I personally feel this Scott person is after publicity for her own book. Boy she is getting it now. People want to know what her book is about - the story and characters - are they really like BD?? So they are gonna want to go and read Scotts book - and there you have it, the publicity she is after!! Just forget about her (unless you genuinely wanna read her book).

Who does this dumb bitch think she is? No one has heard of Jordan Scott and she probably thinks by suing Steph Meyer she'll get fame. Guess what? Your book sucks ass! Breaking Dawn was amazing, absolutely amazing! And um, I'm sorry but who the in the f-ing hell doesn't have sex on their wedding night? And you know what is a common result of sex? Babies. GASP!...not. This is a lame ass attempt to get more people to read her lame ass book.

Can anyone just breathe? Especially Angry Twilight Fan. There are many books that have the same plot line. Doesn't mean it was plagiarized.
Death of the main character's wife ;; There can be more than one main character in a book. You do remember the horrendous part when Jacob had those few chapters? And technically, in the world of Meyer, Bella does die when she becomes a vampire.

Until we can sit down and read both scenes in question, side by side, we really can't tell. The problem I'm having is that I can't find very many exceprts from The Nocturne. From what I can tell Scott's main complaint is that the verbage, situation and character development are quite similar in these key areas, not the book in its entirity.
I do think its silly to try to envelop the whole book into the idea of plaigarism, though. If that were true, we would have no form of entertainment whatsoever. Most of the popluar movies and books follow a specific formula-- the hero always has a complex, the villain is usually jaded and there's almost always a damsel (male or female) in distress.

Ok so is she going to try and stop everyone who wrote a book after 2006 which has an after marriage sex scene, a supposedly evil child and the death of the main character's wife?
Because I can think of 4 off the top of my head.
The main character in Breaking dawn IS the wife so how is that the same?
I read part of this book on google books and I really can't see any similarities. There are no new ideas anymore. That doesn't mean it's plagiarism. I bet there were hundreds of books before hers with those plot points in them too.

By the by, I am not accusing Ms. Meyere of plaigarizing nor do I say she is innocent. I, personally, have not read either book (though I tried reading the Twilight drivel and developed a migrane into the first chapter).
I am merely stating that, yes, the book 'The Nocturne' does exist.
The last update on that was dated 12/16/06 and it is the brief synopsis of Jordan's book, The Nocturne. Here. Allow me to copy and paste the synopsis for your viewing pleasure if you are not compelled to visit said website. (funny, I found this in my first try).
