I probably shouldn't be this amused*
Information via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trollprincess, after the (recent as well as ongoing) plagiarism wank, it seems Cassie Claire's new book has both a teenage vampire slayer named Fray (as did Joss Whedon) and Darkhunters (which is also a series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, it seems, I'm sure crimson_keys can give more information on this).
People, I really think this could be absolute comedy gold, right up there with Anne Rice wank. The possibilities, the potential...comedy gold.
* Honestly, it's be amused** or angry because she's just another in a line of crap writers who have publishing contracts while the people for whom I edit don't all have on themselves but produce much better (and more original) writing. However, I try not to let such things get to me, because I have full faith in them, and the ones who haven't yet been published will be soon.
** Though I probably shouldn't be this amused. It's possible I've taken too many over-the-counter painkillers. Last night I fried my leg*** on the exhaust pipe of my motorcycle and it really hurts, but I'm still at work (though I left the bike at home), and trying to be able to walk and carry things and not scream every time something bumps it.
*** Yeah, I know, I've not had very good leg health for the past few weeks. It keeps me away from my computer, too, because by the time I get home I just want to doctor it, put my feet up, and not sit anymore. Last night I played Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem for a few hours until I had to do some professional writing. Tonight I am skipping the gym, because it's a lower body day if I go, and I tend to bump that area (the back of my calf) anyway when I work out, because I'm a clutz. I still have some professional writing to do today, and some editing, but other than that, I'm taking it easy.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to a New York nightclub with her best friend Simon, she isn't expecting to witness a murder, much less one committed by three teenagers covered with odd markings and sporting bizarre weapons. And she's more than a little startled when the body disappears into thin air. Soon Clary is introduced to the word of the Darkhunters, a secret cadre of warriors dedicated to ridding our world of demons. And she's introduced with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque demon. How could a mere human surve that attack and kill a demon? The Darkhunters would like to know...
Really, could she be any more blatant?

Part of me just cannot believe she would be so stupid after the whole fanfic plagiarism situation. Part of me is so frustrated that crap like this is being published. Part of me is highly amused and can't wait for all the fall out and professional drama to begin.
I'm going to try to stick with that last part more than the others.
Still, sometimes it's just unbelievable. Thank you for the updated information.

Seriously, if she's got a contract, you should have no trouble. I can only imagine how crap her Draco Trilogy is if you take out everything that doesn't belong to her. Basically, take away the Harry, the Buffy, the Pratchett, the Pamela Dean, the Blackadder and Red Dwarf... what do you have... chick-lit. One girl, choosing between the nice boy and the bad boy. Wowee.
CC's crap, you're ace. Look, laugh, feel smug.

We'll get there, though. We just need to make contacts.
