The Vampire Diaries vs. Twilight Saga Controversy

There is some new vampire competition on the horizon and fans are up in arms. We're breaking down the Twilight-Vampire Diaries story right now on ClevverTV!

Hey guys-Joslyn Davis here in Beverly Hills talking about how Twi-fans are reacting to the CW's new show "Vampire Diaries." So did the show rip off Twilight or are angry viewers really entirely uninformed? It is time to set the record straight!

Even though Twilight hit theaters before Vampire Diaries hit TV screens, the truth is that Vampire Diaries was a book way before Twilight was even a twinkle in Stephanie Meyer's eye! Vampire Diaries was written by LJ Smith and published 14 years before Meyer's first book in the Twi saga arrived on shelves. So now die-hard Vampire Diaries fans are actually flipping the switch on the entire scandal saying that Twilight is actually copying Vampire Diaries. So will there be a lawsuit or any other legal drama regarding the vampire overload-probably not! Attorneys say that the vampire-based plots are about similar ideas and not about copyright infringement.

Well, we here at ClevverTV think that this is a perfect of example of the more the merrier! There are a lot of obvious similarities between the two entertainment hits, but can't we just enjoy what each has to offer instead of arguing about which one is better?

Since you guys know more than anyone out there, why not head on down to the comments section and fill us in on the differences and similarities between Vampire Diaries and the Twi-saga. And have any of you actually read Vampire Diaries? Give us your book review below.

Edward's suicide attempt: "I hate myself, therefore I will publicly strip in slow-motion then sparkle so hard, it will be a crime."

Stefan's suicide attempt: "What I truly am is a ripper, next time I lose it I might hurt someone I care about. I'd rather wait for the sunrise and burn then have that happen."

Really, enough said.

I'm not biased because I knew Twilight first and I used to really like the books and I only started watching the Vampire diaries two weeks ago cuz i was bored but now I can say that TVD is gazillion times better than twilight! The casts are wonderful and amazing actors. There's a lot of twists and turns in the story and it is always exciting to watch.
