You lost me at sociopath. Explain?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, grow up and get over it.

If can stop writing over something so silly you were never a writer to begin with. Writers can't stop writing even if want to. Stories are always popping in their heads.

[(Anonymous)]

Who's the land whale?

[(Anonymous)]

*pops popcorn*

That said, if it hits the news that someone vandalized a B&N and started setting fire to a bunch of copies of TMI, I've probably finally snapped too.

[(Anonymous)]

Your rage is justified, anon, but letting someone like her steal your joy and ambition is the same as letting her win.

[hwc]

I'm starting to think that all the OTT CC/TMI hate secrets are just one very angry anon. Or one very bored troll looking for an easy wank. One of the two.

Please!

[(Anonymous)]

I hope one day someone will explain the huge wank about this. I came into fandom too late to understand.

Maybe today will be the day.

Come on! Someone surely want to go through everything that happened!!!!

I have no opinion on this writer, BUT

[chardmonster]

If the sum of what you've gotten from your teachers and professors is "words are beautiful! You will get published because of your virtue! People love beautiful books!" you are a shitty fucking student. You are the English Major stereotype other english majors are embarrassed by.

[littlestbirds]

Source? For any of this? because I've asked for a source before and I got nothing. I just think this level of vitriol is far more about what people get out of hating her than it is about anything she's actually done.

[(Anonymous)]

Shit from awful people gets published no matter what kind of art it is. Giving up because someone who has these qualities got published, is pretty dumb.

[queerwolf]

Your own fault if you let her ruin things for you like that. Lots of shitty authors get published and there's no reason to let one out of all the gazillions stop you.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't listen to people saying 'your own fault' OP. You can't help when someone makes you so sick it sort of takes away your will to live.

Just try to get over her and enjoy the things you enjoy for yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

I think she's a horrible writer, and plagiarism sucks. That being said, the reactions to her are so extreme compared to the things that she did that I've started having the urge to defend her. And I don't want that urge. But the rabid hate is getting old. I've yet to see evidence that she plagiarized in her published works, and even so plagiarism while a bad thing isn't something that deserves quite this level of hate.

[thene]

Why her? I mean, aren't there shittier people who've got big for shittier reasons? Not defending her but I'm a bit more creeped out that Roman Polanski can still make money than that Cassie Claire can. It's also not exactly news that having personal connections far outweighs talent when it comes to achieving artistic fame.

And why you? I know I know, it's sometimes hard NOT to compare oneself to other writers but at the end of the day her life has nothing to do with yours. Her being famous has zero effect on you or your work. Let it the fuck go.

[inkdust]

Do what brings you joy. If writing doesn't bring you joy, don't do it. But if it does, don't let the people who are only interested in working the system take that away from you. Don't let anyone take that away from you.

as another writer

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe try turning all that rage into motivation?

[(Anonymous)]

Pfft. If I let every writer whom I hate (a good number of them) make me stop writing, I would have stopped writing years ago.

Dar she blows!

[(Anonymous)]

Man the harpoons!

[dragonimp]

She's hardly the first terrible person or terrible writer to get published, and hardly the first to get a fanbase. Publishers don't care what's good, they care about what will sell.

Use it as motivation to write something better and show them up.

[forgottenjester]

Really? Because shit like that gives me hope of getting published. If she can then I think I'm doing okay.

If you wanna quit, fine. If you don't, don't. Don't base your life choices off of someone else. Do what you want and what is best for you, specifically.

[(Anonymous)]

Seeing her books at my grocery store has made me give up writing.

And nothing of value was lost.

[(Anonymous)]

I always hated Cassie Clare (and was attacked by one of her sidekicks to the point I had to dump my old fandom ID and start over) but every time someone makes stupid fat jokes about her I hope she earns another million dollars from her shitty books. $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ka-ching!

[(Anonymous)]

OP, if you want to make a living as a writer, or have anyone else actually read your "beautiful words", you need to grow a thicker skin.

[(Anonymous)]

It's odd how the hatedom for her seems to have ballooned in the past year or so, to the point that there are secrets just based in hate of her and nothing to do with her actual stories (most of the time). Like the fiction isn't even the focus of most of these secrets, it's the person herself. I almost never hear anyone sing her praises. A hatedom of something that doesn't actually have a fandom...

My theory is that, since the Twilight fandom is pretty much out of the mainstream with the movies and books all being over, the anti-SMeyer fans joined in with the anti-CCs that already existed. They created a new, superpowered hatedom, with little more than an apparently flopped movie to spark its birth. Who knows what fandom they'll flock to hate next... (insert evil laugh)
