'Fairy Tail' Author was asked if fans' expectations regarding certain pairings ever influenced the story's development:
"I never change my narrative because of readers' needs or expectations. I'm certainly happy to see readers discuss their wishes, but ultimately the decision rests with the author. I pay attention to this feedback, but I don’t take it all at face value."
"This might be a phenomenon unique to Japanese culture: what’s most captivating isn’t usually the state where two people are already together, but rather that period when they love each other yet haven’t officially established a relationship. That’s the most heart-fluttering stage. As for whether they’ll actually end up together in the end… well, that depends on my mood."
