Mary Borsellino asked C.S. Pacat:

Have there been any fan reactions to your writing that especially surprised you?

C.S. Pacat Yes! I'm always amazed by how creative fans are, by the fanart, cosplay and enthusiasm. I love seeing different interpretations of characters. One thing that's surprised and delighted me is the way that in art and fan castings there's a sort of Universal Laurent who rarely varies other than in hair length, but that there are lots of different, highly diverse Damens. I love the idea that each reader is experiencing the book with an individual and distinct Damen. I'm always fascinated by the way that the book is first written by the writer, and then in a sense written again when it is read by a reader, who brings their imagination and ideas to the story.

This may seem like a strange question,but I'm really curious as to why you started the story with Damen getting captured.I'm an aspiring writer myself and personally, I'd have thought to start the story before his capture, perhaps to gather some more sympathy for him?I'm really intrigued by your decision to start it off as you did.I don't mean to sound offensive ofc but I'd really love to know! Lots of love! xxx
