He was eaten by a marid while performing research for a new book.


(More seriously, he's probably just busy working on his new book.)

He only ever really answered questions a couple times of year to begin with... be patient.

Also, by this time, most of the questions are just us superfans nitpicking over little potential flaws in the story.

We're helping him develop his universe.

And I'm still really dissappointed that he never visited Canada. I don't think I can have superfan status until I've met him in real life!

I forget how many of us have actually met him. I have, of course, and Nat did, back in the day. And I think Footstool has. Anyone else?

Yes Footstool has met him. And so has Mwamba.
Gladstone hasn't met him right?

I still have mine on my shelf =p

Amusingly my parents were very confused when they got something in the mail from Texas. Even more confused when they saw that Stroud had signed a card with gargoyle form Bartimaeus.

I bought a gargoyle for my shelf which confuses everyone.

Haha, I told Mwamba not to put an address on it to avoid awkward questions from my parents. The lack of a return address meant that my Dad went and opened it. XD

If he goes on a tour for his next book we should petition him to visit TO. It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.

You (and whoever else) may be tutting, but the vast majority would just simply be enjoying the awesomeness of a Stroud party.

You'd be apologising for being mistaken for Americans.
