Thoughts on Plagiarism and Stephenie Meyer

OK, I am glad she posted her little missive about not being sued for plagiarism. I mean, at least now we know she isn't actively being sued.

But I think we all know that her ideas are hardly original, so a plagiarism lawsuit wouldn't seem like a far stretch. She claims to have never read a vampire story before, but I swear she must have been near some vampire books and absorbed the information via osmosis, because she sure has A LOT of similarities to other previously published vampire novels.

And another thing...she just irks me. I don't know why. She's never really done anything overly stupid, but there is something about her that just seems so...fake. Oh, wait, I know what it is. She LIES!

Sheesh.
