well behaved women

Just to be a further downer, I would like to link you to this, which compares all the ways Meyer pretty blatantly ripped off Charlaine Harris. I knew she had, of course, but I hadn't bothered to compare it to this extent.

Meyer’s lead squee-inducing male character, Edward, is a telepathic vampire who hears people’s thoughts all the time & who’s driven nuts by them. Then he meets Bella, whose thoughts he can’t hear. Then he saves her life a few hundred times and they get together.

Harris’s lead female character, Sookie, is a telepathic waitress who hears people’s thoughts all the time & who’s driven nuts by them. ...Then Bill the vampire walks into the bar, and . . . miracle of miracles, she can’t hear him thinking. Then they save each other's lives, fight crime, and get together.

Quote is just the stuff I noticed. How much more there is is sort of hideous.

Hopefully my last Twilight post! Like, ever!
