Gea asked Kristen Ashley:

Hola! I wanted to know, as an author, how do you feel about people doing things such as fanart or writing fanfiction about your work? like you dig it, or you'd rather people didn't do it?

Kristen Ashley Fanart, I love. Love, love, LOVE! I've seen a number of pieces folks have done and every one moves me greatly.

Fanfiction, I must admit, I do not love. I'm very attached to my characters, they live in my head and carry on even after a book is done (this is why you see them pop up in other books so frequently, they just keep going and going). It would be very difficult for me to read someone else making my characters do and say things that did not come from where they were created and where they dwell, my head.

So as for fanart - BRING IT ON! :-)

Fanfiction...not so much.
