Well to out-douche GW you really need to be a giant douche. So I think these ladies deserve each other!
 
I remember these books being oddly popular in high-school. But I don't remember anyone comparing it to Harry Potter.

Either way, the books look shitty and I feel kinda relieved that the author is lovingly called a Casserole Clam.

Which, incidentally, is what I imagine her pushy to be like. Slushy and wet and smelly, covered in a creamy chunky substance.

Where have I seen this face before...

I think I borrowed a Mortal Instruments book from someone at summer camp once. Supernatural-teen fiction is right up there with dystopian fiction when it comes to genres that have been done to death, so I remember thinking "good god this is bland and generic as it gets." All I can remember is that there was a pretty girl who was a bitch and Clary thought she was extra cunty because she wore vanilla perfume. Oh, and there was a gay vampire.
Fanfiction writers should not be able to recycle their fanfiction into "proper" books. It just ends up being low-quality trash. If you can replace the name of a pre-existing character of another franchise to make a "new" character for your own series, then you haven't bothered to write an original character at all and just have an archetype. LAZY!
 
I remember seeing her books displayed at the ya section whenever i went to the bookstore. By the time i saw them i have already moved on to the 'ya sucks' phase. I wasnt aware there was a tv show.

From the 'top 10 reasons why the show is better than the book' it seems like the producers took the setting and changed most of the character relationships. The article claims most relationships were catty and problematic and the show turned the into positive ones.

Also the difference between shooped and candid photos of clare are amazing

Hah, good for her for bashing that Dark hunters crap author. That cunt sued GW for naming a space marine chapter with the same generic name as "dark hunters."

How can she win that, and GW not the space marine lawsuit? I mean either both are wrong or right. If Gw can not copyright a generic sci fi term, why can she a generic edgelord term? Dark hunters is like one of the most cliched name for a group of evil stalking baddies. At least Tolkien had the class not to copyright "Rangers" .

So this fat cow at least did a little good!

Class is in extremely short supply these days.

This is the same character, movie/book vs. show.
(lmao they cast the fucking Old Spice Guy)
She hates it. Not only is it ruining her "vision," but adding diversity makes her look more racist in comparison.

You'd think she should be feeling fortunate that her books even have a TV series- most authors don't even get that much.

​
Cassandra Clare, 43, born Judith Rumelt and now fondly referred to by her detractors as Casserole Clam, is best known for writing a teen fantasy novel series called The Mortal Instruments. The first book was written in 2007, and since then she’s written 14 fucking books in the same universe and nothing else. They got made into a really unpopular flop of a movie in 2013, and then became an ABC Family show (called Shadowhunters) in 2016.
However, Clare is best known as a plagiarist, cyberbully, predator, and ogre.

As it so happens, Clare got her start as a Fanfiction writer around 2000-2001, writing 895,000 words of Harry Potter Draco/Ginny smut. (If you’re curious, part one of the fanfic “trilogy” is here). Keep in mind that this woman was in her early thirties while writing this.

Despite being one of the most popular authors in the Fanfiction community at the time, she quickly came under fire, getting herself banned and blacklisted due to plagiarism and bullying.
A good concise summary of the plagiarism story.
And here’s the full account with all the (quite frankly confusing) drama.
One section is definitely worth a read, though; it shows her borrowing lines from Buffy, Black Adder, Friends, and more without citations. She also steals large chunks of text and scenes from books.

The scummiest part is that she primarily plagiarized from an out-of-print series, which she lied about getting permission for, so that nobody would find out.

Okay, but no big deal, since it’s just Fanfiction, right? Well, Casserole’s Harry Potter fic got big enough to land her a book deal. She directly turned the fic into The Mortal Instruments series, E.L. James style. Here are the main characters of The Mortal Instruments, Ginny/Clary and Draco/Jace.

Ginny/Clary and Draco/Jace are gifted teens with magical abilities. They use their magic wands to fight magical creatures and stop an evil wizard named Voldemort/Valentine. And so on.

This article tries debunking the Harry Potter comparisons, but more importantly admits how a backstory Clare wrote for Draco was reused word-for-word to become the backstory of Jace. The character makes the same speech about their past in the books, movies, and now the show. So, there’s blatant recycling of entire scenes.

If this isn’t enough plagiarism for you, Casserole was recently sued by Sherrilyn Kenyon, the author of a series called Dark-Hunters. Kenyon’s series began in 2002, five years before Clare’s. This section of the lawsuit is seriously a fascinating read. Some of it’s a reach, but some is just uncanny…

HOW SHE'S CRAZY​

This part is why I'd say she's a Lolcow rather than just a regular shitty person.
Although most of her drama is in the past, Casserole still chimps out all the time. And now that season 2 of the Shadowhunters show is about to begin, more is to be expected.

First off, she is a huge bully. Here is one account of her bullying (there are numerous). Some of the behaviors mentioned:
  • Internet stalking.
  • Obsessive wiki editing.
  • Using lawyers to threaten people into deleting stuff.
  • Using people’s IPs to call them and threaten them, or having the police threaten them.
  • Getting people to gang up/turn on her enemies.
  • Saying “Tell her that her parents should have aborted her.”
  • Calling someone’s university police to try and get them expelled during their exams.

And lately there’s:
  • Sending fans to attack the Shadowhunters writers and try to get them fired.

Following the backlash from this tweet, the showrunner passive aggressively spammed positive retweets and likes about the show and how it improved upon the books.
  • Openly shitting on the show.
e3ab421116761da51b14c68932540ab8.png

This refers to a plotline unique to the show. She even referenced her salt in her newest book; a character exclaims “it’s not an arranged marriage, that would be gross!”
Unfortunately, Clare forgot that she did actually make arranged marriage a thing in her books three years ago.
  • Blocking fans for not asspatting her.
There are numerous stories on Tumblr and Twitter of fans asking Clare legitimate questions, usually polite, and getting blocked.

Example of her typical brand of passive aggression:
(Referencing a character from the show)

What’s frustrating is that despite dissing the show, she’s more than happy to pretend to like and support it when a) it’s getting publicity or b) presents an opportunity to promote her new books. Despite barely being involved with the show’s creation, she always shows up at conventions and other appearances with the cast. After having called the show shite again and again.
Clare in 2014, pre-TV series: "I won’t answer questions about the gay characters’ sex lives because that is homophobic. They are not a fetish."
Clare in 2016, when the gays become the hottest TV couple: "I’m writing porn of their “first time”! (And monetizing it... For charity?)"

OTHER CRIMES​

Here’s some other miscellaneous grievances people have with Clare:
  • Abusive relationship fetish. i.e. a black female character gets back together with her white male abuser. Tumblr loved that one.
  • Yaoi fetish. Wants Aragorn and Legolas to fuck.
  • Sucks at writing.
  • The main character is a self insert and it’s dumb. Clary = Clare, both are “gorgeous” redheads. Clary’s best friend/kinda boyfriend is a Jew named Simon Lewis, and Clare’s husband is a Jew named Josh Lewis.
  • The way she writes female characters indicates clear spitefulness towards attractive and sexually confident women.
  • Fat and ugly.
I want to end this on a high note, so here’s some examples of the cast and crew of her show dissing her.
From the star of the show:

Blatantly left out of the show's creative choices, and salty:

The showrunner shamelessly cropped her out of this group photo:

I know this op is fucking ridiculous, but I noticed that nobody's been able to find a comprehensive Cassandra Clare post with evidence anywhere, so that's what I went for.

The dangerhair is evident in this literal cow. Wonder if she has a tumblr that she uses a lot, since she DEFINITELY looks like the type that's a full-blown tumblrina.
 
There was a thread made for her already, but it sucked donkey balls, so it can be locked and this can be the new thread. She deserves it so much.

Also, holy shit she's 43?! I always assumed she was a teenager when she "wrote" the Draco Trilogy.
 
This is an interesting read a blog post written by someone who read Clare's original fan fiction "The Draco Trilogy" and liked it, but than was really disillusioned with her professional work . Link to the whole thing.

Once The Mortal Instruments series was over (or, at least, I thought it was), I felt that perhaps Clare might be able to leave her old writing behind and embark on something brand new. I was willing to believe that she was hung up and in love with these characters she had created when she started writing The Draco Trilogy long ago. I get it — the Draco Trilogy was a beloved staple of fanfiction, and it took YEARS for the whole thing to be written. It was a long effort, and she made absolutely no money off it. I can understand the impulse to want to be rewarded for pleasing so many people for so long.

But Clare didn’t stop. She didn’t try something new. Instead, she left The Mortal Instruments and started writing a steampunk trilogy set in Victorian England. About — you guessed it — the world she created in The Mortal Instruments. Shadowhunters are still the main characters. It’s still the same formula: girl who is not a Shadowhunter meets Shadowhunter who is sexy and snarky (like Draco/Jace, only with dark hair and Victorian sensibilities), and becomes entangled in that world and, of course, a love triangle. And then in addition to all of this, Clare — horror of all horrors — decided to extend her original trilogy to six books instead of three.

What's also interesting is Clare is considered the trope namer on tv tropes for the "Draco in Rubber pants" as she was one of the earlier writers that kinda bastardized his character and started the trend. I bring it up because when you think about it her version of Draco is an original character. He has very little to do with Draco Malfoy the character from the Harry Potter series ditto for Ginny and everyone really.

So I'm getting the impression Clare had one set of ideas, and than beat it into the ground with her fan fiction and now is doing the same thing over and over with her professional career and becomes alienating even to people who like her work.

Are her books no longer selling particularly well? The first book of The Mortal Instruments is listed at 3,400 or so on all of Amazon for paid e-books, which strikes me as pretty robust for a title that is now almost eight years old. But I must admit I have no idea what that figure means in unit sales. Doubtless better than being at 10,000 or 100,000, but in absolute terms? No idea. Would be interesting to find out.

I suppose you could argue that her target audience of teenage girls is both endlessly renewing and not particularly discerning, meaning her purple prose and predicatable plots are both a novelty when first encountered and more rather than less likely to be read uncritically.

FWIW, her The Bane Chronicles, the life and times of a bisexual half-demon named Magnus Bane, seem to be selling nowhere near as well as her main series (serieses?). I guess books about bisexual half-demons don't sell as well as ingenue teen girls who don't know who daddy is and get involved in love triangles and get to wear pretty dresses while fighting bad guys after discovering their special snowflake magic powers. All the while braying feminist cliches. But still getting to hook up with the hawt boy in the end.

Girls can't imagine themselves as bisexual half demon men so they can't mentally masturbate to it. She would have been better off writing "bella swan girl meets bisexual half demon man and they have a flirtation before finally fucking 5 books later".
