I guess this would really just be for the moderator, but ... does Mr. King ever log in and check out the message board?

He's admitted to sneaking on every so often to read the posts but I believe he does so as a guest so that he can go unnoticed.![]()
Stephen King operates on stealth mode? LOL
well kings do need to know what their subjects say about them.
Nice to know he pops in occasionally, even as a guest, he has his own little "Ghost" fleet that he can sneak in with and view our posts. Makes me smile a little on a Friday the 13th afternoon. I work at a College where every Friday the 13th is a very special day and you need to dress in the "school" garb and all it does is remind me of the date. I am not fond of the number 13 in any form and I work at a place that celebrates it{Had a moment of rambling there....}
I saw him once on the old board. I was so excited. Poof he was gone just like big foot.
That's nice to know, at least he has a site that is thought provoking as well as being a truly welcoming place to visit.
I remember when King logged on before, years ago, on the old site. His name was bright blue like the moderators names used to be, and he was only in for a second. I think that was back before Jordan put the "auto-not-able-to-message-King-personally" script in, because I messaged him quickly at some point, (although it might not have been that night I saw him), and stated something simple like, "I'm not kidding about the magic. It's all I am. Say the word, and it's a done deal."
Or somethin' like that
I didn't message him again, and I hope I didn't give him too much of a headache by it. Soon after his account wouldn't even accept messages either.
Yeah, King has admitted he keeps up with the sites forums a little bit. But I'll tell ya, when I hop onto this site, and scan the topics, and there's absolutely nothing that catches my interest, I just close the window. And it has been known to happen here. I'm a slop-job really, when it comes to my focus in production, but most of the time when I'm even entering into a thread, I ask myself, "would King even care to read this?" I know a lot of it I wouldn't.
True, some people always have witty stuff to add, and can make a thread on the proper way to make pop-corn in a microwave with a pop-corn button interesting to keep up on... but if I were King, I'd be much more interested in ethics based topics, in political based topics, or in topics concerning the worlds I've created in my stories. And with a little digging, all that is right here in plenty.
If I were King, I'd probably approve of the site, and have to check in on a kind of regular basis...![]()
