        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time is ticking — but fans aren&#8217;t sure toward what.</p><p>Diehard fans of the &#8220;Twilight&#8221; saga discovered a trail of mysterious clues on the social media accounts and website of series author Stephenie Meyer this week.</p><p>The homepage of the 46-year-old writer&#8217;s website has been set to feature a clock counting down until Monday.</p><p>The social media links below the clock all go to accounts for Fickle Fish Films, a production company Meyer co-founded, which produced film adaptions of her sci-fi novel &#8220;The Host&#8221; and the 2013 rom-com &#8220;Austenland.&#8221; Across those accounts, videos have been posted featuring a starry night sky and a day count to Monday.</p><p>The tease has fans weighing in on what project Meyer is hinting at, with many hoping it has something to do with the cult vampire books.</p><p>&#8220;Everyone&#8217;s saying this has something to do with &#8216;The Host,&#8217; but my little heart is holding the tiniest bit of hope that it might be &#8216;Twilight&#8217; related,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/3bellam/status/1255543665788964870" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tweets</a> one fan.</p><p>Others hope it has something to do with &#8220;Midnight Sun,&#8221; a companion novel to &#8220;Twilight,&#8221; which had 12 chapters leaked in 2008. In response, Meyer stopped writing it and posted a partial draft to her website.</p><p>&#8220;Me crying and clutching onto the crumbs barely big enough to point to &#8216;Midnight Sun,&#8217; &#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/JxSerendipity/status/1255584539797266432" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">writes</a> one tentative hopeful.</p><p>&#8220;My brain: &#8216;The Host&#8221;s sequel. My heart: &#8216;Midnight Sun,&#8217; &#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/fedmoon/status/1256275949064269824" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">guesses</a> another. &#8220;Either way, I&#8217;m so excited.&#8221;</p><p>In other &#8220;Twilight&#8221;-related news, Robert Pattinson, 33, who portrayed Edward Cullen in the film adaption of the books, revealed that while he&#8217;s become a sex symbol, he doesn&#8217;t exactly smell like one. In March, the English stud <strong>told Allure</strong> that &#8220;lots of people tell me I smell like a crayon … like I&#8217;m embalmed.&#8221;</p><p>Other highlights of the strange interview included the fact that when he auditioned for &#8220;Twilight,&#8221; he says he looked like &#8220;a baby with a wig on.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I had done a job where I’d dyed my hair black,&#8221; he explained, &#8220;but I had an inch and a half of roots, and I had waxed my body … then I had a few months where I’d been drinking beer all day, so I had this hairless, chubby body.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
