P.S. I know that Donald E. Westlake used the pseudonym Richard Stark. That's where Uncle Stevie got half of his Richard Bachman pseudonym (the other half being Bachman-Turner Overdrive).

Horrifying!!!Hello Erudite Scholar...
Welcome to SKMB! Surely there is no guessing in knowing you are a SK fan!!! What is your favorite book?
Hope you like it here.. stay awhile.. keep posting!!
Would you like a balloon? IT floats! We all float down here... you will float to!
...many welcomes to you...and just as a personal aside-could you please back off on the "Uncle Stevie" reference?....we graybeards use it from time to time, but it makes him sound rather juvenile-which is why it's an infrequent pet name....not being nasty, just asking as a favor.....

We can probably just let this go now.I'm going to have to say no to that. Hell no. The man himself made up that one. It isn't some secret incantation that only you and "longtime" fans are allowed to use. If this makes us enemies, so be it. If you want to make nice, you could do me a favor: stop making ridiculous requests of strangers.
P.S. UNCLE STEVIE!!!
I won't speak for GNTL, but because Marsha (Ms. Mod) has been Stephen's personal assistant for over 25 years now, I feel confident in letting you know that he does prefer "Steve" (from people that actually know him) and doesn't like "Stevie" so much.I suspect his real beef might not be with the avuncular title of "Uncle" which connotes wisdom (and a bit of mischief) but with the name Stevie. Well Stevie had better get used to being a Stevie already. Because he sure as hell ain't no Steve. And nobody really likes their name anyway.
But you kind of lost me here!I haven't read everything by Steve and I'm not sure I'd care to.
Thank you.. I forgot.The title has been altered to End of Watch now.
Love your avatar. Welcome.

I do have to ask, (out of curiosity and also as a moderator) are you here (on the website) to contribute to discussions, or are you more interested in posting inflammatory remarks? (we do have a 'no flaming' policy on the SKMB)Of course he does, ha. You have proven nothing. If Stephen King is anything, he is a nerdy bookworm. Nerdy bookworms named Stephen don't ever get to be Steves. They can become rich and successful and insist on being called Steve, but they will never really fully be one. I grew up with a Steve; by sophomore year of high school he was spending his snow days banging older girls while his mom was out.
No problem!Thank you.. I forgot.

Just because you don't have all of the facts doesn't mean that something isn't true.I came to ask questions and contribute, but I feel I have no choice but to call bullshit on bullshit when I see it. And my point still stands: a Steve gets the girls in high school, a Stevie gets wedgies. And who exactly was I flaming?
P.S. Are you really only 11 years old? lol
Not a lot of fun, no...I guess the moderators are having fun with you. Giving you enough rope to hang. Too bad. You seem like a smart person. I don't find it funny though..... Joker. Not funny at all.
I fish a lot. When nothing is happening, no life... We troll. Sooner or later something comes up.
I hate trolling. Takes no talent. Nice people here. Nice people that are funny, intelligent and respectful.
