Twilight is a rip off?

Ok so, everyone knows what twilight is, right?

But theres also a tv show called True Blood. They are SO similar it's not even funny.

There are vampires and humans in both.

There is a vampire and a human in love in both.

There is a mind reader in both. Except in True Blood the human in the relationship can read minds, and she can't read the mind of the vampire.

There are vampire elders and whatnot in both.

Pretty much the only difference is the vampires reaction to sunlight haha.

SOOO what i was wonder was this:

Which one is the rip off? What was created first? True Blood or Twilight?

O.O

    The Twilight series is a rip-off of a lot of books, but I'm not so sure it was a rip-off of the Sookie Stackhouse books. I'm not sure which ones came first, I'll have to look it up.

    Update: I looked them up. The first Sookie Stackhouse book "Dead Until Dark" has a copyright date of 2001. "Twilight" was 2005. So there was definitely time for Stephenie Meyers to add it to the pile of books she ripped off to write Twilight. Maybe you're onto something there. lol.

    Well one despite some similarities they aren't a rip off of each other. Trueblood is darker and made for an adult audience. And is based off the Sookie Stackhouse book series. Twilight is aimed towards teens.
