Now here’s an awesome bit of news, folks–seems that Stephenie Meyer, the horrible woman who foisted sparkly vampires on us all–is coming under plagiarism accusations over her book Twilight.
In a cease-and-desist letter sent to Ms. Meyer’s publisher, Hachette Book Group, Mr. Williams drew comparisons between scenes involving a wedding, a tryst on a beach and a description of the transformation from human to vampire. Ms. Scott plans to file a copyright infringement lawsuit in federal court, Mr. Williams said, though she does not plan to seek monetary damages.
Now there’s the most interesting part of the whole affair, no? She’s going after Stephenie Meyer, but NOT for any money! Maybe she’s trying to hawk her own vampire novel and do so by making Meyer respond to her allegations!
Admittedly, from what I’ve seen so far the case IS pretty flimsy–basically, Scott and Meyer have a vampire wedding, vampire sex on the beach, and a pet name in common–but you never know where something like this could end up. We’ll keep a watch on it–this isn’t the FIRST time Meyer’s been accused of cribbing, either–and when we know more, you’ll read it right here.

It’s a pretty tough fight to win. This isn’t uncommon in the industry. Usually it doesn’t get this far because the claim fizzles out.
