A Goodreads user asked Genevieve Cogman:

I've spent the time waiting for my copy of "The Lost Plot" to arrive with creating some scribbles of how I imagine your characters. And this made me wonder: what's your opinion about fanart/fanfiction of your books?

Genevieve Cogman I'm very flattered if people create fanworks based on my books - it's fantastic to think that they've been inspired by something I wrote.

However, while I am happy to see fan art based on the books, I think it would be inappropriate of me to read any fanfiction. It raises the whole potential issue of "where did you get that future idea", and I think it's safer if I steer well clear of it. This doesn't mean I don't want people to write fanfiction! (I've written fanfic myself.) It just means that I don't think I should read it.

I hope that makes sense...

Jamrock asked Genevieve Cogman:

I enjoyed The Invisible Library and was hoping The Masked City would develop the characters, world-building and story-complexity. I'm only half-way through the book and this is definitely the case. I'm rationing the reading of this because I don't want it to end. I do hope that this becomes a series that develops more and more depth, a bit like the Harry Potter series (post book 3). Chances of this? :)

Recently I read The Invisible Library #1 and... I'm in love with Irene, Kai and Vale! They're amazing! Your plot is different from all the books I read and you write so well! I'm anxious to Editora Morro Branco publish the others books! I'm reading it in Portuguese, but I'm incredibly tempted to read them in English! Thank you so much for your story!! ^^ Do you want to be Llibrarian??
