have i ever told you that my college roommate met and interviewed Stephen King when she was in high school

it’s actually a good story so I’m gonna tell it and then actually go to bed

ok so my roommate worked on her school paper in high school or something like that. one assignment was for them to interview someone and she’s like “ok, stephen king is my favorite writer so i’m gonna interview him”

and the advisor or whoever is like “lmao ok good luck with that” and my roommate, who is very small and nice looking and seems non-threatening, was just like “i’m gonna interview Stephen king”

so she literally wrote him a letter and was like “hey dude you’re my favorite author, my advisor is a dick, let me interview you please”

and he legit came to New Jersey, like actually spent time and came down here, and let her interview him just to prove to her fuckwad advisor that she could. apparently Stephen king loves kids (despite putting them through horrible things in his novels) and has a really good sense of humor

so anyway, that’s how my roommate met and interviewed Stephen king

when Stephen King worked as a teacher, he worked at the high school I attended (granted, long before I went there), and everything I’ve ever heard about him second-hand points to him doing exactly that

He still sells the movie rights to short stories for a dollar apiece so that film students can afford to adapt them for assignments.

He wrote me a letter in 4th grade when I wrote to him to tell him he was my favorite author. We had to send our favorite author a list of questions as an assignment at school.

Most people got a form letter back from a publisher… but he hand wrote a letter to me answering all of my questions and then some. He even told me he was concerned that I was reading his books when I was so young.

He is the bees knees.
