I went to FAQ again and read a question about his email address, which they said he doesn't have but that if you wanted to write a message that he'd see, you could go to this other message board that looks the same as this one but isn't, not really. And all the posts are from 2013.
I wish I could take a picture of it and include it here. It has a different picture than the crow. There are three crows, a basket and a pumpkin.
I'm trying to figure out how to use this site in the best way possible. I have so many questions it's not funny, most of which can wait.
But back to the board, I'm also not sure if I'm registered or not.
Why are there two message boards?

Does that mean he reads THIS board now? They said he sees messages on the board, which turned on my shy self. Actually, it's that I lived in Hollywood California and sort of got really used to famous people snubbing me. More of them DO than DON'T look down on regular people. I feel necessarily humbled in most of their presences.
They're not all that way. Bronson Pinchot isn't, but more are than aren't that way.
I met Bronson Pinchot once, only because he was brought into the Emergency Room where I worked then after getting a Grade 2 concussion on the set of his show.
OTOH I've never met Stephen King even once, so I have no idea if he's that way. I think he's NOT but I'll only know for sure after I meet him. IF I meet him.
I hope I'm making myself understood. All day so far, I have no idea if I am but I hope so.

Yer making sense to me, but that doesn't answer the question. I've yet to met sK myself, but from what I've heard from reliable sources, and seen in photos with fans, he's friendly, down-to-earth, and rather humble.

I believe he does still check the Board periodically, though I imagine it's not very often since he's so busy these days. I love the idea that he does. It makes me feel I'm in touch with him directly, and not just via his writing.

This is the current SKMB- the one you just posted on. Being the SK Official website, it has been known that from time to time he may have stopped by and read some posts. He's a busy man and could not possibly read them all.

I've been privileged to attend a talk/interview/reading given by SK. He is a warm, friendly, open, and funny man. Just look at all he gives back to his Constant Readers and community. All the little "perks" we get too. I do hope you can meet him someday and see for yourself the type of person he is.

I'm glad to hear it.

Don't you mean 'perps'? ;;D

Well, I might have been able to meet him one night and on another occasion. Something seems to get in the way. However, somehow I believe it will happen, I'll get to shake his hand and finally say, "Stop writing, dammit! I'm never gonna get caught up!".
Just FYI... Having gotten to shake his hand once, he doesn't seem to enjoy doing that much... Maybe he is a germaphobe. I mean anyone that has read (or written) The Stand might become one...

If you say that to him there will be a band of SKMB members that will grab pitchforks and torches and storm your house!!!! ;;D

No handshake? Well, forget it then. I guess some people don't care to touch strangers, however perfect; especially knowing it will eventually amount to hundreds of thousands of strange hands. I'd probably get tired of it, too.

He will do it, but just seemed like he did it to be cordial and would've been happier had I not extended my hand. Of course, you've seen me in person, so many people have that reaction to me.

Handshake, smandjake... screw that, if we meet I am going to launch myself at him with a Flake Special!
(Steady down there, this doesn't actually exist...)

Marsha? Marsha? Why won't Stephen come and visit me?

That sounds like the old message board - we switched to this new format on October 31, 2013

- that was brilliant timing, if you ask me!


(sorry if I am jumping the gun here - I am just firing off a response without reading any other posts in this thread yet).
