Anonymous asked: Hi John. Could you respond to the frequent criticism of your work that you tend to write the same scenarios and characters over and over again? Obviously there are some differences in themes and characterizations, but your books feel more repetitive than those by other authors. I am a teen who has enjoyed some of your work, but I do feel a bit trivialized that you continue to paint teen life with...

Anonymous asked: If I don't preorder TFioS, but I go to my local bookstore on the first day its out and buy one, will it be signed or anything? I went online and started to preorder, but to be honest its just too expensive for me (Or more nicely put, your signature is priceless? :D) So can i get a signed copy without preordering?

Anonymous asked: What or where do you feel is an appropriate age cut off for your books? I have a nine year old daughter that loves to read, but I am concerned about content for my kids. I truly enjoy your vlog and the "Thoughts from places" you randomly include. So my question is this: would you let your own 9 year old daughter read your work?

Anonymous asked: I know I'm way behind in the game, but I've been a fan of your channel for years and was finally going to receive one of your books for Christmas. But when I didn't and asked why, my stepmom said she'd flipped through in the checkout lane and found a sexually inappropriate scene (and apparently this was a dealbreaker, even though I'm 18). So John, why do parents always...

Anonymous asked: I saw the spoiler accidentally. The BIG spoiler.

To be clear!!!
I have not read a single post on tumblr with an accurate spoiler. So don’t feel like the book has been spoiled for you or whatever.
But the IDEA that people are intentionally trying to shape other people’s reading experiences really bothers me. Why would you do that? How does it help you? What purpose does it serve? In what way is it entertaining? The whole affair strikes me (to be...
Do not search the tfios tag on tumblr...
…because a number of people are posting spoilers (most of these spoilers are fake and appear to have been crafted by people who haven’t read the book, but still).
Obviously, this is not how I want to spend my Christmas Eve, and this is hugely disappointing. I knew it was inevitable, but it is stil tremendously disappointing. Presumably people are posting spoilers because they want...

reveille-moname asked: Has there been a statement from B&N regarding the whole shipping fiasco, by any chance? Like, have they even acknowledged that they screwed up royally (either to you or the general public)?

The Leaking of The Fault in Our Stars
Early this morning, I learned that BN.com had accidentally shipped out The Fault in Our Stars, which will be published on January 10th, to many people who’d preordered the book. Although efforts are being made to stop shipments wherever possible, some of these people will likely receive the book early.
This is disappointing for a variety of reasons, but mostly because we have worked very...

tinychickendisease:
Thanks for exposing my book to the wide world of nerdfighters last year. Since that time, I have gotten many e-mails and kind words. I reduced the price to make it affordable (it was originally made as a pricy library reference book) — but many wrote asking for a more affordable price. Now, due to personal circumstances I now must dispense with my remaining inventory. I want...

“…Then I picked up The Fault in Our Stars. I am totally devastated by this book....”
– Lev Grossman (http://levgrossman.com/blog/)
(I mean, obviously there is a lot to like about this from my perspective, but the nicest thing is that I am a huge fan of Lev Grossman’s writing and have been for a long time. So basically someone I really like is comparing my book to a book I...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I just recently read your books and ADORED them all, and it just so happens that your tour will be coming near me in San Francisco. However, I'm not at all familiar with nerdfighters or vlogbrothers or anything and I feel like I'd be really out of the loop (and unfortunately, there's no way for me to watch all the videos or get involved in the nerdfighter community by that time...
