Comparing Cassandra Clare to Donald Trump within the first three minutes is such a bold move. She truly risks it all for us.
Wow, that "other people won't feel safe to write fanfic now" gives me real "I'm afraid to even TALK to a woman now" energy.
It has always bothered me that her fans always bring up the incest plot when people critique her as if that is the worse of her crimes. They love to ignore the plagiarism allegations, doxxing, bullying, general awfulness, etc.
I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago, on the slopes of Mount Fandom Wank. I was there the day the Mortal Instruments was just an erotic Ron/Ginny hatefic.
I absolutely love her insistence of "it's not plagiarism because my friends and I made a fun game out of it!"😭😭
I remember every second of this.
I would love to see Cassandra try to argue her “not-plagiarism” monologue to a literature professor and be promptly told that her actions were worthy of expulsion for blatant plagiarism. The amount of times I’ve had a professor tell my class that incorrectly cited or non-cited quotes and paraphrases are plagiarism, full stop, is stressful.
I love that she refers to Blackadder and Red Dwarf as "obscure" British sit-coms when they're some of the most well known and best British sit-coms, they're only obscure to Americans I suppose.
It's truly mindboogling how much internet drama comes back to Cassandra Clare and her infamous Inner Circle from the Harry Potter fandom of the early 00s. These people literally just go from fandom to fandom ruining everything for everyone else and they just never stop.
I expressed my dislike for the sibling x sibling narrative CC seems to be so fond of and her fans went FERAL on me. They called me names, accused me of not understanding literature, and also threatened me... all because I didn't like incest. 😒
As a fanfic writer and aspiring novelist: she gives writers a bad name in general. Take this story as a cautionary tale on how not to behave and write.
Cassandra: preparing long monologue stating her innocence on plagiarizing.
When I was a kid my favourite book series was called The Mortal Engines. When I read Mortal Instruments as a teen, I was like huh, similar name. Then I learnt that Cassie named her prequels The Infernal Devices - the exact same name as the 3rd Mortal Engines book! I feel like I've hardly heard people mention this bc Mortal Engines was relatively unknown. The Mortal Engines villain was even called Valentine too🤦♀️
oh my god, as someone who was a teenager just watching from the sidelines during most of CC's BNF days, I love watching this stuff. I feel like an old man watching a WWII documentary and yelling I WAS THERE at the screen as I wave my cane.
As a published author, would I mind if someone wrote fanfic based on my original works? No, not if they just took the characters and general setting, themes, etc. and then wrote their own ORIGINAL stories. (As long as they weren't trying to make money off of the fanfics, that is). But would I be upset if someone cut and pasted MY original text into their fanfic stories? Yes, I absolutely would. I think that is the distinction that is being glossed over by Clare and some of her fans. Of course fanfiction involves using ideas, characters, and plot points from other media, but that is very different from lifting entire passages from other books, TV shows, films, or what have you and inserting them into a story you claim to have written yourself.(Especially if you never cite the actual creators of these passages). It's the difference between an homage or parody and outright stealing. I don't know why some people can't understand that.
Have another one for the list: Addison Cain. She is the author who claims to have invented heterosexual Alpha/Omega (she didn't) and has been suing people left and right over copyright, because she apparently owns the Omegaverse!
Bro plagiarism once in college can result in your dismiss from the school. This is insane to me that nothing happened
Unfortunately Dr Oz is an actual board-certified heart surgeon. He's even good at it. Of course, being a really good surgeon and certified to practice medicine doesn't make someone not a grifter and a fame-hungry huckster in other areas of medicine.
I have an emotional attachment to the books, since the mortal instruments is the first book with a gay character that i read and it helped me come to the realisation that i am bi. That being said I think it is not hard to both like a book that you loved when you were younger and still acknowledge that 1) the author is problematic and 2) the books aren’t the best. Fans that defend anyone no matter what they do are scary
Honestly the stans are the most embarrassing part about this for me. Seeing all these people going to bat for someone like Clare is something I can't understand; if you like her books, whatever but some of them act like they're the Gomez Addams to her Morticia.
