lol Seriously, I would be in a murderous rage, too. I hated when Stephanie Meyer was being sued for blatantly plagiarizing the Sookie Stackhouse novels her fans were going: "But there are no original ideas anymore!" YEAH WELL THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO ARRANGE THEM AND SHE STOLE WHOLE PLOTS. It annoys me that she's still raking in money.

wha.

I did NOT know this.

But it makes perfect sense since Twilight blows.

Honestly that doesn't surprise me, because the whole "I HAD A DREAM ABOUT THEM AND SUDDENLY FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER HAD AN INTEREST IN WRITING BEFORE" explanation doesn't sit well with me. :/ That seems to be the argument everyone uses to defend a crappy author or writing. Yes, everything's been done over and over again, but that doesn't mean you can steal someone else's ideas.
