Moth.

Hello, Gordon Korman. My name is Moth, and I would like to ask a question.

What is your opinion on other individuals headcanons, and have you ever thought of making them canon because of how cool (or something similar) they are?

Thank you. Goodbye. :)

Hi, Moth,

Thanks for posting.

Good question. Wish I had a good answer. My characters are very real to me, so anything added by one of my readers is fine,but I just don't find it necessay for my view of the character. Most of them, actually, are pretty close to what I pictured. (But not all!)

As far as headcanons go, I always pictured Charlie from Pop as a black man even though his name suggests otherwise.

And speaking of misinterpretations, when I was a kid, it took concerted effort to read "tentowners association" from Bugs Potter Live At Nickaninny as "tent owners" vs. "ten towners".
