"If Summit wants to respect the interests of others while still turning a profit, it should take a cue from the woman who created Twilight -- the books' author, Stephenie Meyer. Her official Web site includes links to hundreds of unofficial sites, which host fan-written fiction, art and photos from the films, along with commentary.
"Meyer does not forgo copyright protection -- she doesn't let her fans download her books for free and was justifiably upset when a draft of a Twilight sequel, 'Midnight Sun,' was leaked before it was completed. But by supporting fan fiction and art, Meyer recognizes that she's not the only person who has a say in what the Twilight series represents."
-- Christina Mulligan, "The Twilight copyright saga: Forbidden love and forbidden T-shirts", The Washington Post, 2010-07-04
