Longtime fan eagerly awaiting the next Fangirl manga release is wondering, when you wrote Cath, were you tapping into an inner fangirl of yours? I've always been a fangirl myself and come back to her year after year for the faithful representation. How did you get Cath to feel so real?
Rainbow Rowell
Thank you -- I'm so glad you're enjoying the manga adaptation. The art by Gabi Nam is so wonderful, I feel like I'm experiencing the book in a new way. Yes, I definitely rooted Cath in my own experiences as a fannish person. I was imagining what it might be like to grow up in the age of internet fandom -- to have a community to share my fanfiction with.

Hi! I’ve always been curious about how fan art affects your cannon images of the characters? Like when I first read carry on I imagined Baz the way you described him- like Andrew Ridgeley. Now I imagine him the way he’s usually drawn- with softer lines (Vanessa’s art)Has it affected the way you imagine the characters? This is not a question about Penny with purple hair (I know she doesn’t have purple hair- I promise!)
