they did what?! Celeb News & Gossip

The author of the "Twilight" series is being sued by a woman who claims the 4th installment is a rip-off of her work.

Jordan Scott claims in her lawsuit, filed today in federal court, that she began writing a novel "in the vampire genre" when she was just 15 -- back in 2003. The novel was published in 2006 and called "The Nocturne."

Scott claims the 4th installment of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series lifted her work. She says Meyer's book -- "Breaking Dawn" is a "significant literary departure from [her] early books..." She says it seems the book is "written by a teenager." Yes, Scott was a teenager when she wrote "The Nocturne."

Scott claims the two books "show striking, articulable and substantial similarities in the ... plot lines, themes, dialogue, mood, setting, pace, characters, sequence of events, ideas and other similarities."

Scott is asking for damages, and that the court impound the "Breaking Dawn" books that are being sold.

I love the idea that only the latest one seems like it was written by a teenager... ha.
But perhaps this other person is just interested in getting some of the success that Stephanie Meyer is getting.

The entire series seems written by a teenager. My question would be how Myers had access to Scott's work. I would also think that Scott would have to have some proof that she began such writings back then in order to have even a chance at winning such a lawsuit.
