Bonus chapter revealed: Fail

Typically, it is my belief that the chapters that do not make it into books should remain on the cutting room floor. They didn't hack it for a reason, and as a writer you're only making yourself look bad to let people know just how bad some of your ideas really were. But I do understand that cult followings tend to suck up whatever you give them. Soooooo, remember that one time that Stephanie Meyer wrote that one scene in Eclipse where Bella was "half asleep" but really heard everything while her two love interests revealed all of their inner thoughts and motivations... (it took place in a tent)? Yeah, that's what we like to call a cheat. Way to be subtle about it, Meyers.

Well, apparently she did it again... in her book that wasn't about Twilight, The Host. The paperback version is out, and it includes a previously cut chapter with a scene where the main character was unconscious, hence not making sense in the scheme of the narrative. I haven't read it, but I'm going to assume that the two male leads banter back and forth about how much they love her and how much they want her to become a part of their club. It will add nothing of substance, but will make the horny teens happy.
