the post i wrote was before I've read L.J. Smith's Vampire Diaries series. So let me rephrase everything. stephenie meyer plainly copied Vampire Diaries.
I highly suggest reading the Vampire Diaries series, it is a great read. 3nodding
anyways I just thought to make a list of the similarities between twilight and vampire diaries since it is painfully obvious Stephenie Meyer stole ideas, and scenes..
-Both Set in small towns in America, in similar types of surroundings. Eg. Sinister forests, close knit community, historic town.
-Both feature a female protagonist who falls in love with a Vampire who is actually hundreds of years old, but pretends to be a normal teen, who is incredibly good looking, strong, good senses ect… Both try and only feed off animals, leave humans in peace and try to be good. Both are morally guilty, and consider themselves evil. Both are incredibly drawn to the female protagonist, like they are soulmates, but at first try to hold back to protect her.
-Stefan and Edward are very similar
-Bella and Elena have some similarities
-Caroline and Lauren have some similarities
-Slight similatities between Matt and Mike/Tyler
-Damon and the antagonist vampire in twilight (whatever he’s called) have some similarities
-Alice and Bonnie are similar (both have visions)
-The plot in both books features a strong evil vampire who wants the female protagonist, who is madly in love with a weak good vampire.
-Both feature werewolfs and vampires
-They both have the secretary scene were stefan/edward try to "charm" her to get what they want.
-They both have a almost rape scene. Bella in the port angeles where is being followed by men but then Edward shows up to save her = Elena in the cemetary when tyler is forcing himself on her, stefan shows up then beats up tyler.
-The ballet studio with the mirrors where James waits for Bella = a dream where Elena is walking down a mirrored hall to meet Damon (both the bad guys)
-The iconic Meadow scene from Twilight when Edward shows bella how strong he is = the scene with Stefan and Damon (he rips a tree from the ground and whips around the forest to show his speed and stregnth)
-When Edward promises not to leave Bella if that’s what is right for her - she replies “its not the same thing (as in saying i’ll stay forever) = Stefan saying he’ll stay as long as Damon is around - Eleana says exactly that, its not the same thing!!!
-They both have the Werewolves which are part on the history of the town.
**before anyone starts going off on how Vampire Diaries copied Twilight, Vampire Diaries actually came out in the 90s.

Moonlight_Bella Simplistic-Tyranny pxxn Simplistic-Tyranny How ironic.. xd Even tho Steph Meyer has said time and again she's never read a vampiric novel. -shrug- I love how everyone believes what comes out of her mouth. what because her name is stephenie meyer it means she does not lie? Meyer probably read vampire diaries then had a dream about it rofl
IMO both stories are way too similiar to ignore and simply say it was a coincidence. I'm not taking sides. lol
I still think Twilight will and always will be a book that was literally based on a wet dream of hers. -shrug- Even the actors portraying the characters hate the book. rofl
Orly? O.o; I know that Rob didn't even watch the movie. His excuse was something along the lines of how he, "didn't like to see himself up there". xD He basically said that [the book] showed that Stephenie believed she was Bella, and that she wanted Pattz to be this sex symbol "i cream myself just staring at him' type person. And the more he read the book, the more he hated Edward. so he made Edward to be a Manic-depressive individual with issues.
Or something. I can't find the actual thread in the anti Twilight guild about it.
