Thank toi But Don't Boycott

Written par L. J. Smith | 09 February 2011

First, I want to thank my readers for all their messages of support. I’ve gotten far too many emails to answer, and I really appreciate the kindness and emotional sustenance you’ve donné to me at this difficult time.

Second, if you’ve asked me a question about the future livres ou the endgame of The Vampire Diaries and I’ve been vague about what’s in store, I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize. I really wasn’t looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant to the jour when I would have to talk about this.

Third, and most importantly, I want to ask anyone who was thinking of it, not to boycott Harper’s ou anyone. It just doesn’t make sense. Although I wanted and still want plus than anything to be able to continue The Vampire Diaries series myself, there’s no point in not trying the new books. (And remember, for fans of Bonnie and Damon, and strict Stefan and Elena fans, the immediate dynamics may be plus to your liking.) Besides which, Midnight, which is all mine, is coming out in March, and I believe there may be some of my écriture in Phantom.

Thanks again to all the fans who have shown loving and loyal kindness to me.

Well there toi have it folks. She asks us to not boycott.
I'm sorry L.J., but no toi and no Delena = me boycotting. I really hope people boycott the suivant livres too and they don't sell.

hajarMe, TheExcorcist and 5 others like this

xIXIxRSBxIXIx Damn thats so sad. How can you tear something away from a person that they devoted like 20 years of their lives to? She and DE will be mourned and missed BIG TIME

PinkVsBlue I agree with you. No L.J. no Delena= me boycotting too.

lizzie_jo5 boycott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lizzie_jo5 why does she want us to not boycott the books?

jendelena No LJ Smith= Me not buying any book after Midnight ^^^ She cannot tell people to boycott the new books, she can get sued for that.

Delenafan2 Sorry, no LJ would mean me boycotting as well. It wouldn't be the same and therefore not worth reading if done by someone else.

katie15 At least we know that she wanted a Delena end game. That for me is enough.

jendelena I find it hilarious she said to Bamon fans Bamon was an issue. Anyone with brains can see that Bamon does not affect Stelena in a book of 600 pgs. Bamon was never an issue its Delena the publishers are against Delena. That's why the new books are Stelena and Bamon and where is LJ Smith gone because she didn't feel like that was in her heart. If she wanted Stelena and Bamon she would still be writing the books. So much fail Delena all the way

mariafan How could they do it? unfair :/ i don't even wanna hear about the last 3 books :/

jendelena Neither do I the new books epic fail I hate predictable story lines>>#BORING

delenasalvatore She's being very gracious, but I wouldn't blame her for secretly thinking 'I hope sales for the new trilogy plummet.' I'm fairly new to the book series, but I feel so awful for her, I can't help it. I know she's made some unwise moves in things she's said in emails which unfortunately made themselves public, by siding with one ship and then another; but I don't care what 'breach in contract' she's made. It must be horrible to have the characters and story you created and have them plucked out of your hands and then deposited in another writer's, and have absolutely no say or control over it. I know that some fans here don't think that she's been sacked over the 'endgame', but look: no DE. Given the fact that they've been such a huge part of the books up til now, that's preposterous. LJ Smith mentions SE and BD but she's saying nothing about DE, which says everything. It looks as if they've been cut out of the series entirely. If they weren't, she would have said: 'DE fans don't need to worry; they're not going anywhere.' But there's no mention of them. I'm mad. I'm buying Midnight but that's it for me. As to what happens in the next set of books, I don't care if Elena does marry Stefan and Damon gets together with Bonnie. LJ Smith didn't write them. It doesn't count.

epicdelena4ever why are the publishers heads so far up there asses!!!...why dont they want delena..THEY OBVIOSULY know its the ship that ALL the people like WTF is there damn problem....well they started a war now..and ITS THEIR FAULT!...so if they start complaining to us... i swear the fandom is gonna kill them lmfaoooo!

jendelena Yes she says absolutely nothing about Delena because she know they are screwed for the new books and she's not even writing the new books. Its so obvious what she said was true about Delena she was fighting for them but her publishers didn't agree with her

teamsalvatore98 No LJ would cause me to boycott too. Who ever they hire to write the others is going to suck dick.

Aubreykarew Harper collins seriously is really horrid,, did some research on them and most of the books they have published have boring and cliched ending so predictable,, really proud of l j to stand up and fight for delena unlike those othr authors who were submissive to harper ,,,, its a real sadness to see this happen ,, i seriously wont be readin any books from harper especially their awful wicked lovely series they ruined my fav couple :( in wicked lovely too

Delenaness LJ is the reason why we have TVD. It gives me the shits, that the publishers are so unappreciative and think no one will see the difference between LJ Smith and the ghost writer, or won't matter who is writing the TVD books. What a nerve! I will definitely not support those fake books!!! It won't be the same characters anymore.

brokenheartlove :( This is SO unfair to LJ and to Delena... I curse you Harper Teens!!

hsm3-fan Why Is It Always Stelena?! Why Cant It Be Delena For Once! (In The Series) I Really Dont Wanna READ The Books! I'd Probaly Burn It! Bcoz of How BORING It Would Be! And Yes i Agree with Delenaness! LJ is the Reason Why We Have TVD! I Swear Were Gonna Have World War 3 For Defending Delena! Gosh How Will That Turn Out! Lol.
