I have always been delighted when told there was a piece of fanfic inspired by a book of mine floating about. I don't read it for legal reasons, but I'm thrilled to know it's there. Someone cared. Someone loved it enough to spend their free time writing about it for free. Catherynne M. Valente bookcaredelight share on social
You can't have whatever you want. But to a child who must ask permission for every single thing, adulthood looks like a constant parade of every desire's satisfaction. It is a heady and terrifying place. It is the Otherworld. It is Fairyland. In fantasy, we make this literal. Catherynne M. Valente adulthoodchildconstant share on social
Fantasy is my heart and love. And I just want to play in that garden for the rest of my life. Catherynne M. Valente fantasygardenheart Change image and share on social
I'm very touchy feely with my fandom, in part because they've never done me wrong or hurt me in any way. This is an awesome balance. I hope it stays that way forever. Catherynne M. Valente awesomebalancefandom Change image and share on social
