MTV.com has a new story on the plagiarism that could be Breaking Dawn:"If Jordan Scott could ask "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer one thing, it would be, "Why?"
"That would be my question ... the thing I would have to say to her," Scott told MTV News in her first interview since her lawyers filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Meyer on Wednesday over claims that 2008's "Breaking Dawn," the fourth book in the "Twilight" author's series, plagiarizes from Scott's 2006 novel, "The Nocturne."
"I don't think it's a coincidence. This isn't about vampires or vampire lore, it's about the events in the book," she said. "From the main characters getting married and the description of the ceremonies, the feelings the characters are going through, the scene on the beach, the pregnancy and the discussion about it being a boy and giving him a weird name and the husband having to cut the baby out, the wife coughing up blood ... these are not things you typically see in the vampire genre.". . ."

Whatever. Stephenie didn't need to plagiarize to sell "Breaking Dawn." She could've pretty much written anything where Bella and Edward have their happily ever after, and most people would've been satisfied. That guy just wants his 15 minutes of fame.
