But how do you feel about book!Wicked fans where Gelphie is concerned? I mean, Maguire himself did say it was canon.

...I have to read this book now.

(And get around to actually listening to the cast recording...)

Do you have a link to him saying this? I always thought it was implied, but figured it was wishful thinking on my part. I've googled it but can't find any quotes.

Still looking for the link to the actual article, but I searched through my LJ post to find the question in particular:

Q: There are many subtle hints in Wicked! at a 'more than friendship' relationship between Elphaba and Glinda. Was this intended, or just accidental? And if intended, what influenced you to create this relationship?

Gregory Maguire: I'll say one thing, which is I think English readers are much smarter than American readers. American readers never ask that question! But the questioner is correct. I do hint at something but I don't say exactly what it is and I don't say exactly how 'known' it is in either of the women. This is for several reasons but the main reason is the same reason I don't say specifically if Elphaba is wicked in any way and, if so, where this wickedness comes from. I think the whole point of a novel is not to do the sum and come up with the answer but to ask the question over and over again. How complex are people? How many levels of understanding and sometimes complication and contradiction can they have and still be themselves? Elphaba and Glinda could have a romantic affection for each other without even knowing it. They don't need to know it in order for it to be real for the reader and in order for it to be real for them.

Thank you! That is pretty much how I interpreted the book, too. I think I love him even more now.

...Wow. As cool as the answer is, I kind of resent the I think English readers are much smarter than American readers bit. Just because nobody asked it doesn't mean nobody considered it, you know? Jeez.

"I think English readers are much smarter than American readers"? LOL, what a cock. Maybe he thinks they're smarter because they ask random inane questions about shipping...?

Now I don't feel so bad for thinking that the whole of the book was an interesting concept, but not written as well as it should have been. :) What a dick.

Also, here's the non-official link:

I don't have the link from the Discussion Boards, sorry.

Thanks! That was an absolute joy to read.

Really? Do you have a link?

I don't have an official, link, but here's where I read about it (I think it's the 6th question down):

I don't have the link from the Discussion Boards, sorry.
