Kellen asked Shannon Messenger:

You've alluded to this in other answers, but I wanted to see it clearly stated. Is it okay if your readers write fanfiction of your work? (If so, I won't send it to you or anything, I promise. :P) Sincerely, a high school senior who LOVES Keeper. :)

Shannon Messenger Of course fans can write fan fiction. The only time it gets tricky is if they try to make me read it (which I can't) or if they try to sell it (which violates copyright and makes my publisher very mad)

Because Sophie has blond hair and brown eyes, she kinda looks like you. Was that planned??? Or totally random??

Amira asked Shannon Messenger:

Dear Shannon Messenger, Are you allowed to say what that legal reason is for not being allowed to read fans' writing samples? (I'm talking about the legal reason, not the fact that you don't have time.) I'm asking because if I ever become a successful writer I'd want to help aspiring writers, and hearing about this "legal reason" kind of scares me. Thank you!

A Goodreads user asked Shannon Messenger:

I absolutely adore your series, Keeper of the Lost Cities! I was wondering, which boy fits with Sophie the best, Dex, Keefe, or Fitz? My best friend and I have been dying to try and figure out who Sophie goes with the best, and at first we thought that Dex would be perfect, but then later on thought that Keefe was. I recently finished reading Exile, and even though he apologized for being a jerk, I'm mad at Fitz.
