Chris Colfer Secretly Wrote 'The Land Of Stories' Behind The Scenes Of 'Glee'

[@ntyler71]

WAIT A MINUTE!!! Kelly, Chris AND Dove were all in the same room and they couldn't even give us a little song?! Man!

[@H-Vox]

Omg I'd love to hear their voices together

[@alexanderzamora5930]

As a teacher-librarian, his books are wonderful. I enjoyed them tremendously. He has a gift in storytelling.

[@artbytesia]

Ice Age Collision Course needs to take lessons from his later books.

[@jennyvoswiftie]

"The land of stories" is my favorite serious of all time. The books are so action-packed, so gripping and teach us so many valuable lessons. I would love Chris Colfer consider writing another series since I literally burst into tears when finsishd reading the final book cuz the ending was soooooooooo amazing:)

[@crowsguard]

he has no idea how much his books inspired and influenced me... the land of stories series was the first ever books i read as a kid that i enjoyed so much that i decided to start writing my own. i've already set my sights on becoming an author. thanks so much for bringing me joy in my writing :)

[@Ilse1503]

I absolutely adore Chris, this interview was way too short. Kelly, we need more Chris please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@user1982]

no we don't

[@Jaxbeth]

@@user1982 Yeah, we really do. A lot of us really love him. Just can't get enough (just can't get enough 🎶).

[@user1982]

@@Jaxbeth well bully for you! Can you say minority????

[@Anzy.99]

Dang that was too short!!! Also, agree with the comment I just read: DOVE, CHRIS and KELLY in a room, and they didn't get to sing???? OUTRAGEOUS

[@user1982]

no it wasn't

[@Snucky_irl]

The Land of Stories is my ALL TIME favorite book series! They brought me so much joy and taught me so many good lessons that I have been able to take with me wherever I go. A huge thanks to Chris for being such an amazing author and writing such memorable and amazing books.

[@earthbornparanian6252]

Chris Colfer is really amazing and he happens to be a major inspiration of mine ever since the Land of Stories was a part of my teenhood.

[@jeannie101]

THis series, "the land of stories" is so fucking good. I lived on those books in my adolescence and it's phenomenal. It's not like other celebrity books, it's so clear how much chris put into it.

[@anniepainter6879]

Chris Colfer is one of my favorite authors and I've actually met him at his book signing and the Q&A; he's such a nice guy and he inspired me to pursue writing my own stories.

[@MollyGrenci]

I actually heard that not only that he got inspired to writing those books but when the producers & directors of Glee was writing these when they were off set or on a break during filming some of the producers/directors discovered his love of writing he got the chance to write an episode of Glee the episode of “Old Dogs” on season 5

[@ReeniEspino]

Old Dogs New Tricks is a very Chris episode -- there are puppies and sweet elderly people, and Kurt flying.

[@monsep]

Bad thing about this interview: it was too short 🙁 good to see Chris again! #tlos

[@user1982]

PASS

[@vcab5319]

OMG CHRIS & KELLY!!!!! Haven't seen him in a while....

[@leannahardin6938]

im 20 years old and I just finished the third book and I love love LOVE these books

[@Indyrm03]

I will definitely be looking into reading his books in 2023. My trans wife and I are binge watching Glee (we are still in season 1) and today my wife looked up Chris and made a comment "that's awesome that the gay kid is gay in real life." I guess she felt a connection to someone in the LGBTQ community like herself. THANK YOU CHRIS FOR BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF and inspiring others to do the same.

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

Chris is my EVERYTHING! Wish this interview was longer. Still fun though!

[@vickytruckenmiller3856]

It’s one of my favorite long reads with my students. I read The Wishing Spell to my third graders and they BEGGED for us to read The Enchantress Returns.

[@SaraRose710]

Yo i have like literally loved Chrs since I was a kid. His voice his personality hes looks everything about him is literally just perfect love him so much

[@katiepooh2137]

Love him and those books! I hardly read a book or series more than once, but the land of stories I've read all of them three times!!!

[@Meimisaki2001]

I love the land of stories series. My favorite book series ever and am rereading it now

[@sillyperson1610]

same😍

[@makaylasilva31]

I LOVE the land of stories books i have all of them now 💕💕📖📖

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

How he still looks like he did 12-14 years ago on Glee is beyond me

[@JordiLA]

Really? I was thinking just how changed he is (like all of us). More mature and less skinny is now a Chris 2.0

[@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos]

​@JordiLA his body definitely changed, he got more muscular in the arms, pecs shoulders and back, and dare I say sexier, but his beautiful face has barely changed at all in the last 10 yrs! Take away that stubble(but really don't, it's hot lol) and he's kurt season 5 and 6 all over again! Time has been very kind to chris,he could easily pass for a man in his early 20s instead of a man in his early 30s! I say that as someone whose had that beautiful man less than an inch from me, his skin is flawless!

[@Marinlss]

​@@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos it's crazy, if he didn't get more muscular he would still look like he did on season 2-3 of glee

[@kathleenmansure7416]

I love Chris! Happy he is doing well :)

[@ichbingracezhang]

So writing is actually not his main career?! That surprises me because the books he wrote are soooooooo fantastic! After finishing the second volume of The Land of Stories, nothing can stop me from eating the remaing ones. I finished three volumes within three months and now am reading the fourth book.

[@frazzym1999]

A beautiful king 😍

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

Can’t wait for the live action series or film of The Land of Stories

[@Daisy-ok7jn]

I think the movie/tv series was actually cancelled..

[@moonqueen2k184]

Same

[@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos]

​@@Daisy-ok7jnnope wasn't canceled,just delayed. It was and still is planned as a movie from what chris last said. Tho he also said he'd be open to other ideas too. If it hadn't been for the fox merger screwing it all up, it would have been well underway and likely done and out by now.

Same here, though I didn't read the final 2 books until I recently rediscovered the series this year (along with a bunch of other fantasy series I liked during my teen years). I also happened to read the prequel series called A Tale of Magic which I managed to get on Kindle.

[@mrshelldonp2941]

Totally Amazing So, i bet Chris Colfer is a Greatest Legendary Famous Star like He is a Super Hard Working for a Good Choices as Well...! Well, Dove Cameron is a Beauty as a Amazing Lady like, As you know she is from Liv And Maddie from Back in 2013 - 2017 you know that Disney Channel Shows Too By The Way...!

[@zoe9190]

Whoever did chris colfers makeup, while it looks natural, didnt match his neck or blend it. From the side its quite noticeable

[@h2amster328]

chris is looking better than he did on glee

[@tatum635]

He’s isn’t as bony and is older that’s a combination for looking more attractive lol.

Dove was just there like she was like um uh um uh bitch why am I here😂😂

[@67jpt]

Why does he remind me more and more of Adam Lambert?

Because his face has filled out...

Oh is that why it's so badly written?!

[@selinapoochie]

Why so negative

[@interrobangings]

haven't heard his name since i was in high school 😬

[@bohemelavie1]

He hasn't done any acting since glee. He really threw himself into writing and has 18 published books now. He's successful, he just pivoted.
