==Canon Overview==
===Development===
During her youth, Maas wrote fanfiction and at age sixteen began writing the first draft of Throne of Glass. The story was originally known as Queen of Glass and was inspired by Disney's Cinderella.
She uploaded the first chapters to FictionPress, a sister site to the famous Fanfiction.net, and it later became one of the most popular stories on the site with a small fanbase of its own. She continuously expanded on the story throughout the next six years until she removed the story in December 2008 with plans to get the work published. Maas has stated that the series developed into more of an original epic fantasy during revisions prior to publication.
Bloomsbury Publishing acquired the novel in 2010. Throne of Glass, the first book of the series, was released in 2012.

==Fandom==
There is somewhat of a combined Sarah J. Maas fandom, as her following also formed a fandom around A Court of Thorns and Roses, her second young adult/new adult series. ACOTAR was released in 2015 and is a retelling of multiple myths and fairy tales, including Beauty and the Beast. Much of the Throne of Glass fandom also shares ACOTAR related content, and vice versa.

===Fanart===
Fanart is common and is usually posted on Tumblr and/or DeviantArt. Largely due to the series' medium as literature, official artwork of the series is limited, and therefore fanart is typically subjective and based on the artist's personal image of the character. The main character's appearance also changes as she discovers her heritage and powers.

==Anti-fandom==
The Throne of Glass series, and Maas' other series, A Court of Thorns and Roses, have both been heavily criticized by fans for a lack of diversity and negative depictions of LGBT and POC characters. This has been raised in meta posts by book bloggers and Tumblr users. An anti fandom also exists, primarily on tumblr, where users discuss the issues in Sarah J. Maas's writing. Often discussion and meta focus on various topics including homophobia within the series, writing issues, POC treatment, toxic masculinity, unhealthy relationships and possible misogyny.
==="Antis" vs "Stans"===
On Tumblr, users who oppose and critique Sarah J Maas's writing are typically referred to as antis. The "anti" fandom particularly rose to prominence in 2017 after the release of A Court of Wings and Ruin. Due to the controversy, the anti fandom grew in number and popularity. However, in turn, members of the anti fandom gained hate and abuse from some fans of ACOTAR and Throne of Glass. These particular fans were nicknamed "stans" by the anti fandom.
