Hello, I just finished jdate3, which was great, and i wanted to ask if you had a hierarchy in mind for the otherworldly forces of the series? Also How important do you think lore is to writing the kinds of stories you want to tell?
David Wong
I think it's hugely important that the lore be consistent and that the author have a clear understanding of it. But that said, the story is not about the lore, it's about the characters. The lore is just there for context.

So, I'm an enormous fan of your work and want to say that all three of your books mean truckloads to me! Thank you! That said, I wanted to know if any of your future books will have LGBTQA characters (or if they already have and my mind is blanking)! FVaFS had a really diverse cast in terms of race, but it felt like pretty much everyone was straight and cisgender. Is this something you've thought about at all?

With the upcoming 10th anniversary JDatE book having new content, is it easy for you to revisit characters in the context of an older story? Or do you find it easier to write their character development into a new plot? And do you have any future plans to revisit your other novels with extra stuff when the time comes?
