In Berlin, Stephenie recently noted that two works inspired Breaking Dawn, rather than just A Midsummer's Night's Dream, as we had expected previously.
Do you think that this work is likely another romance? Or is it something fantasy? Do you think that it will give us clues about the wedding and Bella's change, the werewolves, renegotiating the treaty, the Volturi... or something else entirely?
The following are favorite authors, past and present, that Stephenie has mentioned in interviews.  Are any of them or their particular works likely in your mind?

And yes, I do realize that this is just inspiration, not plot for plot. However, I think it's easy to see Pride & Prejudice's influence on Twilight as well.  :)
