Message: If you could ask Gregory Maguire - the author of the novel WICKED upon which the musical is based - any question about his novels or the characters in them, what would it be?

Post your question here by 28 February 2008 and the iVillage editor will choose the best to ask Gregory and the answers will be published here.

My 2 questions for Gregory Maguire are:

1/ You've re-written lots of popular stories including Wizard of Oz and Cinderella etc. Which was your favourite story when you were growing up and why? What memories do you attach to that story?

2/ What was your reaction when they first talked to you about your novel Wicked being made into a musical? has anyone ever asked you about it being made into a film?

I have two questions that I'd asked.

1. Has anyone approached you and asked you about turning anymore of your books into films or shows, if so which?

2. Are they any more characters that you want to write about, if so which one's and why?

Message:

i have a question :

1) When writing Wicked, how did you conjure up the image of Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and did you base this image on anything in particular ?

2) I wont give away the ending to Son of a Witch but would you ever write a novel carrying on from where it left?

Message: Here's my question-
- There are many subtle hints in 'Wicked' at a 'more than friendship' relationship between Elphaba and Glinda. Was this intended, or just accidental?
and if intended, what influenced you to create this relationship?
