There will NOT be a new fan fiction challenge starting in January.  We are changing up the way the challenges will be done and need some time to prepare for the first one.  We’re really excited about our new challenges and look forward to reading your entries.

We challenged you to write a story about one of the nomad vampires that comes to help the Cullens during Breaking Dawn.  Now it’s time to post the entries and vote!  There are three entries for this challenge and voting is open until 11:59PM on January 15.

We’ve posted our 2011 Twilight Wallpaper Calendars over on our sister site, Novel Novice.  Go check them out!  Which one is your favorite?

Here’s a peek at January’s:

Yesterday, on Christmas Eve, Bill Condon tweeted a holiday gift for Twilight fans, much like he did at Thanksgiving.

I love that there are four stockings — Charlie, Bella, Edward, and a small one for Renesmee!

From all of us at Novel Novice Twilight, we hope you have a happy and safe holiday and New Year’s.

I realize Halloween has long since come and gone, but I promised to share this year’s Twilight Pumpkins and just realized I never did!

Having a new baby in the house made it difficult to do a lot of carving this year, so I only have a couple:

Bella and Edward from New Moon:

Pattern from The Pumpkin Wizard

Jasper from New Moon:

Pattern from Ultimate Pumpkin Stencils

Eclipse poster:

Does Twilight inspire any decorations for the holidays you celebrate?  Let us know, and show us pictures!

Here are the winners for the First Day of School challenge.  And don’t forget, the We’re Not Vegetarians challenge is open for submissions until 12/31.

All winning authors get to proudly display this banner with their stories:

Eclipse comes out on DVD today in the United States!  As I understand it, some countries have already gotten their DVDs (lucky!).

Did you decide which version you’re getting?  Are you getting more than one?  In case you missed it the first time, check out our Eclipse DVD Guide and make sure you know your options.

Did you buy the Exclusive Borders sets Twilight and New Moon?  If you want Eclipse to match, look for the Target Collector’s Edition.

What are you getting? Did you go to a midnight release party last night?
