Twilight...sigh

We all know how hyped up Twilight is. We all know its a steaming pile of shit. It is also an extremely easy read and borrows the most cliche situations and dialogue I have ever seen. The characters are bland and flat, the Vampires are not even cool, and they sparkle. What self respecting author would make a Vampire sparkle in the sun?!? Its lunacy.
Anywho, the reason I decided to come out on this hate tirade is I discovered something that needs to be shared. Many people do not know yet but Stephenie Myer, the plagiarist...oops I mean author of the Twilight series, apparently stole scenes and situations from... you guessed it, a book written by a 15 year old girl. No joke. The book in question is called, The Nocturne, written by Jordan Scott. She was fifteen at the time. Myer's book, Breaking Dawn, has startling similarities to the story, including most of the situations and some of the actual text. Of course Meyer is denying it, but why I think it is a genuine case of plagiarism is the fact that Jordan Scott is not suing Myer for money. Nope, she only wants her work to be recognized and not stolen. Considering how widely popular the books are (and I still don't know why) asking for money would seem to be the thing to do, what motivation would she have to not ask for money? It would be down right stupid to not ask for money unless the claim is real. Hopefully this will be resolved and Stephenie Myer will be written off as a two-bit hack.
