Judge Slams Person Suing 'Twilight' Creator

Posted Dec 3rd 2009 12:00PM by TMZ Staff

A sinister plot against "Twilight" creator Stephenie Meyer has been exposed in court -- and it's all over an allegation that Meyer stole the idea for her vampire empire from someone else!

A judge slammed competing vampire author Jordan Scott, claiming her accusation that Meyer ripped off a book called "The Nocturne" was "deceptive" -- not to mention completely unfounded.

As TMZ previously reported (Spoiler alert!) Scott alleged the wedding, consummation and birth scenes in Meyer's book "Breaking Dawn" were suspiciously similar to scenes from "Nocturne" -- but the judge ripped Scott, saying she had "twice manipulated aspects of the subject works in order to create the appearance of similarity."

The case was officially dismissed.

So was Stephenie Meyer on hold to write a 5th book in the series because of this lawsuit? I guess I thought she just wrote the 4 books in the story, and that was it. Uggg.

I know she was re-writing Twlight from Edward's POV, I can't remember what it was called though. Midnight, maybe?

No she was writing another and the manuscript was found and leaked she threw a hissy fit and isn't writing until people forget all about it. I can't wait for this emo vampire shit to be over.
