FROM MTV.COM: There are some things you can always count on in one of today’s modern vampire novels: a breathless, cross-species love affair, bone-breaking lovemaking, lots of smoldering eyes and buckets of spilled blood. But, according to TMZ, an author named Jordan Scott claims she saw a few too many similarities between her 2006 vamp tale, “The Nocturne,” and “Twilight” scribe Stephenie Meyer‘s 2008 book, “Breaking Dawn.”
In a cease-and-desist letter obtained by the site, Scott’s publisher claims the fourth book in the “Twilight” series has “striking and substantial” similarities to “The Nocturne,” part of a trilogy that 21-year-old musician/author Scott began writing when she was 15.

I think this accusation is total bullshit. I’m not even sure it’s true that SM has been accused of that. What do you think?
Many of the vampire series have similarities. Have you noticed the similarities between the Vampire books/series you read?
What similarities have you noticed?
I wonder how many times talentless losers who are too lazy to create something are going to come out to try to steal money from real writers/artists. And which law schools produce the kind of morons who think they have the right to issue a cease and desist in a case like this? And TMZ breaks the story – now I am impressed.
Vampire lore is wide and varied and you can draw comparisons almost everywhere if you try to. That does not constitute plagirism. Meyer’s vampires are unique enough to stand on their own and will continue to for years to come.
