Chris Colfer Discusses His Book, "Stranger Than Fanfiction"

[@l3slje]

his stutter is the most adorable thing :)

[@agathac3244]

Finally an interview where the journalist actually knows what is in the book ! Thank you for this video.

[@emmymatt]

Yaa. I once saw a Ben Platt interview and the interviewer described Dear Evan Hansen someone like a high school student who manipulates his dead classmate's grieving family for his own popularity. And Ben Platt was like wtf (in mind). Like everything that they were trying to convey was in vain. (if you know what I'm talking about 😂)

No shits this is a true story: Before I knew what Glee was about, before I had even heard of Kurt Hummel or Chris Colfer, I just knew that I liked books, and I liked fanfiction. I was walking around a bookstore one day, and the title of this book caught my eye in particular. I did a quick overview of the cover aesthetics and read the summary, eventually deciding to purchase the book. It was on my shelf for a while as I already had a ton of other stuff to finish beforehand. I had never paid much attention to the author's name on the cover. Then I binge watched Glee one day when there was nothing else to see, and I fell in love with Chris' character. I have finished glee, and I have found that Chris is not only a talented performer, but an amazing person and writer. Now this morning, at 3:30, I just saw the title to this video. I walked to my dusty shelf and pulled out this book that I had planned to read at some point or another. There it was, that name. Chris Colfer... Funny how life works like that sometimes huh?

[@malloryatack4988]

Abigail Jefferson I had the same thing happen to me, except with TLOS!

[@xandra5445]

Abigail Jefferson THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

[@afterallthistimealways1783]

Kinda happened the same with me but with TLOS! The series started when I was in upper elementary school and all my friends were obsessed, but I never got the hype. I saw glee a while back and Kurt was my favorite character, and then I connected all the dots. Now I can't wait to read the series

[@itsoldsoulagain]

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO BUT WOTH TLOS BOOK 5 !!! except i lost the book😭

[@taliheffetz3468]

Same that just literally happened to me low key

[@ashisreallytired9006]

24 minutes of Chris Colfer? Thank you very much

[@cloudyycolfer]

Exactly!

[@tribelen]

This!

[@livbug6357]

I love that he stutters in his interviews it's super cute

[@Carmen-gp4fj]

I love the fact that the interviewer actually knows scenes and pages and key details about the book. Other interviewers just ask Chris what the books is about but this guy knows what it's about

[@johnnyd.5466]

Chris has gotten so handsome.

[@eloujse]

What do you mean *gotten*

[@jesslouise8018]

[@trinalamoureux4535]

Chris Cofler, has inspired me to be the bigger person and he gives a very good example to all little kids and teens and he is a very good roll model and inspires people to be who they are .

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

Greati interview! Chris is so adorable and funny. I just adore him. I really hope Stranger Than Fanfiction becomes a movie someday but only if Chris wants it to.

[@juliaswain3328]

I just can’t believe how smart he is and intellectual he is it’s so cool!

[@potmki6601]

I've just read "Stranger than fanfiction" and it was amazing! Very fun, suddenly touching, and very in time for me, a young adult. I had a guess that author is an actor himself, but it took me completely off guard then someone said his name outside of book writing context. I haven't realised I already "knew" him even before I read his book

[@ktkennedy7421]

That book made me cry, but I still love it.

[@galeeichhorst2877]

"Stranger than fan fiction" was an enjoyable book. Own it and have read it twice and enjoyed it both times. Thanks Chris for sharing your writing talents with us. And all your "Land of Stories" books are excellent. :-)

[@otsukare6860]

revisiting this video after two years, god i miss Chris so much

[@melissacee4574]

I loved this book. And Chris is one of the coolest people in real life. Much success to you Chris. And hugs!!!!

[@jennym4882]

Chris Colfer has been such a ig inspiration to me and my friends for so many years now, I'm so happy that he is still writing. Stranger Than Fanfiction is such an amazing book and it will inspire so many people and I know it will get me through a lot of tough times. He's absolutely amazing, I'm so happy he exists

[@xandra5445]

so one day in late 2017 im walking thru barnes & noble and i see this book. now me, being an avid fan girl, thought the title looked interesting and bought it. it is still my favorite book, regardless of author. now i read it, like it, and put it on my shelf where it stays for 2 years. cut to this week. i just finished binge watching the show and its official, hes my first celebrity crush (i felt the urge to add that🤣). i was on google looking to see the movies he was in incase i wanted to check them out. one of the tabs said "books" and i decided to click on it. scrolling down, i see the familiar cover of my favorite book that kept me entertained during a rough emotional time. and i froze. i staired at my screen in shock. i know i sound dramatic (which i am) but this book is genuinely something that helped me get thru school that year, in collaboration with others of course, but it was still my favorite. after i get over the initial shock, i trip going over to my book shelf and open the book to the back plastic thingy, when i see his face. it made me want to cry knowing that such an influential book just happened to be written by my favorite actor. anyway, the point is life is crazy and chris colfer is the most handsome and talented man besides george Salazar

[@perizoeyildirim-stanley7120]

Omg Chris has been such an inspiritation to me and, hopefully, a lot of other people. All your books have helped me so much and your tv character real life person are just awesome. The world is so lucky to have you in it. If you ever read this, Chris, know that you are making a difference for good. I love. ❤️❤️

[@trinityxfinity3573]

chris is so precious🥺

[@marvinlopez385]

I'm just done reading this and it is talk about the issues that most people are facing nowadays especially teenagers. I cried in the end of the story. This book were just so amazing. Every chapters were remarkable like you want to keep on reading it until you finish it. I'm a fan now of Chris Colfer. Gonna buy more books written by him.

[@mizuhoinukai1869]

I was there and sadly, I barely understand what they were talking about... (because I'm student learning English). I watched this more than 20times and I fully understand the contents now!! Love you Chris from Japan 💘

[@annatimberlake7]

I am happy for you

[@yeeey8021]

OMFG i want to meet him soooo badly he's just so freakin adorable

[@trishdudley5549]

Chris u r so inspirational!!! Lov u like a brother!!

[@solfeldman1326]

Actually the land of stories get me into knowing Glee and since then I'm obsessed with the show and still have all of the land of stories books and stranger than fanfiction and I wish to meet Chris Colfer so bad right now hope you come to visit in Israel 😘😘

i just bought the book last August 21, and i'm freakin enjoying it

[@tikilocklin]

0:21 that girl in the front crying is me except I'd be crying while I'm passed out which isn't even possible but he's that amazing ❤

[@tikilocklin]

When I first read The Land of Stories I had no knowledge of who he was at all. I *NEVER* and I mean *NEVER* pay attention to the author's name and I rarely ever even look at the author's name if I'm reading a book. But something about that he had his picture on the back, or that maybe I just liked the way his name sounded, (still do ❤) but I decided to look him up. No clue why. At all. That day, my whole life changed. And that was only about a month or 2 ago. My life is *COMPLETELY* different now, and I'm currently reading A Tale of Magic, after having read The Land of Stories series once and a half. I got it 3 days ago, and I'm already more than half way through 😂 I love him so much and I always will. If I ever get to meet him, (which I hope to God will happen) my honest thoughts would be non existent bc I would be passed out. ❤ It would be a good 2 seconds though. ✌

[@vgg31]

I think I've read Stranger Than Fanfiction twice now, and I still cry reading the last few pages

[@VictoriaRamos-jz6mb]

I really want this book! I am a huge Chrissie Colfer fan!

Chrissie, you are a legend, love.

[@pegmiller4646]

I love your honesty and talent.

[@victoriaramos1972]

Some person: "Can we get Chris Colfer to play Jack in the Land of Stories movie?" Me: "Chrissie? Are you nuts? He's my boy!" Same some person: "He would've been a great Jack. Okay, then. Ahem. Can we get Austin Butler to play Jack then?" Me: "He's always gonna be Elvis in my heart!" Same some person: "Whoa! Dude, chill! How about Drake Rodger? You know that boy who was with Meg Donnelly from The Winchesters?" Me: "I don't think he would want to be Jack. He's still John Winchester to me." Same some person: "Okay. Would Chris Colfer be okay with Ross Lynch from Austin & Ally to be Jack? Or should I go introduce him to Zac Efron and Ricardo Hurtado from The Really Loud House? You know, the boy who played Leni's boyfriend Chase that she loved too much in that episode where Clyde takes over the Loud House for a day, then Luna sang about how Chase was Leni's true love and they got back together again?" Me: "Ricardo Hurtado's okay. Yes." Same some person: "What about Goldilocks? Is Meg Donnelly okay to play the role or do you want Dove Cameron?" Me: "Meg's okay. I'm obsessed with her." Same some person: "Alex and Conner?" Me: "Let's do Ava Liz Torres and Wolfgang Schaeffer." Same some person: "Deal!"
