Hope2011-04-13 03:16
1st I must just say that I am a big fan! I hadn't read for quite a while & then I picked up Night World and found my love of reading again.. My fiance doesn't like it so much 'cause i totally zone out to the world around me! In regards to NW.. Jez in Huntress is called a freak 'cause she is 1/2 Vampire 1/2 Human, but I was thinking, in Soulmate, when you get a better insite in2 how Maya turned Thierry into a Vampire, Maya says to him something along the lines of.. I will have a son (Red Fern) who will be like me, he will not be your's as once I turn you, you will not be able to procreate.. I was thinking, isn't Red fern 1/2 human 1/2 vampire also as Maya is the only 'original' Vampire, or did she get a male to do the same spell that turned her therefore making her son 'pure blood'?! It's somethin I've been thinkin 'bout.. but sometimes I do over-think things Again I love your books & cannot wait for Strange Fate to come out! Blessed Be
I hope that your health problem's work out and that after your body has given them the kick you live a happy and prosperous life! Please let me leave you with this.. In the end it is not the years in your life that count, it is the life in your years! I hope that they are filled with happiness and joy as that is what you deserve
Hi Rebecca, I believe that the best source is always the horses mouth.. Go to the 2011 Blog section and read 'Unexpected and Unwelcome news'. It should help you out?! I hope that this helps

Very good thinking about Red Fern. But you see, Maya was a witch, not a human, and witches and vampires are both part of the Night World and allowed to marry. The same situation holds for Hunter Redfern and Maeve Harman--and for that matter for James Rasmussen and Poppy North of Secret Vampire. In each case, the male was lamia (the kind of vampire who can have children) and the female was a witch, even if, like Poppy, a lost witch.
Jez, however is the child of a human and a vampire--something that was thought impossible.
It all makes sense now! I never thought about the fact that witches and vampires and shapeshifters have... you know... procreated... with one another throughout the ages. Thank you very much for the reply comment, I hope that you blessed be

Seif2011-04-13 10:15
Oh, LJ! What can I say?! I finished Midnight last night!!!! IT WAS SO GOOD! The ending was BEAUTIFUL! *SPOILER ALERT!!* I am so glad Elena lives with J**i** and *a*g**e* again!!! And the last chapter!!!! AND WHEN ELENA ALMOST FROZE TO DEATH! LJ, Bonnie was beautiful in this one! She has such a pure soul, it makes me fall in love with her more every page (You've created every girl's fantasy with Damon, and every guy's with Bonnie. I'm hopelessly in love with her). My country, Egypt, is going through very difficult times - what with the revolution and all - and I am so glad I found an escape. Very sad you won't be continuing your series, but I'm glad the ending is wonderful; I won't be reading the The Hunters trilogy, you see. Very sorry about your illness. Warmest love and hugs
I read Midnight and I can't believe the ending!!! I just hope *******I love your Vampire Diaries series!!
Hey, no spoilers (aka don't give away what happenes). Some of us haven't read it yet! And some people won't read books if they know the ending. So, you could hurt Lisa's sales!
hey i must say that u r like 1 of my ALL TIME favorite authors, my fav characters r Ash and Quinn lol b/c thet're sobad but they fall in love...soooo cool lol. So, anyway i was just wondring if maybe you could put some pics of them on your site...??? maybe???...
Ok let me first say that you are the best writer ever!!i looove your books...i feel as if im in them when im readin lol!!! I finished midnight today and let me tell you i felt like crying when i found out that it was the end!!i know that sounds lame but its its true!i cant believe that they would be stupid enough to drop their best writer!!i hope you continue writing and selling books...i know that i would defenitely buy every one of them!!good luck!
I just read Midnight.....and I loved so very much!! The ending was beautiful....and I cried the whole time!! I know that this was your last book.....so I won't read the next books called The Hunters. I know that in the end of the book Elena stays with Stefan....but for me the only one that she truly loved was Damon...thats my opinion....and I have to say that I got sad because of the end of the story. Because for me the love between Elena and Damon was so deep and truly pure. And I think that her and Stefan never had that kinda of love.....but I love your book.....in my opinion is THE BEST of all your books...!!
P.S: I'm from Brazil so I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong.
Oh my, you totally summed up what I was thinking, whenever she was with Damon it was captivating. When she was with Stefan it felt... forced? Can't think of a good word. I feel like Elana thought she had to be with Stefan cause she saw him first. If only Damon got there sooner... Thanks LJ I love you work!

Harman Kaur2011-04-22 21:18
I just finished reading Midnight, and it blew me away. I agree with you Melissa, the book was lovely, and the ending was so pure and oh i'm gonna start crying all over again. Anyway you get what I'm saying.(Don't Judge, I only found out a week ago)I heard that Midnight is the last book in the series, and now someone else is gonna start writing the series("The Hunters" don't worry I won't read it)and I have to ask you Why, Why, WHY are you letting them do that, please explain I don't get it;( Are you getting tried of writing this serie or what not. Please change your mind don't let another person write your series. it would ruined everything 1) the characters won't be the same, they'll have a differant personality 2) nobody else has your creative mind, it just won't be the same 3) I hope you get better,I read in your blog that you're feeling a little sick;( "Please don't let it be true"
I finished reading midnight and I have to say it was AMAZING especially the little twist at the end with Damon. Please dont let the series end hear, I would love to see how the relationship between Elena and Damon will change things in fells church especially with stefen and bonnie.

Damon Salvatore2011-04-14 12:36
And Alloy (publishing) services has recieved a long angry email about it as well. Look, the rest of you fans may quarrel about how much you want to complete the story, etc. But the truth is, The Vampire Diaries is LJ Smith's baby. Her story. As I have said before in many places, Damon Salvatore is my name. It's on my social security card. I became a fan because of that coincidence in the 1990s and I am 29 years old. Story Damon's character has grown on me, shaped my upbringing. After watching the CW network change as much as they could on the show, I just frowned. Then I kept reading in this guestbook that they're going to violate the actual continuity of the books? That's the last straw. Not only will I boycott, I will organize a boycott. There are many forums and mailing lists for LJ Smith fandom. I will reach out, travel across the country, and notify many customers about any sequels under the Vampire Diaries title that aren't written by LJ Smith herself. Corruzione è perversione!
L.J Smith doesnt want us boycotting against it. because no matter she or we do it wont make a difference i want to help her as well but it was in the contract that no matter what they owned her writings.
+23#RE: she said not to —
Damon Salvatore2011-04-16 12:01
It doesn't matter whether she wants us not to boycott. It has to be done. And I'm not saying that I'll just boycott the books if she no longer writes them. That wouldn't make a difference; it would be like a grain of sand. I'm saying that I'll rally as many people as possible to the cause and print out information to leave at every Wal Mart, Target and bookstore to let people know these cheap tactics used by Alloy. They may own her story, but they can't say on the cover that it is written by LJ Smith if she did not write it. That is false advertising.

Damon Salvatore2011-04-30 03:00
Well I was born with this name. I'm just not a fictional character in a book. Anyway, I've signed all the online petitions I could find. Vampire Diaries: Hunters (Phantom) seems like it will hit shelves in October. So with a little procrastination until October, I can wait until it's released. If the news isn't good and there is a ghost writer ripping off her name; there will be action. No replies from Alloy publishing.. They must think I'm not serious.
i heard somewhere that in phantom l.j. might be able to...um i forget wat u cll it but shell b able 2 hve a say in the plot or sumthin. and i no u were born with that nme try tllin ma friends though theyre impossible

Seif2011-04-15 12:19
Wow. Another male fan of The Vampire Diaries !!! So cool. That must have been amazing to have seen that coincidence in the nineties.. Anyway, I'm so glad you will boycott. I refuse to read The Hunters. It will destroy:
1) Bonnie's importance 2) Damon's chance at having Elena 3) The High Fantasy element (Dark Dimension, etc) 4)The Characters' personalities! These are LJ's characters! How dare they assume they can manipulate them as they wish?!?!?!?!
do alloy marketing have a phone number? I would like to actually talk to these monkeys! I'm basically having a oone-sided conversation with them becuase they don't reply to my angry emails! I think if you chose your words carefully and if you were actually talking to them it might make a difference. I can be very persuasive. and couldn't Lisa just find another publisher?
I've been wonderering the same thing. =[ She could find another Publisher but it wouldn't matter since Alloy has all the "Important Rights" so even though she created it, they own it. =[
I can't believe they did this! I was already disappointed in the Stefan Diaries as they did not follow the story line of the originals. Now I understand that she will no longer be writting the story she created! I absolutely will not purchase any books in this series not written by her!! If you have the email address of Alloy can you send it to me so I can write them as well? (Cammy50aol.com)
Just got my book in the mail today...can't wait to get into it! I absolutely LOVED Shadow Souls and am looking forward to returning to the dark dimension! Also so happy to hear there will be another ark!!
First of all your books are amazing! LOVE the nightworld series and i cannot wait for strange fate to come out!!!! im always on the internet looking for nighworld stories i just cant get enough! i really really really want to know what happens i must say that i have never been into a series as much as this one. the story line is amazing, i want a soulmate now!!!! i did have a question, will all of the night world characters (ash mary lynnete, gillian, etc) come out in strange fate? also from reading the short stories, how long did it take for the apocalypse to hit? in one of the stories it mentions that it did not happen at the millenium, just wondering! but overall i looooovvveee your books!

Hello!!! It will be lying to say that I love The Vampire diaries, because my admiration to all her books is stronger than love!! So please, I know that Lisa doesn't want us to fight, but as Damon we don't have to leave the party without fighting!!! Therefore, sign for this petition!!! http://www.petitiononline.com/ljsmith/petition.html Thank you very much!!!
hi. There is a message in guestbook six that is very disrespectful to lj smith. I think it is message 896 but im not sure. I think i got banned from this site for a short while because i tried to quote a message from somebody and i put on the end "get off this site" but it went wrong so it looked like I was saying it. when i couldnt get on i was crying and in tears and so upset. we had to go to Pc world too get the computer checked. After a while i got back on but it was scary.
PLEASE REMOVE MESSAGE 896 , IT HAS SWEARING IN IT!
Thank you for reporting this to me Jodie. I've removed the comment and the writer from the site. Now there is a "Report to administrator" link beneath each comment to make this easier. Cheers!

hey L.J. i just wanted to say that you really inspire me! and its because of your books that i started writing my own! i hope that i can publish my book someday. i guess the first step is finishing it! haha. well thank you L.J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I just finished Midnight and I cried my head off. L Jane Smith please make another book. When it ended like that I was all shocked. N poor Elena and Stefan please make them get back together. N when Damon told Elena no one was Alone I CRIED. Please make another book and I did love Midnight it was really good. I hated when Elena's wings were cutoff. Crap I was upset. Please make another book and Email me back. but if u do i will
It's not that L.J. won't write another Vampire Diaries, it's that she can't. The series was taken away from her by her publisher. Someone else will be writing the series. Phantom, the next book, comes out in October.
I'm sorry to bring this up agian but maybe you could do a fan fic of the vampire diaries like other people have sugested because i dont think they can do any thing to from making a fan fic sine your not taking credit

Hiyah! lj smith , i have noticed u havent been posting comments for alot of guest books. R u to busy? i gonna make this comment as long as possible so u notice it! Question time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have to be in a moood for writing or do you just sit infrount of your computer and thoughts come to you? How do you come up for the names of your characters? Who is your favourite character that you have created? who is your favourite author?
My favourite night world couple are rashel and quinn! Can you write more online stories about them!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im a delena fan allllllllllll the way!
Are you going to write more books in the night of the solice series, cause i think they could go on a quest finding all of the other gems.
this is where the long part happens could you please please please please please please please please please answer my questions!
why are the publishers taking LJ's Vampire Diaries??? that is so unfair ... NO ONE can write the rest of the books except for her.. she has to finish them.. im not going to read them if she doesnt finish them..
i am personally a delena fan... i love the chemistry between damon and elena.. i love damon.. he's so daring and i can see why elena loves him.. i think damon and elena should be together instead of stefan and elena.. its so obvious elena loves damon more.. sorry to the stelena fans.. i just love DELENA

Jodie2011-04-16 11:06
OMGGGGGGGGGG I just finished reading jez and morgheads night out and i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please write more online stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its wierd cause i first watched TVD on tv so my image of damon is of ian somerhalder and stefan paul weasly ect. But all the other series ive just read the books and when i see a picture of what the characters are ment to look like im like "thats not them!" but i couldnt tell you what they look like anyway. PLEASE NEVER STOP WRITING BOOKS, EVEN WHEN YOUR 100! ALL YOUR FANS WILL READ YOUR BOOKS FOREVER. WRITE MORE ONLINE STORIES( PLEASE ADD MORE OF RASHEL AND QUINN AND JEZ AND MORGHEAD)
i love your books. Seriously! i dont know what id do without them . I get all excited thinking about them and when i realise there not real my heart sinks. I hate having to live in a world were your books arent real. I hope that when i go to heaven your books will be real up there As ive sad before NEVER STOP WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As of right now, I think you're the most evil genius to have ever writen a book. This book! I don't even know how to express my love for it. I'm in total awe of it. The ending made me cry so hard! I've never been so attached to a character this much before. I did watch the series before I read the books, but I still loved Damon when I read the books.
I really hope Damon comes back somehow. I wouldn't mind seeing the others as well. You're so amazing! I am so glad I picked up these books, and read them. Thank you for writing such amazing books.
im really sad that you will not be able to continue your books i mean how can they fire you from your own work . I really love your series and i will NOT buy the hunters.Thats stealing what the new author will be doing .
I love bonnie at midnight are pretty sweet and always thinking of others Damon hates him at times for treatment as soon as I get elena it was horrible on his part
I also welcome the book after midnight shadow souls expected to be a book bamon and was not more that 1 time Delena Delena was more significatvo all bamon and unfair
I thought it was just a shadow souls bad move on the part of fans bamon but also midnight love every moment of bonnie and bonnie plus and Damon, but that does not erase everything Delena
she never said he wanted an end Delena if so what I wanted to explore why bamon? She said both Elena and Bonnie had the same opportunity to stay with Damon
Bonnie was the weak point of damon even she was the first person he met in the village for me it is more romantic feelings toward bonnie damon damon than those with elena not be blinded she has said that fought for both if they do not read the message sent to fans bamon had very good plans for the couple
I just finished reading midnight, its so good!!! :). I couldn't have predicted at all how it would go! :D. At one point it had me crying and only a few books/authors have been able to do that!! :). PLEEEEASE CONTINUE IT!!
i am a big fan. i have a couple of the books and i was trying to find a way to find out the order of the books and the names of all of them, i have looked online and i can find some but it doesnt give me an order they are in and it doesnt even have some of the ones i do have. i guess my comment would be is their anyway someone can send me a list so i can read more. thank you L.J. Smith for bringing your books to the world, not sure what i would do without the pleasure of reading your writing everyday.
I've read lots of your books and i think they're all great. I love Vampire Diaries its one of my fav books. i was wondering if Shinichi was ever going to come back in over book. I like his story line i found it very interesting. well me and my mom love your book and cant wait for more

Dustin Keller2011-04-17 20:07
Now over the years I've tried to get into books but normally I just can't make myself... But there is something about the story and characters in the Vampire Diaries that keep me into it. Right now I'm on the hunt for the 1st edition books from 1991. So far I've gotten "The Struggle" Book II and "The Fury" Book II. Now I'm need to get the other 2 books.
The other thing I love about Lisa is that she does this really great Short Stories that fit in somewhere about-st in the stories. And above all she just post them on this site for everyone to download and read anytime they want. Thank you so much Lisa
I must say that I have read and enjoyed all of your books. I even began reading them on their first runs (yes, I'm that old).
I am overjoyed that Vampire Diaries (and soon the Secret Circle) have become television series/movies. But I must say I have impatiently been waiting for Strange Fate for around 13 years now. The suspense is killing me.
So, I'm begging ... please finish it as soon as you possibly can.
Hi, I am from Poland... so I have got lots of errors. I must tell You one more: I love your books ! But in my country ary just the vampire diaries, the seacret circle, dark visions and night word ;( I must to buy new vampire diaries: mindith. Who is writnig new part ?
I'm really sorry if this is a subject which has been covered countless times before and I'm just being really ignorant and missing it, but I can't find Strange Fate anywhere and I can't work out if it's being released soon or already has or what the hell's going on lol. So pleaaaase somebody let me know where I can find it? Going out of my mind at what happens to Jez, Morgead (favourites
Alright, soooo L.J has not even finished writing the book yet so there is no release date. I'm hoping she finishes soon though! I'm dying to know the ending as well. I'm assuming it will be finished soon.
OMG, I just love, love, love all of the books by L.J Smith. She is an amazing author. I just wish that some of the series were a little longer and she had more books.
All I can say is wow...This book was absolutely fantastic, it read like water, so fluid and enchanting. I would love to see a second part to this book, or a pro julian book, where he wins. I loved the book.
Hi! I used to visit your page very often(the old one) and I liked your picture with the Unicorn, and I had the impression that you liked unicorns, but in your new site there isn't one single unicorn(Maybe I haven't find it, if there is one)
i love the night world series! it is awesome! the best part is the undeniable love which the soulmates have. my favourite is The Chosen, because even if they were against each other in the beginning they ended up together! Plus i love it when a bad guy goes good! Just like in her other books in Dark Visions! You're amazing L. J Smith! please keep writing amazing books!

Dear Lisa,
I love your books! You're an amazing author, and my favorite writer! I enjoy The Vampire Diaries, but all your books are wonderful. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has seen the new cover of Phantom? The only reason I know how it looks is because of a blog that I subscribed to, except... It upset me. When I read the email, it angered me as well. At the bottom of the picture cover, it had the information of the story... And the author, which is now a ghost-writer... Oh, now the cover has written "Created by L.J. Smith" It sucks. Bad. If only we (fans) could all do something to change it. I'm, deeply, sorry for bringing the topic up Lisa, but I just had to let someone know how saddened I am about this. Either way Lisa, you are the best author ever! By the way, Midnight was amazing! I loved and enjoyed Midnight very much! The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith is pure bliss of wonder.

Pearl2011-04-18 18:15
First of all I have to say that midnight is my favourite book so far in the series! I have a question though. . . If Elena or anybody else empty's out a kitsunes's starball soes it kill them because I have almost read it and how does soembody control MIaso if they empty out the liquid first? Because they said that Damon had empty half of the liquid but if they emptyied alll the liquid wouldn't that just kill Miaso? But wouldn't they want to control MIaso and jut get her to kill Shinichi and then just pour the rest of the liquid out and then kill Miaso?
0#@Pearl - Answer to your question —
Seif2011-04-19 01:46
If you empty the star ball, Misao will die, but if they use it while it's on the cusp of losing its liquid entirely, Misao will do anything to ensure it stays inside, right? That's what they're depending on.
Hola, Ms. L.J. Smith! I have yet to read Midnightbut today I read a teaser of sorts online on the HarperCollin website. It was AMAZING! I am going tomorrow to the nearest bookstore to purchase this amazing book that is the holy grail of all vampire romance books.. And I'm saying all of this BEFORE I've even finished the book. And, I've just today heard of the atrocity that is going on. How could they DO this to you? What a bunch of fat cats! (I must refrain from calling them something else lest I'm banned from the website.) While I am 100% Stelena, how could you prove that they belong together if Elena didn't have the choice of Damon being dangled in front of her? If she didn't choose Stefan over Damon, then no one could really say that they belong together. The point I'm trying to make is that without throwing in something to shake things up, ie. Damon, how could you prove that Stefan and Elena's love is as strong as stone and as everlasting as time itself? -continues-

LJ Smith is not allowed to write the next vampire diaries books. it will be a ghost writer .... if you read her blog or the old guest books you can get more information. Sorry Kelly, but it will be no more Delena
I hope there is going to be another book in the Vampire Diaries series, it seemed in the very last chapter of the book that there was unfinished business. Don't read this comment unless you have read the last book completely! ... ... But it seems like Damon is still SOMETHING. 'A fist clenched. And something stirred in the brain, a self-revelation. A name. Damon.' Is it his fist that is clenching? Is he still something? A spirit? Did the Guardians feel bad about Elena? Did they decide to try and save Damon after all? Maybe try something else? It can't be finished like this, surely? It feels like hope, in the last chapter. I HOPE there is another book, they are brilliant. xxx
First off, I gotta say I'm a HUGE fan, I LOVE your writing and the characters you write about. I aspire to be an author some day and you are my inspiration! I love your books! Secondly, what's this about your publisher taking rights off you for Vampire Diaries or something? Could someone please clear that up for me? :') I don't know what's going on haha! Thirdly, people are saying you're ill? :( What's wrong? I hope you get better very soon and I'm sorry to hear this!

Z Barnes2011-04-21 08:30
Hello, I am a huge fan of your books and loved everyone of your series. I was just wondering when Strange Fate was going to be released because on many websties the date is unknown or they show various dates as far as Febuary 2014.I just wanted to know the definite date, thank you.
I really love your books, but I'm shocked that Midnight will be the last VD book written by you.. I know you don't want us to boycott the "new" books, but I think, this won't be THE books^^ it's not written by the "founder" , the ghost writer don't know the characters like you do.. I'm sad so Midnight will be the last book I read of the Vampire Diaries (
ok here it is im reading the night world books and iam done book 1 i was hopeing if at some point in the rest of the books u dawn on the chacters in number one i guess what im saying is dose ur books carry on to the next or are thet all differment stories because im started book 2 and it is differment please help me some one
the night world book series is stories about soulmates in the night world and how they found each other while you may meet some of the characters from book 1 in book2 they dont continue theyre story so i guess my point is theyre different stories
Hey Lisa! :) I must say, I'm a big fan of both your books, and the TV show. I was wondering, if you have seen it - what do you think of their take on Klaus? The actor, I mean. Does he look the part? :) I know it's not exactly like in the books, but what do YOU think of it?
L.J. I absolutely love all of your books. I just recently finished Midnight and it kept me on the edge throughout the entire novel. I have to say that some books I have read are predictable in the storyline, but whenever I see that another book of yours is published a thrill of anticipation goes through me. Your books are always exciting and filled with suspense and mystery, they always capture my attention. Please keep the adventures coming, they are wonderful and a sort of addiction of mine.

Hello im a 35yr woman and I ran into this book it has got me hooked so far, im already looking for the next two but all I seem to find are the vampire diaries if you can help me without makeing an online purchase like maybe a discount bookstore I would really love that
OMGGGGGGG I LOVE YOUR BOOKS! ALL OF THEM I am a hugeeee fannn! I especially love the vampire diaries (both the books and the show)! and i also love the night world series
I just finished Midnight and it was incredible! I cried so much when Damon died. I wish Damon ended up with Bonnie, I think they would be good together. I love the series but the only thing I didn't like was EVERYONE was in love with Elena. She belongs with Stefan and I hated that kept cheating on him with Damon. I started to dislike Elena a little. I loved reading more about Damon and Bonnie though. I am excited for the sereies to continue but I don't understand why you are no longer writing them!! Is there anyway that will change? I hope so... Thank you so much for writing such an incredible series!
I cried! I am not usually one to cry but I cried! I cried when I read and finished reading midnight. I started to read the vampire diaries series before it became a show, so I like to think of an original fan who liked your books before the show. I have read the books over and over and over and I am not tired of the books, and I doubt I will ever get tired of your books! I also have a lot more of your books and love them! I am so upset that the vampire diaries are over! I really wish you would keep writing them! They are foolish and stupid to make you stop writing..I am so angry! You are my favourite author ever! My dream is to one day meet you and ask you all about your writing, you inspired me to become a writer and thankyou for that! I am never going to stop wondering what happens after the last vampire diaries book! I aslo want to wish you luck with your health problems and hope you get better! You are my inspiration and I am so glad that I read your books. Thankyou! :)
so First i wanna say that this is an amazing series and hen i first read it i couldn't put it down. I devoured it in around 5 days or so! also when is Strange Fate coming out? because i'm so excited i can't stop jumping up and down! whoops, my mom just gave me a 'are you insane' look one more thing: who are your favorite authors?
dear mrs smith, i am a big fan of yours. could you please tell us all what you had planned out for the next parts of the book series? what happened to damon? did he get elena or bonnie? please do teel us as only you know what happens next. we are dying to know! even a summary would do.
First of all I really hope your healt is better now...
Finished reading Midnight today and I just can't get over the fact that it's the last book of the serie,I know about The Hunters, but for me Midnight is the oficial ending :( I'm happy cuz at least u got to finish Midnight, but sad cuz there is still so much to write about every body in the VD world...Anyhow, I want to really thank you for the moments u give me with ur beautiful books...B Happy Always and God Bless U.
I first discovered your books about 2 years ago. Started reading the first 3 books in the Night World series and then Dar Visions and now The Forbidden Game. When I first finished the Night World series the release date for Strage Fate was said to be April 2010, and then it said April 2011. Now five days ago when I checked the release date it said May 3rd, and now this morning I checked again and it says October 20th. I don't understand why it is that the dates keep changing? I am a big fan of the series but have grown tired of the wait.
Why is HarperCollins so stupid!? You are such an amazing author! The vampire diaries is my all time favourite books! I cried during the last book! You write so passionate and so real, its hard not to cry over what happened! I am not going to be able to stop thinking ever about what will happen next! I know HaperCollins is going to get a ghost writer to finish the vampire diaries but i will not read them! You are the only author for me when it comes to the vampire diaries! I love your writing! You are my favourite author of all time, and that will never change. My dream is to one day meet you and talk to you about your writing and everything. I have a lot of your other books you have also written. I just need to get Secret Circle seires. My favourite books you wrote though is Vampire Diaries. I like to think of myself as an orignal fan because i read the books before it became a show! :) I have reread the books a dozen times! I am your biggest fan! Thankyou for writing! Feel better btw!

Melissa2011-04-24 08:53
I must say that I'm a big fan of the vampire diaries. It has takin' some time to read all the books, one reason is becuse I live in Finland and like to read them in swedish and two, I read the last three books in english. I love Elenas charatcer, she is so interesting to read about. And I can't leave out Merdith, her intelligent but silent way of being, she reminds me of Athos (the three musketeers). It really sucks that she is not in the tvseries. :( Im in the contests, are you? :) Blessed be, Melissa.

I don't know how to begin, I L O V E L O V E L O V E your work! But is this really the last from The Vampire Diaries? I don't get that, it sounded so much in the book like there would atleast be one more book. So please answer, one of the many who have asked, because I need to know! I really don't want it to be the end yet! not yet, please not yet.
When i read the end of the book (after crying for a full 2 hours then realizing i cried over nothing... -___- ) i felt the same way! I sound like there should be at least one more book or at least a little companion book to go along with it !!! I really wish this isn't the end!

Jasmijn2011-04-25 16:03
Wow, that's unthoughtful...... Really! People! Start reading the previous messages!! That way you won't say something as stupid as this or keep repeating yourself that L.J. Smith got fired and why. This may sound kind of rude but it isn't nice for Ms. Smith to keep repeating herself either....
That was probably an innocent mistake Jasmijn. There have been posts lately on the internet of the cover for the new book and it says by the creators of vampire diaries l.j smith! You cant expect someone to go sifting through this blog or all the posts for every little bit of info. I dont mean to be disrespectful at all just making a point
I just finished Midnight 5minutes ago and I loved it sooo...much!I even cried with Damon.I think it was a wonderful ending and its got me wanting more!I think Bonnie and Damon should be together even though they dont know it yet.Thanks for all the wonderful stories they really help me keep my mind off the pain I go thru everyday due to my 3 back sugerys. So I pray you continue to write!!
+2#Can't something be done? —
Jessica Orey2011-04-25 18:14
Can't we, as fans, do anything to help out the Vampire Diaries situation? Petitions, boycott? ANYTHING??? I mean I know we could just read the new (but fake) books, but it's just not right. There are probably millions of fans who want to see LJ write her own arc in Vampire Diaries. What should we do?
For Daughters of Darkness I know Rowan is the oldest and Jade is the youngest but what about Ash and Kestrel? Are they twins? If so which one came first?
Just want to say I've been reading your books for 20 years (GASP!) I still get completely lost in your stories and look forward to every new book. I just reread the entire Night World Series, all of the Vampire Diaries and The Forbidden Game. As soon as I can get The Secret Circle on my Nook, I'll be rereading it as well. I just wanted to say I love your stories!
Has it ever definitively been said who's on the cover of Midnight? (Please, fellow fans, don't post dozens of your theories. I'm a fan too, and I've heard them all!) I know the three top contenders tend to be Caroline, Jessalyn, and Bonnie, but I thought LJS had told us who it was at some point?>
+1#RE: Cover of Midnight —
Sabrina2011-04-26 13:41
I don't remember her ever telling us who was on the cover, but I can tell you that it isn't Bonnie, because she has brown eyes. And it's not Caroline either, since she didn't have a really important role in this book. I think it may have been either Jessalyn (since she made Damon back into a vampire), or Iona, the Guardian. She was pretty important too.
0#RE: RE: Cover of Midnight —
Cammy2011-04-28 08:06
I agree with you. And I dont think bonnie would wear that type of lipstick that the girl had on. I think it is Jessalyn since she isnt wearing that headband with the stone on it like lona wears. And the girl sorta looks like a vampire to lol.
omg i luv the night world series and i am so waiting for strange fate to come out! i cannot wait!! i think L J. is a beautiful writer sand she captures the feelings and personality of her characters perfectly!! my fav characters have to be ash, quin, and rashel
I just finished reading the Midnight. This Book was really amazing, I cried my eyes out when I read that DAMON dies.... and I was like there's no way that he is not coming back to live. But He DOES.... I wish I could run to the Store and pick up the next book!!!
Hey Lj Smith im a fan! I really loved reading dark visions it was a great book. I would love if you made a squeal ora movie Im inlove with gabriel and im obsesse with all your books. Your an Outstanding Author and I love you so can you please answer my question as soon as possible? Thank you soo much!
+1#Covers of Midnight & Phantom —
Lacey2011-04-27 01:18
I was also wondering about who thats supposed to be on the cover of Midnight, I agree that I dont think its Bonnie, but if its supposed to be Jesslyn or the guardian that doesnt really make sense to me either because they arent important characters??? All the other covers had Damon, Stefan or Elena. It would make more sense if it were Bonnie,she is ofcourse a VERY important character especially in Midnight. & if anyone has seen the released cover of Phantom, does anyone know who thats supposed to be?
0#RE: Covers of Midnight & Phantom —
Cammy2011-04-28 08:02
I think it is Jesslyn because she was sorta important since she "HELPED" Damon out (dont want to give any spoilers for people who havent read it!)And she has that dark red lipstick type stuff on so..... and she didnt have the headband with the stone on it type thing. she wasnt wearing that. so.... I think it might be her.
+1#the answer to your question —
!Pamela2011-04-29 01:56
ON THE COVER OF MIDNIGHT EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT MAKE TOO MUCH SENSE IT IS JESSLYN,LOOK AT THE COLOR OF THE EYES!, AS FOR WHY IT WOULD B HER ON THE COVER WHO KNOWS MAYB SHE WAS SOMEHOW SUPPOSSED TO BE AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER LATER ON!!!
It is Jessalyn, isn't it?! I knew it.. I had a small feeling it was Inari later on, but I realised it looks EXACTLY like Jessalyn. Anyways, I have the UK cover!!!
HEY, I'd just like to say that I think everyone here should sign this petition saying that LJ Smith should continue her series. It will help a lot!

I wanted to say I look forward to reading this book. I started waiting 15 years ago, heard a rumor you had died, and was so happy when I found out five years ago that you were still alive! I am still happy you are alive. So if I am still waiting for the book to come out in 5 years, as long as you take care of yourself, I'll be pretty darn happy! When B&N; ships me my copy of Strange Fate, however, that book gets the "show off" spot atop my bookshelf! *ear to ear grin*
I have been an avid fan since I was eleven, falling asleep in B&N; because it was the only place to sleep. We have each had our own hard times. I wanted to say that I'm so proud of you! Breathe. play. love. rest. Oh, and I am currently re-collecting all of the books that I lost to a family member's misguided donating of my collection a decade or so ago. Someday, I hope to have all original covers. Best thoughts and appreciation are with you!
Like a lot of people, I read the Night World series about 12 years ago and so have been waiting that long for Strange Fate. And I'm sure everyone who has read those books realizes too that the millenium is faaaaaar over. But the fact that L.J. is finally going to get Strange Fate out means that she had a fun oportunity to change the millenium to something just as dramatic. I may not like the fact that the book's release date keeps getting pushed back but that keeps me holding on. While I wait I keep re-reading the whole Night World series which is still, and always will be, good and one of my favorite book series. Not to mention fanfictions make the wait even more fun. Take as long as you need L.J., I'll wait another 12 years if I have to, just make sure that the finished product is what you like.
I READ THE NIGHT WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME LIKE A YEAR OR SO AGO. I WENT TO LOOK FOR THE LAST BOOK IN THE SERIES AND WAS CONFUSED BEACAUSE I SEEN ALL THESE DIFFERENT RELEASE DATES SAYING IT SHOULD BE OUT ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WASNT GOING TO FOR ANOTHER COUPLE MONTHS OR SO AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THEY CHANGED THE RELEASE DATE, JUST AS I AM AGAIN AFTER HAVING READ THE BOOKS ALL OVER AGAIN MYSELF! IVE ALWAYS LOVED TO READ TO ME ITS LIKE AN ESCAPE INTO ANOTHER WORLD THAT THE WRITER HAS CREATED FOR YOU AND I HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO STOP READING I JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN AND HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT,BUT TO HAVE TO WAIT OVER 12 YEARS ANTICIPATING IT WOULD BE TORTURE! THEN AGAIN AFTER THE STORY ENDS I ADMIT I GET SAD CAUSE ITS JUST LIKE MY ESCAPE IN MY TEMPORARY WORLD HAS JUST ENDED EVEN THO I WISHED THE BOOKS WOULD NEVER HAVE TO END. SO EVEN THO ITS BITTER SWEET TO READ THE END TO AN AWSOME SERIRIES OF BOOKS I STILL WANNA KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
I just really want to know two things. Will be in the new book ,,Phantom" Bonnie, Meredith and Damon(he was dead in Midnight) or only Elena and Stefano? I really prefer to Damon be with Bonnie. Who will write this book? I hear that Ljane Smith won't write ,,Phantom". Is that true?! Mrs Smith you have to write this books! They are great! You are my best writer! Don't give up! Write more the Vampire Diaries! (I want more Bamon). Sorry for mistakes, but I am from Poland...
Why does she keep changing the date for the new release date for strange fate???!!!!!????
Let's get this right for one last time: PUBLISHER SETS THE DATE AND CHANGES THEM ON BOOK RELEASES! Do us all a favor and read the "Guestbook Policy" before you comment.
Not sure if the new release date was already announced since I'm quite far behind on this sort of thing, but when is it now? I gotta say, as much as the new new release dates confuse me, I'm very excited for it to come out. I love rashel would like to see more of her and more of Keller. Hoping I see them!
I just wanted to say thank-you for your wonderful books. you have inspired ALOT of people even me to write. I am now writeing 7 stories. or atleast trying to! You are a author of many talents and inspireing people is one of them! I love your books. I am a big fan.And I hope to read more! Midnight was wonderful! and I dont think ANYONE could write a better vampire Diaries series than you. I hope you feel better about all of this. And congrats on Midnight. You deserved the award.
I went to the B&N; site and pre-odered Stranse Fate for April 27,2011... guess what it was once again cancelled! So I must ask.... are you really working on this book or have you given up on it? Many of us have been waiting for A LONG TIME and love the Night World series but I was just wondering if you have any clue when the TRUE release date will be? It has been changed, again, to February 1,2014! Love these books but are we ever going to get an ending?!?!?
If you can I am just wondering. Can you tell us what would have happend if you were able to finish the vampire diaries books what would have happend in them? like what plans did you have for are beloved characters? if you can tell us I would be very greatful.
If you look back in guest book 9, I asked a very long, thorough version of this question and got no answer. I would truly appreciate an answer, as much as all of your other fans would~

Administrator2011-04-28 15:09
As you can imagine, Lisa does not have time to answer every single question that is being asked here in the Guestbook. Answering questions that come up here can seriously be a full time job for someone but Lisa needs to devote much of her time to writing books that fans enjoy so much. If she happened to answered your question then you should consider yourself lucky. If she did not, then do not take it too personal, less time spent here means she is busy writing and the book that you want to read will be published that much sooner.
That is fine by me. Besides I thought the idea of this thing was for her fans to answer eachother. Some things we will not know but usually the other fans can answer my questions. But it really is fun when she answers them. I do not mind though, as long as she keeps writing stories I'm good.
Precisely my point Lawren. Fans are interacting with each other already and that is great to see and encouraged. Replies coming back from Lisa in her very busy schedule is a privilege, not a right.
I completely understand what you are saying. When I left this comment I hadn't read too much of they guest books. In the first few guest books, it seemed like L.J. had answered a lot of questions, by that time it was already up to guest book 8. So I decided not to read all of them and just post my question. What I did not realize is that suddenly she was able to answer all of the questions because it was very time consuming. I was just curious. I don't want this too be taken negatively. And for the record, I never said it was a right, nor do I think of it like that. I just know that from the people I have talked to this is the question they ask me, as do people here on this website. To me, i feel like it is a popular question, that is all. ~Maisie
Hi, first i want to say that i LOVE Vampire Diaries and Midnight was an amazing book with a great ending!I was on the edge of my seat! And i LOVE Damon! In my opinion, i think Elena and Damon should definitely be together! But my real question is: will there for sure be a trilogy after Midnight? And if so, why are you not writing it? I am very sorry to hear about your health problems and i hope you are okay! Thank you for creating the great books!

Jessica2011-04-28 19:33
I just read an article that said you have been kicked out of writing your own VD books and I wanted to know if it was true. I only seen it on the one website and no where else so I wasn't sure.
I love your books, particularly the last one. One could dip into this story, con-fevers, waited on the next volume, then, like it now to know goes on. Was not conscious that this would be the last when yet I bought the last volume. The end .... wow! I would too like further like it only to go to learn became, like you imagine it, it is finally your history! It isn't to destroy your work fairly so that makes me very sadly. By chance I found a petition for all fans in the net everyone but also really everyone should sign. It is your history at all readers from the publishing house it is then deceit as she would always end, too for 2 reasons, into first Lienie! Because it will never be TVD again without you! I take the liberty of adjusting the link here http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ljsmith/
I am not i big fan of vampires as i think at the moment they have over-shadowed every other genre/mythical creature. But I love the night world and secret circle and i couldn't see it anywhere on google. But is there any idea of when the new secret circle is coming out? I LOVE your books :)
I have a question. How do I read L.J's stories she has on this website? it says download to PDF? what is that? and how can I be able to read them. If anyone could answer I would be greatful.
Hiyah! I'd just like to say did anybody see the royal wedding? It got me thinking almost all of lj smiths charachters , i cant imagine them marring each other. There soulmates i know but i just cant imagine it. Maybe Hannah and theiry could get married but other than that.......... PS Please add more comments lj smith. I know ur busy but please try.!!!
Yeah, I saw most of it. But I can imagine the characters getting married. Well, most at least. Cuz I really can't see Damon, Quinn, Morgead, or Keller at a Wedding...
I felt sooo honored to have L.J Smith read my fanfiction and give me some good constructive criticism... She is such a good writer and I really enjoy her books. I wish that Strange Fate would come out soon but ah well! I will just have to sit and wait and I'm okay with that. While I do that, I will just be rereading Night World since its amazing. For some reason I could not finish Vampire Diaries. It's probably because it made me so mad...I love Damon and I feel like he's always getting the short end of the straw. I wish he would get with Bonnie already haha. I was glad in the 3rd volume, I think it was, that we got a little insight into Damon's world...made me really take a good look at him. Anyway, love L.J Smith and I will be back repeatedly to visit the site whenever I can
Let me first sat that you are one of my favorite authors. I love your Nightworld series, and I was wondering when the 10 th installment would becoming out. I understand that some books need to be pushed back sometimes, but lately I have been hearing that it is being published in 2014. If this is true I was wondering why, if anyone can answer this question it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
So i realize you won't be doing Vampire Diaries anymore, but you keep saying that you just won't be writing them yourself. Does that mean someone else will continue them? If so, i'd really like to know who. But you'll still be a much better writer, no one can replace you. I'm absolutely in love with the Vampire Diaries and a huge Stelena fan. But i'm sorry to hear you got fired, but i'm thinking of reading some of your other books. Please, keep us informed if someone else is continuing Vampire Diaries. Thanks, & lots of love, Danielle (:
Hey, I'm a huge fan of vampire diaries and I was wondering if anyone else is continuing vampire diaries, like a different author? I realize no one can ever replace you, and your a very talented writer, but I'm so confused over the ending of midnight. I need to know what happens! If you know who the author(if there is one), I'd really be interested to know who they are. Otherwise, I'd just like to say I love your books and i'm a Stelena fan for life!

I really love all of your books, especially the vampire diaries.
I'm really sad to hear that you are no longer allowed to write the vampire diaries. Even though SOME of your writing will be in Phantom, i will not be buying it. It will not be the same without it fully being yours....You are truly an amazing writer! Don't ever forget that. Your fans are here and we love you! Please continue your other series!
hi just wanted to to say that your website is awsome and that when the H1n1 was happening I was reading Dark vivions and it helped me get though the week in bed rest. I loved it and is just re reading it now
Comments
In regards to NW.. Jez in Huntress is called a freak 'cause she is 1/2 Vampire 1/2 Human, but I was thinking, in Soulmate, when you get a better insite in2 how Maya turned Thierry into a Vampire, Maya says to him something along the lines of.. I will have a son (Red Fern) who will be like me, he will not be your's as once I turn you, you will not be able to procreate.. I was thinking, isn't Red fern 1/2 human 1/2 vampire also as Maya is the only 'original' Vampire, or did she get a male to do the same spell that turned her therefore making her son 'pure blood'?! It's somethin I've been thinkin 'bout.. but sometimes I do over-think things
Again I love your books & cannot wait for Strange Fate to come out! Blessed Be
Jez, however is the child of a human and a vampire--someth ing that was thought impossible.
I finished Midnight last night!!!!
IT WAS SO GOOD!
The ending was BEAUTIFUL!
*SPOILER ALERT!!*
I am so glad Elena lives with J**i** and *a*g**e* again!!!
And the last chapter!!!!
AND WHEN ELENA ALMOST FROZE TO DEATH!
LJ, Bonnie was beautiful in this one! She has such a pure soul, it makes me fall in love with her more every page (You've created every girl's fantasy with Damon, and every guy's with Bonnie. I'm hopelessly in love with her).
My country, Egypt, is going through very difficult times - what with the revolution and all - and I am so glad I found an escape.
Very sad you won't be continuing your series, but I'm glad the ending is wonderful; I won't be reading the The Hunters trilogy, you see.
Very sorry about your illness.
Warmest love and hugs
love bonnie and damon
Hey, no spoilers (aka don't give away what happenes). Some of us haven't read it yet! And some people won't read books if they know the ending. So, you could hurt Lisa's sales!
I just read Midnight.....an d I loved so very much!! The ending was beautiful....an d I cried the whole time!! I know that this was your last book.....so I won't read the next books called The Hunters. I know that in the end of the book Elena stays with Stefan....but for me the only one that she truly loved was Damon...thats my opinion....and I have to say that I got sad because of the end of the story. Because for me the love between Elena and Damon was so deep and truly pure. And I think that her and Stefan never had that kinda of love.....but I love your book.....in my opinion is THE BEST of all your books...!!
P.S: I'm from Brazil so I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong.
Thanks LJ I love you work!
1) the characters won't be the same, they'll have a differant personality
2) nobody else has your creative mind, it just won't be the same
3) I hope you get better,I read in your blog that you're feeling a little sick;(
"Please don't let it be true"
http://www.petitiononline.com/ljsmith/petition.html
Your name may do a difference!!!
and i no u were born with that nme try tllin ma friends though theyre impossible
So cool.
That must have been amazing to have seen that coincidence in the nineties..
Anyway, I'm so glad you will boycott. I refuse to read The Hunters.
It will destroy:
1) Bonnie's importance
2) Damon's chance at having Elena
3) The High Fantasy element (Dark Dimension, etc)
4) The Characters' personalities! These are LJ's characters! How dare they assume they can manipulate them as they wish?!?!?!?!
Awesome name. =P
Sorry to break the (pretty old) news, but our dear LJ Smith will not be writing the new arc.
LJ won't be writing the The Hunters trilogy...
I'm sorry...
x'(
It will be lying to say that I love The Vampire diaries, because my admiration to all her books is stronger than love!!
So please, I know that Lisa doesn't want us to fight, but as Damon we don't have to leave the party without fighting!!!
Therefore, sign for this petition!!!

Do you have to be in a moood for writing or do you just sit infrount of your computer and thoughts come to you?
How do you come up for the names of your characters?
Who is your favourite character that you have created?
who is your favourite author?
My favourite night world couple are rashel and quinn! Can you write more online stories about them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im a delena fan allllllllllll the way!
Are you going to write more books in the night of the solice series, cause i think they could go on a quest finding all of the other gems.
this is where the long part happens could you please please please please please please please please please
answer my questions!
NO ONE can write the rest of the books except for her.. she has to finish them..
im not going to read them if she doesnt finish them..
i think damon and elena should be together instead of stefan and elena..
its so obvious elena loves damon more..
sorry to the stelena fans.. i just love DELENA
I just finished reading jez and morgheads night out and i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! please write more online stories!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Its wierd cause i first watched TVD on tv so my image of damon is of ian somerhalder and stefan paul weasly ect. But all the other series ive just read the books and when i see a picture of what the characters are ment to look like im like "thats not them!" but i couldnt tell you what they look like anyway.
I really hope Damon comes back somehow. I wouldn't mind seeing the others as well. You're so amazing! I am so glad I picked up these books, and read them. Thank you for writing such amazing books.
everyone plz sign this so L.J Smith can continue her books IF YOR A TRUE FAN YOU WILL! we need her to continue the books not the ghost writer .
Damon hates him at times for treatment as soon as I get elena it was horrible on his part
I also welcome the book after midnight shadow souls expected to be a book bamon and was not more that 1 time Delena Delena was more significatvo all bamon and unfair
I thought it was just a shadow souls bad move on the part of fans bamon but also midnight
love every moment of bonnie and bonnie plus and Damon, but that does not erase everything Delena
losiento but it was a bit disappointing
if so what I wanted to explore why bamon?
She said both Elena and Bonnie had the same opportunity to stay with Damon
Bonnie was the weak point of damon
even she was the first person he met in the village
for me it is more romantic feelings toward bonnie damon damon than those with elena
not be blinded she has said that fought for both if they do not read the message sent to fans bamon had very good plans for the couple
its one of my fav books.
i was wondering if Shinichi was ever going to come back in over book. I like his story line i found it very interesting.
well me and my mom love your book and cant wait for more
The other thing I love about Lisa is that she does this really great Short Stories that fit in somewhere about-st in the stories. And above all she just post them on this site for everyone to download and read anytime they want. Thank you so much Lisa
I am overjoyed that Vampire Diaries (and soon the Secret Circle) have become television series/movies. But I must say I have impatiently been waiting for Strange Fate for around 13 years now. The suspense is killing me.
So, I'm begging ... please finish it as soon as you possibly can.
Love you. Mean it.
P.S. i wait for the day for you to write to me.
maybe he can come back to life again?
I used to visit your page very often(the old one) and I liked your picture with the Unicorn, and I had the impression that you liked unicorns, but in your new site there isn't one single unicorn(Maybe I haven't find it, if there is one)
Sorry for my english, is not my mother tongue...
You're amazing L. J Smith! please keep writing amazing books!
I love your books! You're an amazing author, and my favorite writer! I enjoy The Vampire Diaries, but all your books are wonderful.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has seen the new cover of Phantom?
The only reason I know how it looks is because of a blog that I subscribed to, except... It upset me. When I read the email, it angered me as well. At the bottom of the picture cover, it had the information of the story... And the author, which is now a ghost-writer... Oh, now the cover has written "Created by L.J. Smith" It sucks. Bad. If only we (fans) could all do something to change it. I'm, deeply, sorry for bringing the topic up Lisa, but I just had to let someone know how saddened I am about this. Either way Lisa, you are the best author ever! By the way, Midnight was amazing! I loved and enjoyed Midnight very much! The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith is pure bliss of wonder.

That's what they're depending on.
^ ur sik??
Midnight was awesome but please tell me this is not the end... tell me you're going to write a next book with Damon going back to Mystic Falls to keep his promis of helping her free the slaved in the Dark Dimension.... I can't have enough of Delena... I would be sooooooo sad if this were your last book of the series.
Kind regards,
Kelly
LJ Smith is not allowed to write the next vampire diaries books. it will be a ghost writer .... if you read her blog or the old guest books you can get more information.
Sorry Kelly, but it will be no more Delena
...

But it seems like Damon is still SOMETHING. 'A fist clenched. And something stirred in the brain, a self-revelation . A name. Damon.' Is it his fist that is clenching? Is he still something? A spirit? Did the Guardians feel bad about Elena? Did they decide to try and save Damon after all? Maybe try something else?
It can't be finished like this, surely? It feels like hope, in the last chapter. I HOPE there is another book, they are brilliant.

Secondly, what's this about your publisher taking rights off you for Vampire Diaries or something? Could someone please clear that up for me? :') I don't know what's going on haha!
Thirdly, people are saying you're ill? :( What's wrong? I hope you get better very soon and I'm sorry to hear this!
Much love :)
Love you :) Stay strong.
Claudia.
You're a magnificent writer!

Sincerely
Jacqueline
vampire diaries (both the books and the show)! and i also love the night world series
i am a big fan of yours. could you please tell us all what you had planned out for the next parts of the book series?
what happened to damon? did he get elena or bonnie?
please do teel us as only you know what happens next. we are dying to know! even a summary would do.
Finished reading Midnight today and I just can't get over the fact that it's the last book of the serie,I know about The Hunters, but for me Midnight is the oficial ending :( I'm happy cuz at least u got to finish Midnight, but sad cuz there is still so much to write about every body in the VD world...Anyhow, I want to really thank you for the moments u give me with ur beautiful books...B Happy Always and God Bless U.
I love Elenas charatcer, she is so interesting to read about. And I can't leave out Merdith, her intelligent but silent way of being, she reminds me of Athos (the three musketeers). It really sucks that she is not in the tvseries. :( Im in the contests, are you? :) Blessed be, Melissa.
But is this really the last from The Vampire Diaries? I don't get that, it sounded so much in the book like there would atleast be one more book.
So please answer, one of the many who have asked, because I need to know! I really don't want it to be the end yet! not yet, please not yet.
I'm so excited! And happy it comes out in October cause that is the month of my birthday! Can't wait! Thank you!
From your fan,
Angelica
Really! People! Start reading the previous messages!! That way you won't say something as stupid as this or keep repeating yourself that L.J. Smith got fired and why. This may sound kind of rude but it isn't nice for Ms. Smith to keep repeating herself either....
Sorry if I could tell you a straight answer.
i cannot wait!!
i think L J. is a beautiful writer sand she captures the feelings and personality of her characters perfectly!!
my fav characters have to be ash, quin, and rashel
Anyways, I have the UK cover!!!
---> http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/let-lj-smith-write-the-vampire-diaries-the-way-she-wants-to/
signed it! :)
I really prefer to Damon be with Bonnie.
Who will write this book? I hear that Ljane Smith won't write ,,Phantom". Is that true?!
Mrs Smith you have to write this books! They are great! You are my best writer!
Don't give up! Write more the Vampire Diaries! (I want more Bamon).
Sorry for mistakes, but I am from Poland...
Let's get this right for one last time: PUBLISHER SETS THE DATE AND CHANGES THEM ON BOOK RELEASES! Do us all a favor and read the "Guestbook Policy" before you comment.
I am very sorry to hear about your health problems and i hope you are okay! Thank you for creating the great books!
Keep up the good work.
I would too like further like it only to go to learn became, like you imagine it, it is finally your history!
It isn't to destroy your work fairly so that makes me very sadly. By chance I found a petition for all fans in the net everyone but also really everyone should sign. It is your history at all readers from the publishing house it is then deceit as she would always end, too for 2 reasons, into first Lienie! Because it will never be TVD again without you! I take the liberty of adjusting the link here

PS Please add more comments lj smith. I know ur busy but please try.!!!
If so, i'd really like to know who.
But you'll still be a much better writer, no one can replace you. I'm absolutely in love with the Vampire Diaries and a huge Stelena fan.
But i'm sorry to hear you got fired, but i'm thinking of reading some of your other books.
Please, keep us informed if someone else is continuing Vampire Diaries.
Thanks, & lots of love,
Danielle (:
I realize no one can ever replace you, and your a very talented writer, but I'm so confused over the ending of midnight.
I need to know what happens!
If you know who the author(if there is one), I'd really be interested to know who they are.
Otherwise, I'd just like to say I love your books and i'm a Stelena fan for life!
Thanks, and lot of love,
Danielle
i believe that it is Jessalyn, the girl who turns Damon back into a vampire. at least on the american cover.
hope that helped!!
The next competition sounds amazing!! I really cannot wait till it opens :') EEK! Teehee Those prizes look awesomely epic... aww theyre just so beautiful! The winners will be so lucky!
Teeehee I'm so excited now!
Good luck to everyone!!
Thank you so much for everything, You're AWESOME!
I'm really sad to hear that you are no longer allowed to write the vampire diaries. Even though SOME of your writing will be in Phantom, i will not be buying it.
Again, we love you!
