So this is the beginning of the end...

Jesus Christ, Cassie Claire got published. And it's drivel. But at least it looks like it's her own drivel instead of blatantly plagerized drivel. :Db Well, you never know... there could be plagerism. I'm sure someone will buy the book just to tell us.

There is no way you're going to convince me that the world won't end in 2012 anymore.

She is/was a BNF in the Harry Potter fandom. She also wrote "The Very Secret Diaries" for Lord of the Rings. She's most widely known for being a blatant plagerizer, having legions of fangirls to mob and attack those who disagree with her, and also scammed her "fans" and got them to send her things like iPods and computers (?).

She's been on Fandom Wank and such sites alot. And she has a whole article on fanhistory.com

Damn. You've got to wonder how on earth she could pull the iPod/Computer scam.

And why she still had legions of fangirls even after getting caught plagiarizing.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

She never even apologized for the plagerism, just saying that she "might have" read the book series she plagerized heavily from, and watches the popular shows she lifted her best quotes from, but that she "didn't mean to" use them in her fics.

... her Draco series has now been heavily edited and there are literally footnotes at the end of every chapter citing the quotes. She never discussed the plot/writing plagerism from the book series.

And she's CASSANDA CLAIRE. Of COURSE the fangirls are on her side because EVERYONE ELSE IS LYING AND JEALOUS OF HER LEAVE HER ALONE.

>_>;; Seriously, google her. It's revolting.

I did. It's amazing how she keeps fans after being guilty of theft many times, whereas Tom Cruise lost fans because he gave an opinion about something and showed just how low his IQ really is.

Cassie Claire must be really convincing.

Or the people that follow her don't want to admit they were stupid now that it's been proven they're stupid. >_>;;

Re: iPod/computers. She claimed her house got broken into and her laptop and those of her roommate and boyfriend as well as various other items were stolen. She asked for donations from her flist, for without a laptop she could not finish writing her fic. Apparently, so much money was sent that she got three new laptops and an ipod from the whole thing. No one really knows if she was actually robbed, though.

[kwycksylver.livejournal.com]

Still, if most any of us posted about losing our computers one way or another, all we'd get is sympathy and well wishes.

[stardustmajick.livejournal.com]

Such is the inherit insanity of the Harry Potter fandom. A lot of the people who donated probably got in trouble with their parents for using their bank cards without permission, actually. What amazes me is that the same person who promoted CC's "charity" refused to promote a woman who was asking for donations so she could have a life-saving surgery she couldn't afford. And THAT woman had proof that her story was completely legit. *shakes head*

It is weird what people will give money for and what they'll turn their backs on.

BUT FICS ARE SO IMPORTANT OMG AND SHE WRITES LEATHER PANTS!DRACO.

Actually, iirc, the ipod was simply because she wanted one. -_-

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Was that it? I remember Laptopgate, but I also remembered a separate iPod thing.

[dragynville.livejournal.com]

Yep. She was all (publically) emo about not having one and, I believe, the same person who organized the laptop drive collected donations to buy her an ipod. :p

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

... *barf*

*wipes mouth*

Sorry about that. >_>;;

[dragynville.livejournal.com]

SO understandable. :p

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! I remember that one happening from the periphery. I was amazed she got so much 'help'.
