Zayn Malik has admitted feeling 'uNnErvED' about One Direction fan-fiction.
Releasing an exclusive sneak peek from his new tell-all book - the creatively titled ZAYN - the singer (turned fashion designer) revealed his true feelings on Directioners' enthusiasm.
"Fans would write stories based on me and the other lads and publish them online," he wrote. "I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty unnerving reading things about yourself as a character from somebody else's imagination.
"But it's cool to see that so many fans engaged with the band on their own terms like that. It's crazy to think that we inspired so many different stories and the opportunity for so much creativity from so many people all over the world."
But if there is something Zayn is really into, it's the idea of fans 'connecting' to his music and producing their own fan art.
"It's also weirdly touching to see how many talented people out there choose to apply that talent to something connected with me and my music. It's really humbling," he admitted.
As well as his own musings on heavy subjects like fan art, ZAYN will feature collections of personal stories, never-before-seen photos, notes, drawings, and random thoughts.
As well as offering readers an insight into his life and experiences, Zayn's fans are hoping he'll go into more detail about his two recent relationships, with Gigi Hadid and Perry Edwards.
