer for me to shut down the project altogether,
Good heavens, was that the sound of the Clue Train smacking her in the arse?I will understand your position. It is your story, and they are your characters.
You already KNOW what will make things right. Shut down everything immediately, including the 50 copies, go write something YOU made up, and hope everyone forgets this idiocy.If you ask me to shut it down, I will do so immediately. All I want to do at this point is make things right.
Bolding is mine.Please let me know how you want me to proceed. Thanks very much for your time.
Respectfully,
Glorianna Arias
Founder, AV Paranormal Publishing
Phone: (Omitted)
End of letter.
So far, neither Stephenie Meyer nor her publisher has responded to the letter, so AV Paranormal is still moving forward with publication.
Give it time, Potatobrains. They’re probably still laughing themselves silly at your magnificent gesture.
