He will not personally sign your novel unless you meet him at a book-signing event or a con.
He does not have the time to read one of your stories or listen to one of your story ideas.
He will not "make an exception" for you because, then, he would have to make exceptions for everyone.
He really does not care if you dislike the ending of some of his books or the swear words in them. He writes for himself ...the honest way any writer should write.
The only way Mr. King can make your life richer is by reaching out to you with his writings. In order to keep HIS life richer, he needs his privacy and family time.

Just so that you know. Nuff said. :lurve:

OK, I get that....but surely just for me he would read my short story? Its great..maybe then he could sign it...and return it. Perhaps with a photo. A signed photo.
I'll make a deal. I will send him MY signed photo, along with my story...so its fair.

Now, seriously I know whats probably prompted you to say this...and really, isnt it shocking some people need to be TOLD this? Good post Staro!

I was just getting sick of people asking for impossible things on this board....and not being happy when they do not get it. LOL
I would like him to come to my house and install that big metal door on the garage that goes up and down :biggrin2:
(okay - second choice - Walter Oobleck) more his line of work actually)

They would so freak out on that! I would have to pull them off of the ceiling with a crowbar!
No, they might for a couple days. But it really keeps that cat hair down! My one cat was scared of it, so he'd go to the bedroom, the other cat felt it was his duty to wrangle it around and keep it on task. He would move as it moved. Actually, it's good exercise for him. He weighs 15.6 pounds and needs to keep his figure.
