I am hearing much discussion among fans of the Maximum Ride series about their readings of Fang's blog. The growth of character blogs is an intriguing part of multiplatform storytelling because the characters continue to develop beyond the confines of the official narrative under the authorship of publishers/editors/and sometimes the author. It is really interesting to see young readers "interact" with the character through blog commenting.
