This is a transcript of the LIVE chat that was on the Mundie Momʼs website
If you have not read up to and including City of Fallen Angels and a Clockwork Angel DO NOT READ AHEAD. There are LOADS of Spoilers.
Q: Before CoFA came about, did you have another reason for Sabastianʼs body to disappear? Or was it always his “demon” mom who took it?
Cassandra Clare: It was always his demon mom. I wouldnʼt have wasted an important demon like Lilith if I didnʼt want to see her again…
Q: If Jace wasnʼt a Shadowhunter what would he be and do you think it would be the same with him and Clary?
Cassandra Clare: If Jace wasnʼt a Shadowhunter he wouldnʼt be Jace!
Q: Why was it that in COFA, Lilith was very the lead evil-person, and we have heard nothing of her before?
Cassandra Clare: We have. She appeared in City of Glass.
She was just called The Lady of Edom. In the scene where Clary sees Valentine get the demon blood to make Sebastian, he calls the demon “Lady of Edom” = Lilith.
Q: Which character, for lack of better phrasing, spiralled the most out of your control? Who changed the most/had a much bigger role from what youʼd originally intended, and by how much?
Cassandra Clare: I donʼt really know. They mostly stay within my control. Some get bigger roles than originally intended, like Magnus.
Q: ʽOld ties exist between the Herondales and the Brothers. We owe him helpʼ Has that something to do with Will?
Cassandra Clare: Well, itʼs to do with the Herondales of Willʼs generation.
Q: You wrote on the last page that Jace will/has forgotten Clary completely, does that mean he will run off with Sebastion and start a scandalous relationship? Or does it mean that he can still fight it but hasnʼt forgotten Clary and still loves her? I mean just because of their crazy blood mingle someone canʼt possibly simply forget to love someone right?
Cassandra Clare: *giggles at the thought of Jace and Sebastian in a scandalous relationship* Jace doesnʼt forget Clary.
Q: When you were writing CoFA, did you let your emotions influence the ending and all, or did you have a strict ending planned, if you know what I mean?
Cassandra Clare: I had a strict ending planned. I knew this was where everything was tending. And I was very much looking forward to getting Sebastian back. :D
Q: Does Simon have some persuasion over Jace like Sebastian does? Will there be a chance that Simon can actually help Jace?
Cassandra Clare: Simon doesnʼt have any persuasion over Jace. That doesnʼt mean Simon canʼt help Jace in some way, or no one can. But no one holds any sway over Jace anymore but Sebastian.
Q: I need to know… is Will gay? Because in chapter 15 in City of Fallen Angels Magnus tells Alec and I quote “My relationship with you is nothing like the one I had with Will.” So please help me, because Iʼm a little confused.
Cassandra Clare: Well, if Magnusʼ relationship with Alec is nothing like his relationship with Will, wouldnʼt that indicate Willʼs not gay?
Q: Why does everyone assume Will is gay?
Cassandra Clare: Because Camille uses the idea of him to make Alec jealous.
Q: What color are Zachariahʼs eyes and when did Zachariah become a Silent Brother? Will we see more of him?
Cassandra Clare: Zachariah? He has dark hair, dark eyes. The less mutilated Silent Brothers tend to be made more recently.
*laughs* I am going to leave Brother Zachariah a mystery — but he does show up again in COLS.
Q: Why did Jaceʼs skin heal so fast after Clary cut it to damage the rune. Did it have something to do with Sebastian being so close to him?
Cassandra Clare: The rune on Jaceʼs chest healed (gradually) because it wasnʼt one of the Gray Book runes, and it was under Lilithʼs control — when she died, it become under Sebastianʼs control. And now, so is Jace.
Q: If Simon hadnʼt become a Daylighter, do you think ANY of those things would have happened after City of Ashes?
Cassandra Clare: Well, SOME of them would. But itʼs a bit like asking why is your cat your cat and not some other cat. Stories depend on all their independent parts to make a conclusion.
Q: How long has Catarina known Magnus?
Cassandra Clare: Gosh, Caterina. I would say about 200 years.
Q: Is going to turn bad and like Sebastian or something like that?
Cassandra Clare: Well, it isnʼt going to make him good! He remains however in love with Clary. (And not in some weird way where he wants to kill her but he loves her. He doesnʼt want to kill her)
Q: What rune did Jace draw on Clary before she fainted on page 306? I didnʼt know that there was any particularly “bad” runes, on account that runes are angelic arenʼt they?
Cassandra Clare: Sure, but there are still runes for things like “sudden sleep” — imagine if you might need them in battle because you needed to knock out someone in pain.
Q: Will the rune Jace drew on Clary come into play later? Because I just donʼt see the point it why he did it when he could have taken her by force.
Cassandra Clare: Dragging her kicking and screaming off the patio would have been a much bigger pain than knocking her out.
Q: At the beginning of CoLS, will the clave know what has happened to Jace and Sebastian - that Jace is being controlled and that Sebastian has been brought back to life?
Cassandra Clare: No. No one has any idea where Jace and/or Sebastian are.
Q: I wanted to ask you if Clary had the ritual by the silent brothers when she was born, and if not why wasnʼt Claryʼs mind affected in the way that Jace was?
Cassandra Clare: Because Clary did get something that protected her, and in fact, it ties in with ID.
Q: Will you revisit Simon and his motherʼs relationship in future books?
Cassandra Clare: As for Simon and his mom, Simon has to reconnect with his family in general.
Q: Sebastian and Jaceʼs blood intermixes in the ritual at the very end of the book; will Sebastianʼs ʽpowersʼ that emulate even Jaceʼs (supernatural strength, speed etc.) be transferred to Jace — enabling Jace to do all those things?
Cassandra Clare: Too spoilery! Sorry!
Q: Do you think that society is really prepared to not discriminate against gays? and what was the motivate you to write a relationship love, starring a couple homosexual?
Cassandra Clare: No, I donʼt think that, but this is a large question, somewhat beyond my scope! I think we are making lots of progress, but since people keep voting down marriage equality obvs. not enough. Because I think fiction should reflect reality - especially fantasy fiction - and I wanted to write about a character who was gay, but the book wasnʼt about him being gay, he just happens to be gay. Itʼs part of who he is but not the whole part.
Q: Will Jace be cruel to Clary now that heʼs part Evil Jonathan too? Will he have any power over himself at all or will Jonathan just like suck the life out of him…?
Cassandra Clare: No, not really. Neither. He quite enjoys being evil, really.
Q: What was Camille going to tell Alec before they were interrupted by Isabelle near the end of the book?
Cassandra Clare: Youʼll find out in COLS.
Q: Are there any outtakes that youʼll be posting for us to read?
Cassandra Clare: Iʼll do what I can with deleted scenes, etc.
Q: Why was the release date for CP extended to Dec?
Cassandra Clare: Thatʼs the last question answered here:http://cassandraclare.livejournal.com/53862.html#cutid1
Q: Will we learn more about the “old ties” between the Silent Bros. and the Herondales as reference by the “younger” Silent Bros.?
Cassandra Clare: Yes.
Q: Cassie It says that one of the circle betraying them, or someone betraying Clary and Jace and the whole crew- who was it?
Cassandra Clare: Actually not sure if I said that or itʼs the cover copy my publisher wrote, but they mean Jace.
Q: Who told Camille about Simon and his mark? Was it someone we know? Or someone we will get to know in the Infernal Devices?
Cassandra Clare: Oh, Camille has all sorts of underground connections. Remember all Raphaelʼs clan saw Simonʼs mark in COG. It would just take one of them to tell her.
Q: I was just wondering what was the hardest thing to write in CoFA?
Cassandra Clare: The dead babies. Euurgh.
Q: I get the titles of the previous books, they all tie in but why City of Fallen Angels?
Cassandra Clare: The title: Itʼs metaphorical. The tagline for the book was “Who will be tempted by darkness?” and the book is about temptation and falling prey to darker impulses. Simon falls when he bites Maureen; Alec when he frees Camille; Clary when she raises the dead; and Jace, of course, most spectacularly of all. We all fall from grace, is the message.
Q: Why did you continue the MI story?
Cassandra Clare: Iʼm going to cut/paste here: I had indeed initially planned not to write more Mortal Instruments books after City of Glass. Two things happened to change that: One, I had written a plot for a graphic novel about what would happen to Simon after the events of Glass. When the graphic novel didnʼt work out, I was left with this storyline and nothing to do with it — it wasnʼt enough for a whole book on its own. However, while I was writing the first book in The Infernal Devices, Clockwork Angel, which deals with Jace, Clary, and the Lightwoodsʼ ancestors, the way events played out in it gave me the idea for a new villain and conflict that might beset the cast of characters from The Mortal Instruments, and connect up to the plotline from the planned graphic novel. Iʼve always liked stories where the distant past comes forward to affect the future, so, without being spoilery, when I realized I could connect the events of Infernal Devices to the few loose ends left at the end of Glass, I realized I wouldnʼt want to pass up writing that story, especially considering how much chaos I knew it would bring to the lives of Jace, Clary, Simon, Alec, Magnus, Isabelle and the rest!
Q: Everyone always asks about Clary and Jaceʼs steamy scenes, but will Simon ever have one as in depth as theirs?
Cassandra Clare: Ha! Actually he has a pretty steamy scene in COLS. But heʼs a vampire — his steamy scenes involving biting.
Q: Why is Magnus banned from Peru?
Cassandra Clare: I cannot tell you, but it had to do with a llama.
Q: What gave you the idea to bring Jordan back? Did you always plan it?
Cassandra Clare: I decided I wanted him back when I wrote the Simon graphic novel. He was always going to be Simonʼs roommate. The whole story got completely rewritten but that part stayed.
Q: Who was going to be Claryʼs Rune teacher? Will she ever get one? Does the clave know about her angel blood?
Cassandra Clare: Brother Zachariah. Well, Clary rarely sticks around long enough to get taught. And yes, they do by COLS know all about her angel blood and her raising Jace, etc.
Q: I wonder if Isabelleʼs finally settle down and give it a try to Simon, after the things she said to him about her parents. I noticed that probably she wants to fall in love with someone seeing her brothers already did. Would she try it again, but this time like exclusively dating?
Cassandra Clare: I think Isabelle is very happy single. That said, she might be persuaded to give serious dating a try for the right guy.
Q: Are there any other places that Alec and Magnus visited on their world travels? If so, are there any unmentioned humorous moments you could share?
Cassandra Clare: Well, after May 3rd, Iʼll put up the postcard story of their travels.
Q: Which sentence was more difficult to write: the opening or closing sentence?
Cassandra Clare: Opening. The end was pure fun, for me.
Q: What was Célineʼs last name before she married Stephan?
Cassandra Clare: Iʼd have to go look up the family trees — but it wasnʼt anything enormously relevant.
Q: Are the Morgansterns descendents of Jem. I was wondering because of the dark eyes and light hair.
Cassandra Clare: No, as Jem only has light hair because of the poison drug. His natural coloring is black hair and black eyes.
Q: Why does Simon have arrows on his back on the cover of CoFA?
Cassandra Clare: Who knows? I assume a callback to his use of arrows in CoB.
Q: Will Luke and Jocelyn ever get married?
Cassandra Clare: Well, letʼs hope so, but not until things are stable.
Q: Will you be releasing a book guide for both ID and TMI series?
Cassandra Clare: Like a Codex?
Q: Arenʼt all warlocks called Lilithʼs children? How come? They arenʼt all related to her are they?
Cassandra Clare: Because the legend is that Lilith was banished to Edom and warlocks were born out of her drops of blood. Itʼs not the case, but neither are werewolves literally the offspring off the Moon.
Q: Who started the Silent Brothers?
Cassandra Clare: Jonathan Shadowhunter started the Silent Brothers and the Iron Sisters.
Q: Will the Angel Raziel be making an appearance again in TMI or ID?
Cassandra Clare: He might. :D
Q: Will there be a graphic series?
Cassandra Clare: Thereʼs going to be graphic novels of both series.

Ένα γλυκό κορίτσι είναι από άποψη εμφάνισης και λίγο άχαρο λόγω της εφηβείας.
Και εκτός αυτού εσύ μαζοποιείσαι εύκολα 
Λάθος*
Τέσπα, απλά δε με ελκύει σαν χαρακτήρας, the end. 
Πάντως ναι, ο Τζέις διαφέρει από τους άλλους πιστεύω. Μπορεί να είναι messed up από τα παιδικά του χρόνια αλλά ο τρόπος που το χειρίζεται είναι ελκυστικότατος 
Ζηλεύεις που δεν είσαι τόσο θεός, ε;
