I absolutely REFUSE to give that bitch ANY of my money. She's a plagiarist and profited off of her Fanfiction fandom before she became a published author. She's also tried to get someone expelled from college because of something stupid. She will NEVER see a cent from me and I urge a LOT of people to not pay for her stuff either.

She is also a cyberbully who harassed a bunch of young girls for calling her out on her plagiarism -- only to then cry about being cyberbullied herself.

^Dare I ask the full extent of her crimes? If all this and more is true, I have no idea why Holly Black likes her so much.
Hell, her writing alone put me off.

Writer. She wrote the Modern Tales of Faerie books: Tithe, Valiant, and Ironside. I thought they were OK, but her prose is addictive as hell so I read them all in like four days. I don't know how someone who can make me read through stuff I think is OK through the power of her writing as if it were stuff I really really like can like someone as talently bankrupt as Cassandra Clare, much less go so far as to basically hand her a career on a plate.

By the emperor, are we really discussing something like that. To all honesty, I don't really care, it's a work that barely leaves any impact, The official naional fantasy & sci-fi club(In which I must say I am a revered member)decided that we should just note it's there aaaaand......... really nobody even gave it as much as a look. It was like that weird bum that talks to himself - catches your attention while you walk past him and then you just forget. So yeah, on my opinion - who gives a crap. You talk about giving money, I talk about whether I'll give it so much as a look

And yet again let me ask - who gives a crap on this pathethic attempt at getting the attention of the critics, the bane of bad writing, the steel and doom of entertainment So to sum up my reaction on the mortal instruments and it's writer:
So really, atleast from what I've seen in the material plane, nobody gives a shit

I don't have the books either, I was around when the whole stuff with her hit the fan, so I didn't get but she popped up in another thread, so I made this one.
watersheerie: Thank you for posting the links, I saw them on a tumblr post, but I'm glad you posted them. And: ^This.

Wow. Um...wow. What a clusterfuck. That time she tried to get a girl expelled... And she got a writing career? And a movie based on one of her books? That from what I can tell totally ripped off both Harry Potter and Empire Strikes Back? Seriously. On the other hand, I have now learned of Pamela Dean. I might just check her out.

^ Twilight is better? Nice try heretic Melina said that House of Night is almost better than City of Bones. Marked was on the thrift store but I didn't buy it. It's a waste of money. Besides, I listened to the audio book and it was worse. The only thing that kept me going is that the voice of the girl really fits Zoey Redbird's personality. Anyways, has anyone seen the movie of this book? Lily Collins is Clary I think.

^ Twilight is better? Nice try heretic Oh, she hates Twilight. She's just making a point as to City of Bones' awfulness. As horrible as Twilight is, at least it was straight from the mind of Stephanie Meyer and not some horrific mash-up of Harry Potter and Star Wars. It's a bad day when Stephanie Meyer has more integrity than another writer.

At least Meyer had some enthusiastic when writing Twilight.

Yes, but there aren't many creations that are worse than twilight, given the fact that meyer is deluded not evil you're probably right. BUT TWILIGHT IS STILL WORSE

If you think Twilight is the worst thing out there you're lucky, because you have yet to experience the truly worst of the worst. Maradonia Saga, anyone?

For one Gloria is self-published. However, E.L. James is a lot worse since she is legitimately published. I don't know how crap like that get's published and yet the rest of us have to edit, proofread, polish, write queries, and go through rejection but they get accepted?
I also don't get how City of Bones got published.

I also don't get how City of Bones got published. Simple: they got published because the publishers knew that they would make money. They already had an established fanbase who would fork over their money for this plagiarized garbage. It's the same reason only remakes and adaptions are in theaters nowadays. Although at least the superhero adaptions have the decency to usually be GOOD.

Anyways, at least Meyer didn't write a fan fiction but her writing is like one since it's mostly about romance and sex. I've seen even better fan fiction than Twilight. We're getting out of topic. I don't know Cassandra Clare got published but she's most likely forgotten. It's funny that The Mortal Instruments came out in 2008 (?) and yet, they decided to make a movie now. It's just like with Vampire Academy. They're coming out with the movie next year in 2014.

And I'm with annoyed here, the Maradonia Saga is worst.

Oh. So that's why she's a plagiarist. Okay. Yeah, I didn't know Cassandra Claire, so, I was clueless on what people are talking about in another thread and yeah. But wow. She's the one who invented the Draco in Leather Pant nonsense?
