ikr like i don’t know if it’s even possible to capture all of the true emotions and scenes of the books in a show if that makes sense?? usually tv adaptions cut down on scenes for length and i feel like if they cut anything out it wouldn’t be as good... and also i don’t think whatever cast they choose will do justice to will, tessa and jem
Ikr and no cast can ever be good enough for our characters. The TMI movie and Shadowhunters Show did an amazing job but nothing can compare to the books cuz no actor can ever show the happiness, the pain, the sorrow, the confusion and the plot twists in their face without giving away too little or too much
@@blueberryforest3823 haha! Hating an author does not require you to watch a long interview and make a comment just to tell that she's not a good writer.
Y'all wanna hate on her weight when none of you have even read her books, or probably don't read at all. I also bet none of you actually watch the video itself. While actual intellects do not judge people's work based on their looks and please tell me something successful and of you people who are hating her have done that has made you worthy to say anything like that.Oh that's right nothing, she is actually doing something productive with her life and has written books that have helped people get through many problems in their lives, myself included. She actually uses her mind for things other than hating on people. And if you don't care about the video, don't click on it it's that simple yet people think it is so hard.
I don't have a problem with her weight, but I do find her incest fetish and plagiarism tendencies disgusting. It's kinda stupid judging someone for their weight when they, as adults, literally write sexual romance between teenagers and get off on the idea of incest.
@@ayladonson8627 the "plagiarism tendencies" accusations come from her time as a fanfiction writer when she used quotes from her favourite TV series, films or books as part of a "spot the quote" game she was playing with her fans. Also, the "incest fetish" thing isn't an accurate way to describe it. She merely created a couple who had to go through a lot before they could end up together (SPOILERS AHEAD) and Jace and Clary aren't actually brother and sister so it's not actually incest. Also, she doesn't "get off" on sexual romance between teenagers - that's a thing that exists in every YA book because it's a genre for Young Adults and Teens who like to read romance.
@@miaheffernan1676 first of all, the dark hunters thing isn't about fanfiction. Even though the whole thing is a mess, it's still worth mentioning. And even then, with the fanfic copy pasting she often never gave credit. She actually wrote a fanfic about Ron/Ginny (actual siblings) called The Mortal Instruments. Sounds familiar? That's not plagiarism because she thought of it but the incest thing though... And about Jace and Clary, they make out while they think they're brother and sister. And I don't see lot of reasons to make them believe they are in the first place unless you like it. And if that wasn't enough, there's also the Sebastian thing. Yikes. If you honestly think someone just keeps writing about incest because it's just for the plot, im sorry but you're a little delusional.
Ayla Donson I ABSOLUTELY agree with you and I’m a big fan of her books. This is exactly why the mortal instruments is my least favorite series of hers. Clary and Jace wholeheartedly believed they were siblings and they still wanted to pursue a (sexual) relationship. You can love an author and still admit their flaws. I usually separate the author from the art.
For people saying her books are not original, name one book that was released in the 21st century that was completely original with no tropes everyone’s seen, original characters and settings.
I've been reading her books since 2007, I'm currently reading her latest book, she is very talented and one of my favorite authors. It's nice to finally watch her talk.
@afootineachworld if you read further you'd know that Jace and Clary are not related at all and no other books she's written have the characters even thought they were related but like that for even a split second. And her books aren't fanfic.
@@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz so I guess the Ginny/ron fanfic she wrote that happens to be titled "The mortal instruments" never happened? Clare got off on the idea of forbidden romance between siblings. She found all this "it's wrong we shouldn't but I want to" entertaining and endearing. That's disgusting.
why am I only just finding this interview now?? omg I have been a huge fan of cassie and her books for so long now, she is my idol and I love her so much 🥺🥺
Abu Huraira I agree! And it’s something Cassie Clare does well, however drenched in magic on of her characters is, it’s always a way of exploring something truly human
Y’all never hear George RR Martin getting hate for being an author and fuller figured - concern about health is completely valid, but being insulting is just wrong, and assuming things that you have no basis for just demonstrates a simple need to create needless hate
She’s fantastic! I wish her series would have continued the movies! (I wish she had more control I really think it would have been successful) The tv was not true to her work. I am sooooo down for a new movie or series she has control over! I have always wanted to see her books come to life fully!
The movie was bull shit it was relay not true to her works full of dump ya tropes it was two hour how do you mess that up? the tv was more true to her work they had time to do more form her works.
Stumbled upon Chain of Gold back in November at 1st i was hestitant i wasnt sure if id like it , and almost halfway in, i got hooked and am more than half way thru Chain of thorns now and i think after chain of thorns i will go back and read all her other books 📚 i love her writing so much ❤
She is literally my favourite author ever!!! What a woman😍 I am so inspired by her writing that its got me thinking i can be a writer too...well wish me luck ig!
I honestly love her books…. Have all the Shadowhunter books The way she writes and depicts the characters just make them real…… Magnus is the best warlock along with Tessa of course Love triangle between Will Tessa and Jem was soooo goood and also between Matthew Cordelia and James though we kinda had an idea that James and Cordelia would end up together Just can’t stop talking about her books though❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watched the Series on Netflix about 1 month ago. I really like fantasy stories. I was reading Dragon Age stories. So I decided to read all the ShadowHunters book series. Now I can see books are much more lovely to read and imagine the World. I am surprised how the Online Series has been completed in 3 seasons while there are 6 books to feel the Story. Too many changes in the Online Series. I'm guessing maybe someday they will remake the Series. Until I keep reading the books 😇
Who the hell wanted to make this about Adults- pls that would have been the most boring thing and not a lotta adults would hv read it cuz they have jobs and responsibilities and stuff-
I don't know how people can get past all the blatant plagiarism. Honestly everything she's written is just ripped off tidbits from different authors, down the the names of books and characters who have the same personalities! Mortal Engines series, Twilight series, Harry Potter series, Darren Shan Chronicles, Clockwork Princess... The list goes on and on.
There are more factors affecting weight than just exercise (there are genetic factors as well), and though your concern about her health is valid - we’re here to appreciate her talent as a writer
honestly i dont think that a proper movie/series can to justice for the internal devices or the last hours, the books are just too good

The kind of parabatai bond between Jem and will is so insane
Love it so much
And love how they can understand each other
I love how Cassandra Clare openly answer how she started as a fanfic writer. She's an amazing author!
No she is not
@@blueberryforest3823 haha! Hating an author does not require you to watch a long interview and make a comment just to tell that she's not a good writer.
Hahaha ... who said I hate her? And who said I watch the long interview and not just read the comments in particular yours and like to piss you off?
Arent you gonna battle with me? Come on I feel lonely :(
Yes, I love how she is a plagiarist. She's an inspiration😂
One of the most amazing and intelligent authors that I know - can’t wait to hear this interview!
Cassandra Clare is such an amazing writer, she has a beautiful way with words
This is true!
Exactly my thoughts!!!
I love how Lucie in chain of gold writes about the beautiful Cordelia like Cassanndra herself and Jane Austen did
A L you’re right! Nice detail :)

I would say that I find her books to be authentic. Like I think these characters follow tropes, but they are also authentic.
there's a difference between inspiration and copying entire paragraphs...
I've been reading her books since 2007, I'm currently reading her latest book, she is very talented and one of my favorite authors. It's nice to finally watch her talk.
What a fantastic and imaginative minds. BRILLIANT! And she gave us Malec!
These comments are horrendous. Clare's fame is derived from being a fantastic author and is nothing to do with her weight.
Danito I know right! Her emotional intelligence has created amazing writing

Well... her books are shite... but that still doesn't make her weight relevant
Harry Potter fanfic can only get you so far
thank you oxford union for inviting cassandra clare
why am I only just finding this interview now?? omg I have been a huge fan of cassie and her books for so long now, she is my idol and I love her so much 🥺🥺
I've read every Mortal instruments book she wrote, and it was the most amazing thing I've ever done, I absolutely didn't regret reading it
I know I'm a year late, but, her infernal devices trilogy was incredible!
Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality
It's a way of understanding it
Abu Huraira I agree! And it’s something Cassie Clare does well, however drenched in magic on of her characters is, it’s always a way of exploring something truly human
11:57 this seems to encapsulate this :)
She actually wrote something like this in her new book
For me it's an escape
@@zelpazz and that’s valid too :)

I'm here for all these trolls, obviously uneducated men, trying to insult a woman who is more successful than them.
Don't just assume they are all men.
Obviously you think that’s something wrong with her if you only came for “trolls.”
I think the moderator has no sense of interest in the author at all.
I started reading series in the TSC and the best decision I’ve ever made!!!! They’re all so good, I love CC
She’s fantastic! I wish her series would have continued the movies! (I wish she had more control I really think it would have been successful) The tv was not true to her work. I am sooooo down for a new movie or series she has control over! I have always wanted to see her books come to life fully!

Cassie’s books inspired me to make a booktube channel dedicated to this YA genre, safe to say her books have changed my life just a bit!!

I loved her answers she's so amazing!!!
She is such an inspiration 💜
This moderator seems less than impartial. Ms. Clare handles it very politely, tbh. Haha All love! Emma Carstairs is my hero!
Cassie is my favorite author 😍
Her writing is so good
The moderator was kind of rude
More than rude..she seemed kind of arrogant?
The book series which honestly made a huge impact on life were the Shadowhunter chronicles.. Thank you:)
I think people feel the books belong to them because of the connection they have with the characters.
Jesus Christ these comments
Der Schwarze Kaiser how can people be so crude right? There are those who don’t even know Cassie and feel that they have the right to diss on her!
@@galleryg998 Just the most horrific nastiness. What the hell have they accomplished in their sad lives?
Der Schwarze Kaiser who knows?
I am so happy to hear she has read His Dark Materials.
She is literally my favourite author ever!!! What a woman😍
I am so inspired by her writing that its got me thinking i can be a writer too...well wish me luck ig!
This was very inspiring and insightful. Thank you!
I love you cassandra clare ,your books are my life line. So so interesting
She’s a really big woman ❣️ I love that about her.
I love her...she is my inspiration
Great interview! Thanks!
Wait Cassandra Clare has red hair and green eyes? Sounds similar to a certain main character...
I honestly love her books….
Have all the Shadowhunter books
The way she writes and depicts the characters just make them real……
Magnus is the best warlock along with Tessa of course
Love triangle between Will Tessa and Jem was soooo goood and also between Matthew Cordelia and James though we kinda had an idea that James and Cordelia would end up together
Just can’t stop talking about her books though❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gostaria que você escrevesse estórias com Simon e Isabele.
Why is she born in iran because this is so confusing to me
Her depiction of a religious cult is pretty accurate, tho. Haha Jk #fiction

I'm shocked she didn't find a way to plagiarize her answers here.

I don’t know if this was sarcasm but she wrote Clockwork Princess.
How can you even compare will herondale to EDWARD!??? OMG GOD BLESS MY SOUL
PLEASE DO READ HER BOOKS BEFORE WRITING OUT BLATANT SHITS
@@Insane340 Her plagiarism is real. She was called out for it a lot and responding in all caps doesn't change it.
Pffffffff.............
Get a proper job like beneath the brick floor.
WOOF! WOOF! exercise is healthy.
Not a truer word spoken.
There are more factors affecting weight than just exercise (there are genetic factors as well), and though your concern about her health is valid - we’re here to appreciate her talent as a writer
Also, insinuating that she’s a dog is just crude
david lyon how dare u bitch!
