‘BREAKING DAWN’ LAWSUIT

i have read quite a few vampire novels… regardless of when they are published, all have similarities to each other… i am in the middle of reading the last vampire by christopher pike & that one has a mother who dies giving birth to a baby who is a vampire…. (1994)

All of the vampire stories are based on centuries of legends and myths of vampires… they are all somewhat similar. I can’t say if the dialogue is the same, but i would imagine it could be similar if the situations are similar…

i searched for the book on barnes & noble, no results, and borders, nothing either… & amazon… nothing! is this even published???

If “The Nocturne” was published how come there are no records of it at any bookstores?? Vampichic, i searched it too, and guess what, NOTHING! I think Ms. Scott is just jealous, as Katie said. Me and my sister sit in Barnes & Noble and Libraries for hours, and i’ve never heard of this book before, EVER! Neither has my sister cause she tells me every time a new vampire book, show, or movie comes out. And i’ve never even heard of Ms. Scott. Who is she? For all we know she could of copied those scenes from Breaking Dawn!

What??? A post-wedding sex scene? How very, very unusual. She must have copied that because how is is possible that two people would’ve thought of that all by themselves…

@Mrs.Edward there above, you don’t have to be published to have copyright. I have read the excerpts and it is very similar, however if Meyer hasn’t copied the story it will sort itself out. However if she has, and there are strict guidelines that can prove this, she will have to give up rights to the story.

It is very very similar – go read the excerpts, everything is in the same order, wedding, honeymoon on island, pregnancy, even bellas dream!

Wow, Allabout Edward, that is really weird that parts of both books are exactly a like. But i don’t see how Scott could sue Steph, do you? Most vampire love novels have the same scenes. Lyra N. is right, most authors will have the same plot in vampire love. So, why is Scott only sueing Meyer? Jealousy? Likely.

The thing about this is that Forever Dawn (Steph’s original Breaking Dawn two years before Twilight was even published) was copyrighted in 2003, which is a year before Scott’s was.

So, technically, Scott would’ve had to track Steph’s obscure printed copy down or hack into her computer and steal it, or the other way around. Neither of them are at fault, except Scott for a frivolous lawsuit and a claim that’s only basis is a few somewhat similar passages that were put in a certain order on the file so it looks like it had the same plot. (If you look at the red parts where it tells you the context of the scene, you’ll see that the page numbers they were taken from put the passages in a completely different order than they were ordered on the page.)

I think Jordan Scott just wants to steal some Twilight fame because her book was never even published. She’d put it chapter by chapter on her blog while she was still drafting it and there was no copyright. Therefore, even if Steph HAD stole it then, it wouldn’t have mattered because it wasn’t copyrighted.

The lawyers aren’t looking at the whole story.

this is just retarded.
no one has heard of “Jordan Scott” or “The Nocturne.” WTF?!
pshh. if she even exists, she’s just doing it to get attention for her book, or just herself. i HATE when people take advantage of twilight.

Jordan just wants to steal the fame from Stephenie. See, she wants everyone to hate Stephenie Meyer and turn their backs from The twilight Saga and loove the nocturne. Obviously that will never happen. So Jordan, if you are out there reading this, then shut up and get over it.
