I starting writing before...?

that actually sounds better than twilight!

but i guess don't make the characters too similar to them. especially bella, she's a horrible, two-dimensional character. edward is very unrealistic, but alice is way cool. there are many people like alice out there, so don't worry about that character. just write it, as long as YOU know it isn't like twilight, it won't be ;)

EDIT- i think the main character girl should be adventurous, nice, laid back, and brave. three-demenstional, unlike bella, just don't make her like bella, long story short. actually, you should just make the main character almost exactly like you, it's easier and it's automatically three-demenstional.

also, your ideas that seem similar to twilight are just general. as long as they aren't anything like it. rene doesn't actually get kidnapped anyways so hopefully the mom is actually kidnapped. and edward should have more of a personality and FLAWS. without a characters flaws, they are a mary sue/gary sue and two-demenstional. add a little jacob in your dragon version of edward. that sounds good :]

Don't be afraid, girl! (Anybody's writing is more vivid than Meyer's, lol)

Anyways, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

From what you've explained about the plot it doesn't sound like Twilight. A descendent of dragons sounds really cool- I hope your story gets published and turned into a blockbuster so I could see what that would look like! Alice is just eccentric, so you could say that pretty much all eccentric people are like Alice, so don't worry about that either. And the whole kidnapped mom thing can be okay, as long as you make sure that the reasons behind the kidnapping aren't similar to Rene's kidnapping. The dreams sounds really cool though, it's a good idea. BUT if the relationship between the main character and the dragon is similar to Bella and Edward's, then change it. You would get a lot of crap from Twilight fans for that. And also make sure that the physical description of Edward is different too.

Other than that, you should be good.

GOOD LUCK!

Even though the characters will be based on Edward and Alice, at least your story line sounds good. Meyer's ideas from her books came from her favorites like:

Pride and Prejucide by Jane Austen (Twilight)

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (New Moon)

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (Eclipse)

A Mid Summer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare (Breakin Dawn)

Don't worry about this. I plan to start my own half eagle-half human boy and I was kinda inspired by my ffantasies and the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. Just do your thing!

VIVA LA RAZA!

you might be accused of rewritting it yes. you could try changning it up a bit but if you like it then keep it. does anyone know that you were writting before the books came out? have them back you up. plus >.> there are a lot of books with suave vampire boys in it lol so im not sure if you having a guy like edward would really be all that bad. ^.^ just trying to help though, alot of books have similarities in them with outhers (dude greek mythology has the same plot as most now famous books XD) take romeo and juliet >.> two families that cant really be together? two people? anyways its just a stretch i think you should enjoy your writting no matter what people say.

It doen't sound too similar to Twilight. There seem to be a few key differences {Dragon descendant, mom being kidnapped, dreaming of the guy before she meets him}.

Actually, it doesn't sound much like Twilight at all.

Hmmm... well this stuff happens. I know an author who's trying to make in the business and her ideas have been used before but she just keeps trying and writing new stories. So keep writing, even if this story seems like your masterpiece you never know when your best work will come out!

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!

I had an awesome story series going, and I even had a full-blown website for it.

But then "Heroes" came out and everyone accused me of stealing their ideas. Just because some bigwig put it on TV, it's not good enough to be MY idea too.

This is a little like Twilight with the unknown creatures but otherwise it is really good I like it. I can see in some spots where it is like Twilight yet in most it is not.

Hope I helped.

Please answer mine too- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkhWs...
