A while ago I made a post of my favourite Rick Riordan tweets. I decided to include some more recent ones here:
Where are the Greek part of the 7? (On the book cover)/ They're inside the book.
Rick, if you kill any of the seven in boo I'm taking a trip to Texas./ Since I don't live there anymore, have fun!
Then where do you live?/ You know the secret underground SHIELD base? Kinda like that.
I'm taking that as a hint that you are going to kill at least one of the characters./ Don't. No spoilers either way. Not hints.
What would happen to a hunter who can not shoot? / They miss a lot. (But seriously, there are other important skills.)
If you're tired of answering FAQs why don't you just ignore them?/ I'd answer that but I've already answered it too often.
Will you be giving ARCs of BOO at Bookcon? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.
Are you ever relieved you didn't go see the movies?/ I'd be even more relieved if people stopped asking me about them.
Will Percy ask Annabeth the "Yes" question after BoO?/ "You wanna grab some Mexican food?" Probably.
Are you going to mess with Percabeth?/ That's kinda my entire career.
Will the Blood of Olympus have chapters from Nico's point of view?/ Yes.
(This one isn't particularly funny but I'm including it because it's exciting.
If a huntress likes a girl can they have a relationship?/ I'm not aware of a myth that answers this either way.
(Again, this one isn't funny but I think it's interesting.)
Rick, when will Percy say the L word?/ Llama?
Dreamed I was Percytrying to find Annabeth in a Sherlock/Walking Dead mash-up. Man, I woke up exhausted. Moriarty kept unleashing zombies whenever I guessed wrong on one of his clues.
Who would your godly parent be?/ I'd hope for Athena. I'd probably end up with Bacchus. Just my luck.
What about uncle rick 1 day wake up w/ the left foot & start to kill characters?/ I sense a disturbance in the Google translator.
AW! WHAT ARE YOUR ANIMALS CALLED?/ The one on the left is called a "cat". The one on the right is a "dog".
You are much too intelligent for this world./ Given the world, this may not be much of a compliment.
I dreampt about you. You were really nice, but you seemed exausted by the deadlines./ Nice? I dunno. You sure it was me?
Trying to get my bro to read Percy Jackson. Can you tell him it's good?/ Tell him he's not allowed. Then he might. :)
Why did you choose Iapetus to be Bob and not the other Titans?/ Because reasons.
My friend and I said your name in a book store and a group of girls started to scream./ In horror... or?
I heard you were gonna kill someone off D:/ I heard you believe random internet rumors. D:
Where can you buy Camp Half-Blood shirts?/ They are available at the camp store. Two golden drachma each. Although the Stoll brothers can sell you some cheaper ones that, uh, "fell off the truck".
why r u making us wait for The Blood of Olympus?/ Just to be mean. Has nothing to do w/ needing to write the book.
How is Nico 14 if he was 10 when we met him 3 years ago?/ Percy says "he looks like he was about 10." Doesn't mean he was. PJO is all from Percy's point of view. As Annabeth will tell you, Percy isn't the most astute observer.
Is this an excuse for some of your mistakes?/ Me? Mistakes? As if!
Can you believe somebody said the you died because it's April 1st?/ You mean I didn't die? Phew, that's a relief.
Will anything happen to Percy in BOO?/ the whole book = Just 500 pages of the seven demigods sitting in the mess hall eating nachos
I'd like to see a PJ park in NY how about u? /Oh, they have one. I's called central park. Pretty nice.
it's Nico a short for something? /No, he's about average height.
I've heard a lot of ways people pronounce Thalia's name... How do you pronounce it? /I say "Thalia" #helpful
you're not planning to kill anyone in blood of olympus right /*discreetly hides chainsaw* Who, me? Why do you ask?
If percy and annabeth have a child is it demigod or just human? /Could be a horse. You never know w/mythology.
I'm a trainee teacher (3/7 year-olds), any words of advice? /3-7 year-olds?? RUN!!!!!!
I hope Piper lives. Just because you're hated by a lot of people doesn't mean you have to die. /That gives me hope too :D
(The) Lost Hero
The (Son) of Neptune
The Mark (of) Athena
The House of (Hades)
I SENSE A CONSPIRACY!/or trying too hard
Maybe it's:
The Lost (Hero)
The Son (of) Neptune
The (Mark) of Athena
The (House) of Hades
The hero of Mark's House! Secret message!
Can you please send an image of Leo Valdex? <3 <3
You wouldn't kill Percy... right? / I keep trying, but that kid is tough.
what if monsters are out there reading your books? Won't they find camp?/Monsters don't read, silly. They wait for the movie.
How do you pronounce Riordan? /SMITH.
how did you become an author?/The lady of the lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur.
No. Actually, I just worked really hard at it for about thirty years, but that doesn't make a very exciting story.
Are you a millionaire from writing books? /Not sure. I'm still counting my oreos. Twenty-one, twenty-two. Gah! I lost track.
do you ever look at our tweets and think "lol no"/ lol no.
I miss the funny chapter titles. /Those are in PJ's Greek Gods too.Though personally I find titles like Jason XVII hysterical.
ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE ARUGUING ABOUT WHICH OF THE SEVEN WILL DIE AND NOKNEBBEBSN. /I would never noknebbesn my characters.
Will Piper be less useless in Blood of Olympus? / Oh, I'm sorry. Did she not KILL ENOUGH GODDESSES for you?
Would you like to be a Jedi?/You're implying that I am not already a Jedi?
How to pronounce Piper? /Good question. It's Sham-ah-lam-ah-DING-dong. Accent on the "ding".
How much do you earn per book you write? / Three oreos. With milk. My agent negotiated for the milk.
do you have a writing strategy? /You mean like a strategy... For writing? Huh, I should look into that.
how many languages can you speak? /I'm still working on English.
Apollo has spoken! His newest haiku:
