Stephenie Meyer Writes Gender-Swapped 'Twilight': Meet Beau and Edythe
Good news for Twilight fans. Early Tuesday morning Stephenie Meyer, the author/mega-genius behind the franchise, announced a 422-page reimagining of the novel. That knowledge is remarkable on its own, but it goes deeper: Meyer is switching the gender of each protagonist. Bella Swan becomes Beau, Edward Cullen is Edythe. Seriously!
The news arrived on the 10th anniversary of her series. Meyer hopes to flip the script from "damsel in distress" to "human in distress," telling Good Morning America Bella is simply, "a normal human being surrounded on all sides by people who are basically superheroes and super villains."
