L.J. Smith Confirms she will no longer be writing The Vampire Diaries
I’m sure you have all heard the reports over the last couple of days that L.J. Smith was fired from writing anymore books for The Vampire Diaries. I hadn’t posted anything yet about it because the were just “Rumors” at that point.
Today L.J. Smith confirmed the rumors though on her Official Blog. Below is what she had to say:
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 given to me at this difficult time.
Second, if you’ve asked me a question about the future books or 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 forward to the day 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 or anyone. It just doesn’t make sense. Although I wanted and still want more 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 more to your liking.) Besides which, Midnight, which is all mine, is coming out in March, and I believe there may be some of my writing in Phantom.
Thanks again to all the fans who have shown loving and loyal kindness to me.

I hate Bonnie and Damon being together, I hate Stefan and Elena being together. Alloy Productions: You have now ruined the Vampire Diaries book series for me. Thanks a lot jerks.
You’re totally right! But I thought Midnight was the last book in the TVD series -.- But Bonnie and Damon have little chemistry and Damon and Elena ALOT!! That would ruin everything! I’ve read all the books so far and I’m definitely gonna read Midnight but in all those books my favorite parts were always those of Elena and Damon. Cmon!! Not fair!
:(:(:(
OMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ICANT BELIVE WAT I AM READING man that last books thats COMING OUT IT BETTER BE ABOUT DAMON AND ELENA LIVING HAPPPILY EVER AFTER i love them so much GOSH WHO WOULD FIRE L.J SMITH give me the addrees and make them get her job back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:((((((((((
How do you get fired from your own book??? I’m a little confused. If I write a book someone can come in and fire my from it???? CONFUSED. Please help me understand the book world.
I am really shocked that this has happened! I just started the books and watching the tv show 2 months ago, and i have grown to love it. I went out and bought the last book and i read it really slow it took me a week (i took my time because i didnt want it to end so quickly i usally read the books in 1 day). I cant believe this has happened wth i would think that “hey these books are flying off the shelves or teens are reading instead of watching tv” thats better right? i hope she can finish with another book company if she wants to. if she cant then i think she should write the ending on her website.
I love vampire diaries pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee continue it…………..
Why would they fire L.J.Smith? She’s an amazing writer!!! That’s just messed up!!! >:(
