traceypharm, I found a copy of LJ Smith's 이메일 here
link "You see, I’ve been fired from The Vampire Diaries—mainly because instead of giving my publishers the strict Stelana they demanded, I went ahead and
wrote what my 심장 told me to do. They wanted Elena to “realize that she was fond of 또는 physically attracted to Damon, but that her one true 사랑 was Stefan.” But I didn’t see the series that way. And so Midnight is the last
Vampire Diaries book you’ll see 의해 L. J. Smith."
She goes on to say: "Even though they are copyrighted to me, I still can’t write
them without Alloy’s permission. And they really hated any Delena content—as well as the many scenes I had given to Bonnie, which they wanted to cut. They demanded only Stelena... 당신 can 키스 any 더 많이 truly meaningful Delena moments goodbye, because I’m afraid it just isn’t the view of Harper 또는 Alloy."
She ends the 이메일 의해 saying that she's sorry that Delena readers will have no hope of anything other than a Stelena endgame.
