At 11.28 pm on Saturday (I’m using the English time because Lizzie - who opened the chat - is from England) Cassie joined fans in a tinychat and chatted with us for almost an hour.

I copied the chat - with typos - and wrote down the questions and Cassie’s answers.

If you copy this please give me credit because it took me quite a long time to put this together. Thank you.

[12:30 AM] heronwoods: don’t want to ruin the surprise!

[12:30 AM] cassieclare: I liked the guide to the Mortal Instruments fandom. That was hilarious.

[12:31 AM] natalie: Oh btw Cassie I’m the one that messaged you :)

More compliments

[12:31 AM] cassieclare: You guys are sweet, thank you

[12:31 AM] cassieclare: Hi Natalie

[12:31 AM] heronwoods: haha thank you! Cat was so much help with the stuff she puts together!

[12:31 AM] lovaticshadow: Any TMI movie news that you can share with us?

[12:31 AM] cassieclare: Cat is incredibly organized

[12:31 AM] cassieclare: Hm,movie news. I’ll try to think of something they won’t kill me for saying.

[12:32 AM] cassieclare: I’m not saying anything about Alec, they’ve scared me too much

[12:32 AM] cassieclare: I think we have a Magnus though

[12:33 AM] cassieclare: There’s a Magnus everyone agrees on but he isn;t cast - they have to officially offer.

[12:33 AM] farrahkhan: Is he someone….relatively known??

[12:33 AM] cassieclare: Well-I knew who he was!

[12:34 AM] natalie: Will CP2 force us into literal therapy?

[12:34 AM] kd_uk: Will Lily dye her har for the film?

[12:34 AM] cassieclare: Is there literal therapy? Like, literature induced therapy?

[12:34 AM] cassieclare: Yes, Lily will dye her hair. She has really fine hair so she has to be careful, but yes.

[12:35 AM] catreadsbooks: Let’s talk about Tom Hiddleston ;) ;)

[12:35 AM] jess: Is there a set date for CP2?

[12:35 AM] cassieclare: cP2 comes out March 19. Sure, Tom Hiddleston. :)

[12:35 AM] catreadsbooks: Cassie, have you changed your mind about Thor?

[12:36 AM] cassieclare: Okay, Thor is still not my favorite movie but Tom Hiddleston is the best thing in it.

[12:36 AM] natalie: Ok guys March isnt THAT far away

[12:36 AM] natalie: Sherlock 3 is farther

[12:36 AM] cassieclare: I do love Benedict Cumberbatch.

[12:36 AM] taamarindo: have they cast Simon?

[12:37 AM] cassieclare: They have not cast Simon. Simon is tough.

[12:37 AM] stargirl169: Have they cast Alec?

[12:37 AM] cassieclare: Yes, they cast Alec.

[12:37 AM] spockistheword: Cassie, any chance that you’ll come do a full UK tour? We want you in Newcastle!!! <3

[12:37 AM] crispycavescene: yes Newcastle please

[12:38 AM] cassieclare: Oh boy lots of travel

[12:38 AM] alex: Is there any chance CoHF will come out earlier than September 2014? That’s soooo very far

[12:38 AM] cassieclare: CoHF comes out March 2014.

[12:39 AM] stargirl169: So the series will be done before the second movie comes out?

[12:39 AM] cassieclare: Yes, the series will be done before the 2nd movie, if there is a 2nd movie!

[12:40 AM] natalie: whenever I try to theorize it makes me sad <- not sure if this is the question Cassie answered

[12:40 AM] cassieclare: I don’t think anyone has guessed the end of CP2. Thats all I will say.

[12:40 AM] alicanteandidristhenews: HOW MUCH WILL I CRY READING CLOCKWORK PRINCESS?

[12:40 AM] cassieclare: Hopefully lots of crying.

[12:40 AM] dannie_kalifornia: I WANT JACE AND SIMON TO CONTINUE TO BE A BROTP

[12:41 AM] cassieclare: Jace and Simon do continue to be bros. But Jace has to be there for Alec in his sorrow.

[12:41 AM] catreadsbooks: Cassie, a quick question: where’s Alec’s parabatai rune, arm or collarbone? Thx

[12:41 AM] cassieclare: Cat, I would have to check. I think it’s arm.

[12:42 AM] alicanteandidristhenews: will fletcher the duck appear in clockwork princess…? :D

[12:42 AM] cassieclare: I think Fletcher is copyright to whoever made him up.

[12:43 AM] thatoneawkwardginger: Cassie, when you were writing CoB did you ever think that it would be a movie one day?

[12:43 AM] cassieclare: No, in fact, I thought, nobody will ever make this crazy book into a movie.

[12:43 AM] arianna: *Cassie, are you actually scared of ducks?*

[12:44 AM] cassieclare: I neither love nor hate ducks. :)

[12:44 AM] natalie: Did Jace/Tessa confuse you in some way? -> This turned out to be a typo

[12:44 AM] cassieclare: Jace and Tessa would not work out.

[12:44 AM] jordann73: If Jace has heavenly fire in him does he have to heal Amatis by…. touching her???

[12:45 AM] cassieclare: Hee, no, Jace poking the Dark Shadowhunters doesn’t fix them

[12:45 AM] rosamevel: Cassie, will we ever see a replacement for Hodge that will take up Clary’s training?

[12:45 AM] alicanteandidristhenews: if you could pair katniss for a otp in either TMI/TID which character would it be?

[12:46 AM] cassieclare: Yes, Clary has to complete her training. Chaos just keeps getting in herway.

[12:46 AM] cassieclare: Katniss?? Not with Peeta? Um. Jem. Probably.

[12:46 AM] scribeofstories: Cassie, is there a specific way to hold a stele?

[12:47 AM] cassieclare: hah, the movie people keep asking how you hold a stele

[12:47 AM] cassieclare: i keep telling them it’s a big pencil

 [12:47 AM] cecille3: There are many auditioning for Magnus? I love Magnus! :)

[12:47 AM] cassieclare: Sebastian doesn’t have feelings like normal people do. Thus he is hard to read. -> Couldn’t find the question, sorry

[12:47 AM] cassieclare: Many did audition for Magnus. The auditions are done though.

Compliments on Sebastian

[12:48 AM] cassieclare: Thanks. Sebastian is interesting to write, as he is …. not really human.

[12:49 AM] cassieclare: He is a creepy villian. :)

[12:49 AM] scribeofstories: What happened to Clary’s mundane schooling?

[12:49 AM] cassieclare: Shadowhunters don’t go to mundane school. :)

[12:49 AM] cassieclare: Ezra Miller is great. -> Someone mentioned him

[12:49 AM] thatoneawkwardginger: Is there a Sebastian in your life that inspires you for the character?

[12:49 AM] cassieclare: God no I don’t know anyone like Sebastian, I’d have them arrested

[12:50 AM] newuser2118: plot twist: jem and will become lovers

[12:50 AM] cassieclare: I don’t think Jem and Will hooking up would be much of a twist.

[12:50 AM] aliiikat: Say we get a City of Glass movie, how do you like Evan Peters for Sebatian?

[12:50 AM] cassieclare: I think everyone thinks they will anyway. -> Oh how well Cassie knows us ;)

[12:51 AM] cassieclare: Evan Peters is great.

A lot of Magnus love

[12:51 AM] crispycavescene: I would never stop reading a  book about Magnus

[12:54 AM] alicanteandidristhenews: WHO INSPIRED LUKE? HE’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS! :D

[12:54 AM] cassieclare: My stepfather inspired Luke.

[12:55 AM] cassieclare: Not that he is a werewolf.

Talk about sex

[12:56 AM] cassieclare: Okay, either in CP2 or CoHF one of the major couples goes to SC. Happy?

[12:57 AM] kd_uk: Will the film only have the first book or will there be bits of the second book too?

[12:57 AM] cassieclare: The film is just the first book.

[12:58 AM] kd_uk: Is Jem an only child?

 [12:58 AM] cassieclare: Jem is an only child.

[12:59 AM] cassieclare: Hi Brazil. :)

[1:00 AM] miseryline: Will we ever get some serious Magnus/Alec smut? We don’t really see a lot of them…

[1:00 AM] cassieclare: There was a bit more Magnus/Alec smut in CoLS. I have lots of angry mail about it.

[1:01 AM] fuckyeahclaryfray: angry mail as in…they don’t like homosexual couple smut?

[1:01 AM] cassieclare: Exactly that kind of angry mail.

[1:01 AM] aliiikat: How did Jemima stand out from all of the other possible Isabelle actresses ?

[1:02 AM] cassieclare: Jemima? I think a lot of the actresses did Izzy really tough and bitchy

[1:02 AM] cassieclare: And Jemima did tough but also underlyingly vulnerable.

[1:03 AM] lalala: will we see audition tapes ? :D

[1:03 AM] cassieclare: I genuinely don’t know if they ever show auditions!

[1:03 AM] cassieclare: Izzy’s audition scenes were one with Simon and the one where Clary asks if Alec’s gay.

[1:03 AM] alicanteandidristhenews: I like how you compare mortmain to a spider in CP. why did you choose a spider? :D

[1:04 AM] cassieclare: Why a spider? Because he’s at the center of a web of eeevil.

[1:04 AM] cassieclare: Like Moriarty.

[1:04 AM] justsumlilcunt: I still cry myself to sleep at night because jace is not alex pettyfer in the movies :’(

[1:05 AM] cassieclare: Oh dear, Alex Pettyfer.

[1:06 AM] cassieclare: Alex was offered the role, but he didn’t want to play teenagers. It was a long time ago to

MINI HIATUS until Monday evening

Hi there!

I'm Cat - Bookworm par excellence.

S H A D O W H U N T E R

I'm really into everything written by the lovely Cassandra Clare who I met in March and May 2012. I mostly post/reblog Shadowhunter things. I'm also a feature writer for TMI Source.

I ♥
