When we last left out heroine she was leafing some thorny mahogany pickle to her partner-in-crime to go to her big movie premiere.

Well the first of the Mortal Instrument movies is out, ladies and gents!

While not doing terribly bad (Sony had nothing to lose apparently), it didn't exactly shine either taking in only $9 million through the weekend and $14 million at the moment.

So Cassie Claire, er, Clare, has had to do a wee bit of backpedaling.
Covered here but the important tweets are at the bottom.

You see, she didn't really have any control over the film and so if it bombs, it's the movie producer's fault. Nope, zero input on the whole dealio.

Will there be a sequel, given the budget versus the income? Will it matter? Who knows. Expect to see the Mortal Instruments t-shirts next month at your local Hot Topic and see Cassie Clare in her next adventure, Dancing With Wool!

(It could be wood again. Or Woof? Woozie? Dancing With Who?)

On the day of her movie premiere. Oh Jesus.

How it all started: ( Read more... )

So what do you think? I'm guessing CC just passed the buck to SRB because she has more important things to worry about (ie The Mortal Instruments movie premier in Hollywood today), but perhaps SRB, HB, JG had their points? Sound off below.

Oh and also just a head's up, a lot of those links providing receipts on CC's plagiarism and shady fandom behavior are disappearing. Fast.

Dearest, beloved, Fandom Wank.

I know you were looking forward to great excitement today. Some of you said words to me that indicated you anticipated fiery 'judgement' upon those who remained fresh and dewey white, those you call n00bs.

Anyway, you got today instead.

Stop anticipating things, we'll just break your hearts.

Sincerely,

Sepia P. Magpie, Esq.



PS: Use this post to reflect on how you could be better people. Or just fuck around in the comments.

shezan dislikes snitches, especially those snitches writing the Cassie Clare outing on bad_penny. She leaves vitriol to any who diss Cassie's good name. It's not plagiarism, it's practicing. Also, anyone who believes bad_penny is twelve.

This police state is alive and kicking. And knows that your IP has been caught red-handed. Posting anon at the bad_penny. For you see she's also a mouse, but she doesn't like it when the mod points out she's lying about it.


~toodles off to assign charlottelennox the new title of Better Than Bob Woodward~

ETA:

ETA II: She might finally like Charlotte's writing, but white_serpent strikes her as too much of a police informant. Ahh, like a snitch?

ETA with whine and cheese: wanna see screenies? then ask for them!=p

HP fen convention is currently going on in Salem. And guess who has speshul enough contacts that she got in without paying?

Three guesses and the first two don't count.

Let's try again, true believers. Since someone decided to bah-leet the original post -- apparently after a few people complained -- I'm reconstructing this, with a moral: Dun delete your posts without a good reason...it pisses us off big-time. So, for anyone unclear on the concept: please don't delete your wanks without good reason, and people bitching about them isn't a good reason in and of itself. Cause, you know, wankers and friends of wankers will always bitch.

Someone apparently broke into Cassie Claire's apartment and robbed her and her roommates of lots of expensive computer equipment. Not wanky, just tragic. She appeals to the masses to try to behave...a dictum they promptly ignore as some people ask about Cassie's ongoing fanfic magnum opus, to which maybethemoon and littletort react very badly. Tackiness begets ranting, and such is life on the Internet.

The original post also included a link to a comment about collecting money, and, while I'm too lazy to search the comments for this, someone did send me this link. Sounds eerily familiar, but I'm just presenting it here for y'all to comment on.

In one corner, we have </a></b></a>fandom_bitch, who decides to friend everyone on Cassie Claire's friendslist and then complain about her Draco Trilogy, using such wit-filled gems as:

"It'd be cliché to say one could fit a truck through the holes in the plot, but my mind is so numb after reading that fic, I'll go with it."

and

"And if you think TDT is great, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you sleep with a cute teddybear plushie under your arm at night while dreaming of the cute boy who sits two seats in front of you in maths?"

Needless to say, some fen are not amused.

I'm sure this journal will continue to be a veritable font of wank in the future.

fandom_scruples is making a list and checking it twice. 'Gonna find out whose naughty or nice...

It seems that arabe1la's little rant may have inspired others to come forward against the kiddie corrupting cesspool that is the HP fandom!

This journal is asking for nominations for those in the fandom who've been good little fanfic writers and have politely locked away their naughty Dobby/Twincest Epics, and for those who have been TEH NAUGHTY.

Of course, we have the first nominee, epicyclical, because clearly they cannot leave her out of their little plans even though they claim they pay no attention to her.

Yes.

Browsing the Scruple's f-list proves to be fruitful as we get to hear from:

tartanboxers who is very stupid confused.
perceval who takes, um, well, a different approach on how to rid the mind of such pollution.

*sniffs* Lordy, I love my fandom.

Hey guys, we got another mention. *g*

Harry Potter wank! Again...and again...and again...Bringing it to you just off the presses! (well, you know what I mean)

Some dares to ask a BNF when she's going to update, the BNF's fangirls get insulted for her. Feelings get stomped on. We know who the BNF is, and we already know the story. Or do we?

And if this has already been posted, may I take this moment to flagellate myself. *facepalms*
