What would you ask Stephen King?
I'm very new to this, but I was just thinking about what I would want to ask Stephen King if I ever got the chance to meet him and I thought it might make for a good discussion.
What would you guys want to know from him, or what would you like to talk about if you got the chance to, say, interview him?
I would want to know what his true beliefs are of what happens after death...
"If I didn't know you and you wanted to give me a good idea of who you were by presenting me with one of your works, but you could only choose one....
...which of your works would you think best represents who you are as a person?"
I got the chance to say whatever I wanted to when I was priviledged to meet him last year. I must say that asking him something, anything, didn't occur to me. I thought very long and hard about what I would say to him. In the end, I thanked him for giving a profession that is very dear to my heart (correctional officer/prison guard) more humanity than most any other story, film, television show, news cast, or other media ever has. I couldn't think of anything else that meant more to me than that.
Years ago, I had a chance, and brief, run-in with Michael Clarke Duncan and told him pretty much the same thing regarding his performance as John Coffey.

I would ask him how the people who wrote the graphic novels got persmission to use his characters. I am writing my own Dark Tower story and I can't do anything with it unless I somehow find a way to get permission to do so. I can't even post some of it here. The web master on his own sight continued to say "error on page" and would not send. The publlisher did not answer my emails. Anyone have a clue?
I would ask him where he gets his ideas for stories.I'm sure he hasn't heard that one before.

You should be able to either post on his site or PM Ms. Mod over there. However, the person who wrote the graphic novels is very close to SK and has done work for him the past.

Chocolate preference is highly significant.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.

I would like to know what his deal is with spiders
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
I would ask him if he needs a new secretary.

I would ask him if he minds if I move this thread to another forum where it would be more appropriate.
Merge/move coming up in ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Matt, Thanks I have been emailing today someone who finally answered me. Her name is Bev. It looks like the master will not allow anyone to use his characters or universe at all. (I did get the low down on the graphic novels) It is really a shame since I have a great story now and I to not finish it is to go insane. I was hoping to be able to post it here for all to see but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. I always thought that Stephen King was like Roland, but now I think he is more like the Crimson KIng.
her name is bev?
Excuse me it is HE.
I would be stupid enough to only ask for his autograph!!!
i would ask him why don't they sell The Stand here in estonia... or actually if he could give me a autograph

I'd ask him if he fancied shacking up with me. Forever.

I think I would thank him for being King. I always read books as a kid, but I do not believe I would have ever been a "reader" if it had not been for discovering his books. The type of life I lived from 17 on just did not allow for being active in books. You have to admit, you have never seen a door man in a bar reading a book right? Well, I did, at least from 7-10. Once the crowd got big around 10:30 I had to pay attention more, but I did managed to finish a few good books in the bar.

He'd be insane to say no.Now Tabby...she might mind.

I would ask if he ever noticed the similarities between Roland and the character in the song Behind Blue Eyes by The Who.
