Since a couple groups are reading books by Cassandra Clare (or Cassandra Claire…it’s the same person), I thought I’d post a little bit of humor on the blog. Some of you may be aware that Cassie earned her reputation as a writer of fan fiction, in particular parodies and/or extensions of several fantasy series such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. CC’s early fiction still exists online if you know where to look. One of my all-time favorites is the Very Secret Diaries of the Fellowship of the Ring. The following warning is prominently displayed on the site, and I heartily agree:

This is a link to Cassandra Claire’s Draco Trilogy, her Harry Potter fanfic that she wrote and got in trouble for supposedly plagiarizing, if anyone is interested in reading it. It was taken down off all the fanfic sites once she became a published author, probably because of the whole plagiarism scandal, but some fans have found ways to put it back up: http://thedracotrilogy.xanga.com/
