I am really enjoying all the people who read the headline and came immediately down here to bitch about weddings in general without reading the article.

The wedding industrial complex is so bat shit crazy in this country that it took me an embarrassing 3/4 of the article to realize that it's a joke. I thought she was being serious. People seriously think like this. People are seriously the worst.

I was really happy that passed too. The results in California made even more firm that im never ever leaving here, despite the fact I really wish I could get some fall weather!

I'm an old, white, lady and I lean very far to the left.

I live in California where Jerry Brown was more or less guaranteed to win and my Democratic congressman was also leading in polls. I still went out and voted. So I don't understand how you can sit out an election when you live somewhere where your vote is really crucial. I mean, how do you even justify that?

Beyonce wishes she were FKA Twigs.

My favorite story in these books was a fairly subdued gothic horror story about two old men in a hospital room.

I think of a title first, then a basic premise. Then I write a very complete chapter-by-chapter outline of every book. Before I start to write, I know everything that's going to happen in the book.

The cell phone has ruined a lot of horror and mystery plots. You can no longer do a story where someone is getting menacing phone calls. That person just needs to read the screen to see who is calling. Plot ruined. Having a phone and a camera with you has destroyed many horror plots I used to write.

Thank you. Yes, kids enjoy a good scare as much as adults. (Luckily for me!)

Never. I outline each book. I know what's going to happen.

From everywhere. I was always THINKING!

This is amazing and I'm thrilled you even acknowledged me. Now I will fear both boiling and asphyxiation by shower. Happy Halloween!!!

You were one of my top three favourite authors as a child. In fact, I got scolded by my fourth grade teacher for always only ordering R.L. Stine and horror books from Scholastics. Anyways, I wanted to know if you come across issues in managing horror entertainment that is 'appropriate' for children versus for adults,…

I've learned that kids are very smart. They know if they are ready to read something or not ready. Kids who think they are not ready, don't read my Fear Street books.

Do you ever think of yourself while watching Wheel of Fortune in the final round when they show "R S T L N E" on the screen? My brain always readjusts it into "R L S T (I) N E."

I'm totally left-handed and I do type with one finger—not even two. I've written 300 books with the pointer finger of my left hand—and it's totally bent and ruined!

Glad you enjoyed Eureeka's Castle. I always say, it was like Sesame Street only we didn't teach the kids anything. Scary movies don't ever scare me. They always make me laugh. But I have to admit I stay away from slasher and splatter movies. I guess I'm too squeamish for the unsubtle kind of horror.

Yours were the first books my very conservative parents (unsuccessfully) tried to ban me from reading. In their defense, I was in grade two or three at the time, and reading the books featuring high school students. Do you think your books should be kept from kids until they reach a certain age?

The Boyfriend scared the bejesus out of me when I was 9. Thank you.
