An Offer to Buy ATwilightKiss.com
Photo Courtesy of Entertainment Tonight
I forwarded a stranger’s email to my webmaster Manuel Viloria and inquired, “What does he mean he wants to buy ATwilightKiss.com? It’s sorta useless to buy the name because it’s associated with me.”
To my surprise, my webmaster replied that the person is interested in buying ATwilightKiss.com site lock, stock and barrel, as in, the whole caboodle, “They want to buy your entire website,
meaning domain name + content + copyright.”
Mentally, my jaw dropped.
Manuel continued to name a dollar figure that I can probably demand. Although the amount was quite tempting, the thought of losing my rights over so many original pieces of work that figuratively constituted blood, sweat and tears was just too excruciating. The answer would have to be no.
However, collaborations, work inspired by, adaptations, or limited rights thereto I might be open to, but not the whole thing.

Hi Lorna,
What if one (or two) of the buyers are robsten, would you be willing? Just a thought.

Oh, and the fact that somebody wants to buy it only means you’re doing something good, if not great, with this site which I think you are.
So, Kudos to ATK!

Thank you very much everybody (including those who sent emails) for your kind words.
Re if Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart or one of their reps offers to buy ATK, which is going to be kinda weird, I think the answer will still be no. I’m pretty possessive of my work. Besides, if they do buy it, I think what they would do is to delete its existence. LOL
