I’d like to see some interactive games added to the website.

Oh good - I will go get out my platform shoes from the 70s - good thing my feet have not grown all that much!No we do not have a specific goal or mission statement stated somewhere on the site. The purpose of the site is to provide information about Stephen and his works (mostly contained in the core portion of the site) and to provide a platform for fans to interact with each other.
I may be wrong but I think Marsha said in an interview that there were sites popping up on the web that were using his name but were not really associated with him and therefore they decided to do an official one (correct me if I am wrong Moderator!)Walter, this is a good question. I think I even had the same question at one point (although I didn't post it). I remember when the website first appeared years ago that I was surprised because I didn't think King would want one put up.
Having a website is useful these days, obviously, and it must cut down on correspondence with the author. And it's great to be able to pose a question to someone like Ms. Mod. who can potentially provide an answer.
However, I would like to see the website leveraged a bit more. Why not offer exclusive stories to the site, maybe offer some game downloads based on King's work, that sort of thing? I would only offer this stuff on a limited-time basis, though, and perhaps sparingly, to avoid cluttering the domain. (As a side note, I would love it if King somehow could post, assuming a deal could be made, that -- and I'm struggling to recall the name -- F13 software, I think it was? Imagine if that were available for download? Or even that game based on "The Dark Tower" -- hope that isn't a phantom memory. These could be made available free of charge, but I would not mind in the least paying for them.)
You're remembering correctly, that's what prompted us to do it way back in 1998.I may be wrong but I think Marsha said in an interview that there were sites popping up on the web that were using his name but were not really associated with him and therefore they decided to do an official one (correct me if I am wrong Moderator!)
Absolutely! Thanks for the offer.If you folks ever do a game, consider me. I don't code, but I play and write, and have an impressive pedigree of juvenile time-wasting.
Oh my goodness! I'd love to read that one! That book 'read' like his earlier books (if it wasn't so damned good, I'd suspect it was a trunk novel, but who would put that in a trunk?)-- It era--and I absolutely loved it. Read it in two days, no mean feat when you have four kids, a deadline, and a tired-of-eating-15 min-meals BH in the wings (lol)The alternate ending was the bees knees wasn't it Spidey?
I wonder.........did that survive the old site and make it to this one?

You DID type on a Wang though, didn't you (way back when in the Dark Ages). I used to have a TI99 back in the day (the early 80s) from Texas InstrumentsI think we'd been able to convince him to join the ranks of the computer age and convert to a Mac at that point.

You remember those old computers? My oldest son used to play a game on it with a bunny rabbit - he is 32 years old now!One upmanship: TI-99/4A!
(I was five?)

I just got finished reading it Nice... but I liked the original better. Felt more 'true'. Good to see this one, though!Did you see the link to it that Spidey posted?
