Accused of plagiarism? Who'd she steal from? A preteen girl with esteem issues?

*reads*

"A writer plans to sue "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer, accusing her of plagiarism by lifting passages from an obscure book she wrote called "The Nocturne" and using them in vampire romance "Breaking Dawn," an attorney said on Tuesday."

Similar name. Good. That's a good start.

*keeps reading*

"the passages in question involve few word-for-word similarities but that the two books have similar plot and character points."

Oooo. Not looking good for The Nocturne...

"In a cease-and-desist letter Williams sent to Hachette Book Group, he provided comparisons from the two books of a wedding, a sex-on-the-beach episode and a passage where a human-turned-vampire describes the wrenching change.
As another instance of similarities, Williams pointed out that characters in both books call their wives "love.""

Shiiiiit. Then they are just saying this for the money?

"He said Scott does not plan to seek monetary damages."

... What the fuck? Doing it just for what little publicity they can scrape?

"Scott made chapters from "The Nocturne" available online as she was working on the vampire book, which she wrote in her teenage years and released in book form in 2006"

Huh. So it's possible, I suppose, that Meyer's read the chapters? Is that what they are banking on? To get money? Wait. No money. Ummm...

What?
