Okay, I'm not on Twiitter, but I love looking at Rick Riordan's tweets. He says the funniest things. Here's a list of some of my favourites:
"Thinking the next trend should be Utopian fiction. 'Everything was perfect. And then, suddenly, everything was still perfect.'"
"I like to sprinkle a few typos in the first edition because it makes them more valuable to collectors. It's all part of the service."
"Rowling is better than you./LOL. Rowling is better than everyone. What's your point?"
"Do you do any script-writing?/I do not. At one point I offered to try rewriting the first script. They were not interested."
"You're the only author who doesn't like his book's movie adaptation./You think so? You should talk to more authors."
"Your irony sometimes sounds like arrogance./Only sometimes??? Must. Try. Harder."
"Hey Rick, is it true that you tweeted that Nico's gonna die in the BoO?/You really think I'd tweet a spoiler that huge?"
"Screen shots of fake tweets are easy to make. When in doubt, check my actual twitter feed. It's the internet. Be skeptical. Always. :D"
"Meet the world's smallest cat ever! His name is Tinker Toy and he's 2 inches tall./Small Bob is small.
"How's BoO going?/Everything is proceeding according to plan. "diabolical laughter*"
"What's the engine's name? I ship the engine and Buford so hard, I have to know the ship's engine's name./Honestly no idea. But that's the sign of a super-fan, when you spend your time shipping a three-legged table and the Argo II's engine."
"Blood of Olympus-Heroes of Olympus = Boo-Hoo. RR may be trolling this fandom again./Nah, you guys troll yourselves just fine."
"Octavian and Nico, is that a good ship?/ Only if you REALLY hate Nico, I guess."
"Could you make a chapter featuring Asian countries like China?/ Like 'on our way to Greece and whoops! Beijing!'Random much?"
"Can't wait 2 read Percy Jackson 2 my son. But he's only 21 months old. Might have 2 wait a few yrs./Good call."
"SPQR on numeric keypad is 7777. 7 is an unlucky number for demigods. What do u have to say for that?/Really bored, eh?"
"r u not even curious bout d movies?/ Like I'm curious about terminal diseases. Doesn't mean I want to experience one."
"NO! NO! NICO! NO! Uncle Rick?/ It means you guys have WAY too much time on your hands."
"Has a fan ever recognized you when your not on a book tour?/ I once signed an autograph in the frozen foods aisle at Costco."
"Dear 2014, I need a camp half-bloof t-shirt!/ Half-bloofs unite! Coming Oct. 2014: The Bloof of Olympus! Well, I suppose being a half-bloof is better than being a full bloof. Okay, I'll stop now, before someone gives me a bloofy nose."
"If Leo went to Hogwarts do you think he would accidentally burn the place down?/ Before you could say expelliarmus."
"If I say that I love u so much will you reply to my tweet?/ No. Wait..."
"My trainer tells how he once trained a woman who was 80. He told her to program her age into the treadmill. She set the speed to 80. Ouch."
"Don't kill nobory!/ I would never kill Nobory. I love Nobory!"
"because of you my life makes sense thank you so much for that./That's frightening on many levels but you're welcome."
"Brushing your hair in the morning w/a paint brush doesn't work, in case you were wondering. And now i shall drink coffee."
"It would be epic if Sadie and Annabeth met like Percy and Carter :D/ Stay tuned."
"do the gods know about your books?/ SHHH! You trying to get me in trouble?"
"Does 'an oath to keep with a final breath' mean 'till death do us part'?/ A lovely thought. No. But a lovely thought."
"People on the internet are saying that two of the Seven will die. Is that true?/ OMG! People on the internet? They're ALWAYS right!"
"What's your advice for people who want to be a successful author?/ Forget about the 'successful' part. Just write. A lot."
"Can you tell us something we can expect for Blood of Olympus?/ Nouns. Also a fair number of verbs."
"I NEED BLOOD OF OLYMPUS RIGHT NOW!/ 'Need is an overused word' - Gaea"
"What is it with you and the name Bob?/ It is the pinnacle of all names, the meta-name, the name optimus maximus. It is BOB."
"I just saw a boy reading HoH. Should I ask him to marry me?/ Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan."
"I heard a rumor that Annabeth is going to turn into a T-Rex. Thoughts?/I hate it when vital information leaks."
