personally i like the fact that i have to "supply" my own imagination/creativity to interpret the characters. Mr. Feist has always been VERY good at character development so it's easy for me to put myself into the story. with other authors sometimes they leave too little to your imagination and admit it folks...our imaginations and creativity lend to the "magic" of the story. if we did not use OUR imagination then all stories would be something relegated to dusty libraries that no one ever visited. just my 2 coppers...

Its your fans letting you know what they would enjoy reading as well as what you already put out. You obviously like the accolades that you get, yet you seem critical when a fan or two voice there opinion about seeing something you may or may not have thought about. Fans like stuff that never gets touched, look at the last star trek show. Despite the clamour of the fans it still got cancelled, same with firefly. And truly its not about demystifying the character but learning more about intriguing characters you have created and caputured our intrest with. So why not just say you would not write something instead of telling us you don't wish to be told what to write when it was a suggestion not an order, we know this isn't burger king and we don't always get it our way. Because if I don't tell you guys it annoys me, you keep doing it, and I have to keep explaining why I'm not going to do it.
