A/N: Extra chapter that I just HAD to add. If you guys didn't see, Stephenie Meyer added a BD frequently asked questions page to her site. This is my version of the BD frequently asked questions...
SM: Oh crap! I bet my fans are expecting a question/answer page for
Breaking Dawn. What should I do? mumbles something about not knowing
any of the answers herself Now let's see...
What does the cover mean?
The cover?! I just chose it cuz I thought it looked pretty...but my fans are expecting some deep symbolic interpretation! Ummmm -calls Seth- to ask what the little red piece is again... Oh yes, something about Bella being a chess piece...cool. Maybe that could be my next story. I could copy JK Rowling yet again and have a giant chess game! She's gonna end up suing me one of these days...
What does the title mean?
Well, I couldn't use my first choice, Forever Dawn. So I needed to choose another title. I think Breaking Dawn fits the story nicely. I did pretty much break/destroy the whole plot...
What does the Book I prologue refer to?
The demon vamp spawn eating Bella from the inside out. I thought it would be emotional to show the love in that scene -wipes tear away-
Why the big build up for a fight that didn't happen?
Because I was afraid that stealing just one more idea from JK just might push me over the line. Not to mention the fan gurlz that would come and kill me if anyone even moderately likeable died. And on top of that, I'm a big fairy tale fan. I love happily ever afters and all that crap. I thinking about doing a short series title 'Cinderbella' where Bella can't go to the prom because her evil stepsister Rosalie makes her stay home and baby-sit her baby doll collection...
What was the other book besides Midsummer Night's Dream that you said influenced Breaking Dawn?
Rosemary's Baby...I mean Merchant of Venice, heh heh
What happened to Marcus's wife?
Um which one is Marcus again? Oh yes, he's the one who I still neglected to developed...Yeah, his wife, was like, killed by Aro. But that's Aro little secret. Marcus still thinks it was an 'accident' having to do with time traveling mermaids...
How different is Breaking Dawn from Forever Dawn? What changed, what stayed the same, and why? Will you ever post extras from Forever Dawn?
What changed? Nothing! Why do you think it wasn't published the first time? I'm still in shock that it made it past the publishers this time...
Why the name Renesmee?
Well, I really did prefer EJ or Edwacob, but since the whole imprinting thing happened, I had to make the vamp spawn female. (My publishers were very strict about keeping it at a young adult genre) Renesmee is actually a swear word in Farsi, but not too many people know that...
What's the deal with "shapeshifters"?
That's what happens when you don't do your research and make things up as you go along. By the time I realized that the werewolves, were not, in fact, werewolves, New Moon and Eclipse where already published.
What happened to Leah?
Oh, crap! I forgot to mention that, didn't I? She lives a pathetic, pointless existance wondering why I couldn't have hooked her up with Jake instead of him imprinting on the vamp spawn. You know, now that I think about, that would've made pretty good story...
What happened to Sam's father?
He was one of those aholes who leaves the mum for another woman, sort of like the Emily/Leah thing. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
Is Billy actually Ephraim?
WTF? What kind of question is that?
Who is Embry's father?
Didn't quite get that far in plot outline. I'll pull another Breaking Dawn (make it up as I go along sort of thing) when I need to.
Vampires and pregnancy: when did that idea occur to you? How does that work?
One word...fan fiction. My little fan gurlz are so creative! I had no idea what to write about so I read through a few fan fictions and stole their brilliant ideas! And how does the whole pregnancy thing work? I dunno...sparklepire sperm?
Why did you decide to end the saga?
Who said I was done? Bella still needs to meet some time traveling mermaids...
How do you feel about the Breaking Dawn controversy?
There's a controversy?
I've heard you say that you think Breaking Dawn should be two movies. Why? Also, that it might be impossible to film. What does that mean?
The birth scene. I don't think they have a rating for uterus chewing...
Is Bella an anti-feminist heroine?
No, just because Bella got married at 18, immediately got pregnant, didn't attend college and doesn't stand up for herself after Edward mauls her while having sex doesn't make her antifeminist...
What are you going to do next? Will you continue with the Twilight universe?
Well, I mentioned my idea for a Cinderbella series earlier on. I was also thinking about doing a time traveling mermaid book. Maybe I could add some unicorns and magical pixie horses while I'm at it.
