Oh, no problem! I just agree with your general reasoning so wanted to clear it up. Maybe my publisher did it, I honestly don't know. Have a great day!

I swear on the life of my four children I didn't post this or write that intro or even know this was happening. I certainly didn't pay for it. So... I don't know?
Hi Miranda! Yes, I think that's a fantastic idea. Keep up the good work online!
Fingers crossed and you've got my vote! :) (but I don't have much power)
I'll just say you could play him, I've seen your picture! :) I never want to peg any of my characters. I'm fine with any ethnicity. But I see him as someone who's very uncomfortable with his role in things.
My message is to use storytelling as an escape from life, which can be so tough. And be kind to others. Always. Use storytelling to bring people together, not tear them apart.
We're just about out of time, so I'll just say this: I love your art!!! Great job. Fanart is one of my favorite things in the world. Keep it up!
Awwww, thank you so much. To you, and everyone else. All of these nice things mean so much to me. Truly.
The cast is touring 6 cities as we speak, and I'll also be doing a couple of screenings as well a little later, right before the movie. Keep tabs with my website for details because sometimes they are last minute.
Thank you, I love your area of the world. I've been to London and Dublin and had so much fun. I do hope to come back someday!!! And, for the record, because of actors Will Poulter and Kaya Scodelario, I'm now officially an Arsenal fan.
Oh, but this is important: The Maze Runner was never intended, in any way, to be a romance. There's barely a hint of it and that's on purpose. I've never believed that people have time to fall in love when the world is crumbling around their feet. Only bonds of loyalty and friendship. And I'm honestly kinda proud of…
I've only been cool enough to know what "ship" means since my fans told me a couple of years ago. I'd have to say that I must let my work stand for itself. Another cop out! :)
You can actually read about Minho's third trial in the ebook-only short we did, The Maze Runner Files. It has a lot of cool stuff in it that I'd done as bonus material throughout the years of the books coming out. As for the other Gladers, maybe someday!
Probably the last one. So many of the things in that book had been in my head for years, and it was surreal and a lot of fun to finally be putting them into words.
Maybe we'll save that for another movie. :) Sometimes things just don't work out with the flow of the film. That's what's great about the book. It'll always be there, forever and ever. Look at the movie as another way to experience that story for the very first time.
Thomas. The entire trilogy is from his perspective, and I wrote it, so I couldn't help but be in his head the entire time. I poured my soul into his character and I relate to him the most. Although, he's definitely the much braver version of me. I wouldn't have lasted twenty pages.
My takeaway is a theme from the books that really solidified the further I went with the story. Nothing in this world is black or white. I purposefully wanted the phrase "WICKED is good," even though on its face it's absurd. I wanted that. Two opposites, stated as equals. By the end of the series, I want the reader to…
I believe that WICKED was messing with their minds (literally and figuratively) with a lot of that, but in the end I see Thomas as their leader only because Minho has the humility to allow it. But in many ways, I think they are co-leaders. Cop out? :)
Yay, Turkey! It's so fun to see readers from around the world. The movie is so great, and there are several scenes that have become my favorite, but I guess I'll choose one that really stands out: the banishment of Ben. That scene is done so well and the music is so fantastic.
Oh, she'd be a Runner. I have no doubt of that.
