<P> In a 2011 interview for The Watercooler, Michelle Lovretta described her reaction to being asked to create Lost Girl: </P> <P> When Prodigy (our studio) asked me to create a show about some kind of bisexual superhero who uses sex as part of her arsenal, my first thought was "hell, yes!"... The challenge was to create a fun, sex - positive world that celebrates provocative cheesecake for everyone, without falling into base stereotypes or misogynistic (or misandristic) exploitation along the way...Bo has lots of sex, with men, women, humans, Fae, threesomes...and she's still our hero, still a good person worthy (and capable) of love, and that's a rare portrayal of female sexuality...It's also rare to have a female lead who is so honestly sexual, without judgment...I think the single element I will remain proudest of is just that we've been able to create and put out into the world a sex positive universe where a person's sexual orientation is unapologetically present and yet neither defines them as a character, nor the show as a whole...I felt it was crucial to also demonstrate that sex and romance aren't the only ways that Bo measures a relationship's worth, to give the show balance...Fans may have noticed that Kenzi clarified her hetero orientation at the end of ep 101...That line was necessary because...I was determined to protect their platonic - yet - epic BFF - ness, so I made sure it was written in as canon . Partly, this was to debunk the gay - panic cliche that bisexual people sexualize everyone, and are incapable of platonic friendship . But there was another, simpler and more personal reason: I think friendship is the fifth element...So, hidden in amongst all the romance and cleavage and threesomes, the Lost Girl Bo and Kenzi relationship is my own little love poem to all the BFFs out there who do it right . </P> <P> Series creator Michelle Lovretta teamed with industry veteran Peter Mohan to co-showrun Season 1 . Lovretta and Mohan left (on good terms) after the first season to pursue other opportunities, and the Season 2 showrunner role was split between Lost Girl writer Jeremy Boxen and another industry veteran, Grant Rosenberg . </P> <P> Emily Andras, who had been involved with the series as a writer and consulting producer since Season 1, became showrunner effective Season 3 . In an interview for The Huffington Post after the announcement by Syfy that it had renewed the show for a third season, Andras described what direction she would like to see Lost Girl go in the future: </P>

Is the show lost girl based on a book
