Dear OSC: Did you know how important Bean’s character was when writing EG, or did that come later when writing the Shadow books? I hope Bean is portrayed as much as Ender in the movie since Bean is just as important – if not more than Ender – in my opinion. Thank you for all your books, but for Enders Game above all else.

Why did you choose to make the movie a combination of Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow, rather than just the first?

Is there any allegorical connections between your Mormon faith and the fictional story of Andrew Ender Wiggin? Are there principles or doctrines of your faith represented or which inspired certain cosmic or fictional technological features contained within the Enderverse which you created? Is there parallelisms between Ender’s world and our world; did each book have a central focus on certain issues and themes of the day; I can find my own but i want to know the authors intent as opposed to guessing meaning at the underlying messages, you know what I mean? For you personally when it comes to philosophy where do you draw from to build on the morality of each and every one of your characters, but specifically Andrew Ender Wiggin? Which scripture by chapter and verse from your Mormon faith, or within your Cannon of Scripture, has been most influential on your writing of any work, but in particular for Ender’s Game and his ensuing story line in the following novels? Do you continue on planning to write more on Andrew Ender Wiggin or have you essential lost interest in his story? I personally find his story profoundly moving and would love to read more of his escapades in the cosmic scheme of things? If you did write more about Andrew Ender Wiggin where do you think you would start and what haven’t you said about him and his character that you would like to explore or would find necessary to tell?

I need some clarification on why Bean’s math equation in Ender’s Shadow was significant. I’m no mathematician, but I’m pretty sure n = 16/PI^2 – 2…which is an expressible number. Please tell me what I am missing because it is burning a hole in my brain.

Was there any particular reason you assigned Dragon Army the colors grey, orange, grey?
