You might want to look at this. I find it rather interesting she named her 'original' series after her Ron/Ginny fic, especially her very heavy usage of incestuous themes in TMI... oddly appropriate acronym, no?
Also, I know I'm not the only one who's pointed this out, but the fact that most, if not all, of the Mortal Instruments characters are almost direct expies of the Harry Potter characters really turned me off from the series. Jace is the most egregious example, being almost identical in look and character to Draco Malfoy and Clary being a Sued-up Ginny, Alec being Harry, Lucian being Remus, Valentine being a Voldemort/Lucius mashup, and Isabelle being her Draco Trilogy's Blaise Zabini.
Also, fun fact, you know that story Jace told Clary about the falcon? Taken almost word-for-word from the Draco Trilogy. Now, where have we heard of something like this before...?
