Eoin Colfer answers AFC Questions!

[TheAwesomeBunny1]

Lol, "Respect, I like that!" He's funny without trying. He sounded so dissapointed about the movie．

[nator267]

does eion colfer has a Youtube account?



[puenboy1]

I like how he starts off all stuttering and unconfident, then develops overtime, then went stuttering again towards the end.

One advice to Mr.Colfer though: Never put bits and pieces of stories in between events, because it will cause massive plotholes due to it not being as close enough to the original plan of the progressing story.

[Xdancergirl202X]

Ahh! He gets magic?! I'm still on the third book. Oops!

[MrHappyFaceDude1]

@Xdancergirl202X Ah, yes. In the fifth book (The Lost Colony) in the time tunnel he steals some magic. Better get reading! lol

[OhMyGourd94]

I totally want to dress up as Holly! And then my friend with long blonde hair could be Juliet! Awww....that would be perfect.

[Zazzy234]

I read all of the other books he wrote. Airman, The Wish List, and the The Super naturalist are great books. Plus I like how he puts little perverted tidbits into his books.

[0MGTayTayGurl]

I respect the fact that he took a break for a little while. I'm not going to be one of those annoying fans who complain about him taking a break because writing a good book with a sophisticated plot doesn't take one day, it takes several months or even years. -Die Hard Artemis Fowl fan

[bowserkitten6435]

when is the Atlantes complex commin' to buy!

[Zazzy234]

@bowserkitten6435 well it's coming out on August 3, 2010. I plan on getting the book for my birthday.

[MonstrousMartin]

Artemis Fowl is the best book ever <3

[iJecabah]

any one know anywhere to find english translated versions of the gnomish on the bottoms of the pages in the books? I made it all the way to the lost coloney before I realized it wasn't just a design =/

[Meyellows]

1:57-2:07, True true, Mr. Colfer, but it would also make the HollyxArtemis ship a WHOLE lot more likely since it wouldn't turn out like the whole AragornxArwen thing and have Artemis die when Holly's like in her 30's.

[perseberans]

the plot seems to be interesting. i'm dying to read it. wouldn't you agree?

by the way, i'm just being curious. someone pls tell me, is it true that eoin colfer doesn't have any plans for holly and artemis to end up together just because they're of different species? (anyone could reply.)

[Meyellows]

@perseberans Well what I think is that Artemis Fowl wasn't intended to be a romance in the first place, and was mostly intended for male readers, (Even though it does have a strong, avid female base, I being one of them,) So any romance we get in them we're lucky to have in the first place. I think the chemistry between Artemis and Holly will remain subtle but who knows? Mr. Colfer might decide to give AxH fanservice for us females.

[barricader6]

@Meyellows Holly is 70 and an adult while Fowl is 14 and a teen.

[redstrabrerreez]

@barricader6 i'm pretty sure she's more like 80. not that it matters, it's still the same point (:

[barricader6]

@redstrabrerreez She was 70 in book 2

[redstrabrerreez]

@barricader6 really? i was reading it the other day and i swear it said she was 80. idk... maybe i'm wrong.

[barricader6]

@redstrabrerreez Nah you're right, she's 80.Probably 83 now.

[loveoftriforce]

ok i got 2 questions.1 what do female darwf's look like

and 2.how did u get 2 be an aother in the beinging?*ps i want 2 be an aouther*

[pokemonprincess17]

The TV series of Half moon investigations was rubbish compared to the book.

[blueshinemoon]

Sigh, I'm italian and I don't understand. . . SOOOO SAD..... I need a translation!! :)

Love, love love love Artemis Fowl jr ;D

[Spritesinthehouse]

You know, at first I thought that Eoin Colfer was a good author, but kind of snooty. But after watching this video I now know that he isn't that at all. I have so many questions I want to ask him, but I know if I ever got the chance to speak to him all I would be able to say or do is go Oh my god! Oh my god! But over the internet I would probably be able to ask him a million questions. I'm so glad for this video, so thanks for putting it up!

[coldplayslover3g4]

This is one (one of the two in my opinion) of the greatest authors to ever walk this beautiful planet.

[lnkatts]

You write such wonderful exciting books! And....you also have a great accent =)

[singing4ever1]

YOU ARE SO COOL!!!!!

just thought i'd let you know....

[starlyman]

im confused is he making atlantis complex or not

[booksinspireme]

he is this is before the AC

[redeljann]

wow...i think his teh best author..ever...artemis fowl books <3

[unknownunkownunkown]

he said yesterday that the next book is going to be released in summer and will be called "atlantis complex" :D yay

[xxmaevegroganxx]

@unknownunkownunkown AHHH!!!

[xxmaevegroganxx]

Why did someone mark that comment down? All I said was 'AHHH!!!' in reply to a comment saying that The Atlantis Complex is out in the summer.

[poleyarnarr]

tbh no-one really cares

[poleyarnarr]

well the point is i couldn't be bothered to read the other comments because, like i mentioned earlier, i don't care

[poleyarnarr]

ermm really i'm not starting a fight all i said was the truth

[poleyarnarr]

ermm your'e the one writing on my profile so maybe you should just go away

& yes i do like artemis fowl i just don't like idiots like you writing essays on the comments

[poleyarnarr]

fuck off then

stop replying idiot

[poleyarnarr]

LOOOL. omg you are so unbelievably gay.

you're telling me to stop being offensive? you're the one who started being offensive by insulting my race

maybe you should fuck off

[omgjoeishot]

One day, I finished just about all thew books in the county library. I read the back of the Artemis Fowl book and checked it out. I then read the first two chapters. The next day I went back and checked out the entire series and would only leave my room to use the bathroom and eat. I finished the entire series in about a week. Thank you so much for writing these books!!!

[goo2471012]

I am reading the first Artemis Fowl book, and I love it so far! Great job, I can't wait to read more.

[KennyDaPILOT]

wait until the arctic incident, im still reading it and its INTENSE :D

[MadmanRobz]

''Mr. Colfer. Ah! respect!'' HA HA XD made me lol so hard XD

[MarkValeo]

yei, thank u, i`ll wait for the movies

[AFCProductions]

Not yet my friend, one day maybe... =]

[maribelparracano]

Hi, I just wanted to say all the Artemis Fowl books are awsome.I hope you right more.:-)

[MarkValeo]

is there a movie about artemis fowl???? cuz i would love to watch it

[maribelparracano]

Wait a sec.R u even Eoin or a guy who works for him or something.

[Dude0Vinni0Dude]

He's Eoin

[bentokioka]

LoL, dude. I think if someone wrote a few award winning novels, he/she would want people to know he/she wrote it.

[xxmaevegroganxx]

@maribelparracano

Who, the people who uploaded the video or the guy talking? The guy is Eoin Colfer, and the uploaders are an American fan group who are in contact with him =)

[Dude0Vinni0Dude]

Indeed, not yet, but there will be.

"The adventures of Artemis Fowl are going to be filmed."

Adventures, so that means that there will be more than just one movie :D

"There will be real actors, but I hope that the dwarf will be made by computer, because it's cruel to let a actor eat clay and fart all the time.'

The quotes are from Eoin Colfer, but I read it here translated to Dutch, and I'm not so good in translating it back, so that's why it's in crappy English :P

[Silverstarx7x]

lol I kinda though Eoin would look like you expected an author to look like at first but he seems like a very interesting guy and he didnt look like I expected and everything. He really does rock and I'm trying to write too and he gave me somewhat of advice on twitter. and if you want to follow me on twitter its the same name as this youtube account so go ahead.

[iluvspockandsylar418]

Artemis Fowl is amazing. I can't wait for the movie! My friend, though, calls him a Dixie Chick. (She was forced to read it in fourth grade for a class assignment. She skipped around, and needless to say, she failed it, or at least in my opinion.)

[xxmaevegroganxx]

@iluvspockandsylar418

Fourth Grade? Ahh are you American? Ah that's so cool! So like when he refers to areas in Dublin such as Temple Bar you have no idea what he's talking about? Wow..

Obviously I'm Irish :L

[lieberkid]

@xxmaevegroganxx im half irish but im also half german so its kind of hard to choose wich country to study Lol

[iluvspockandsylar418]

Cool! Irish people rock! Yeah, she got a B- on the assignment, which in my opinion, is failing xD. And I do know what he's talking about... (yes I am American, though)

[kiss9hug]

i just finished reading the series and thought it was AMAZING!! i hope theres going to be a 7th book!!

[winter0babe0kels]

He answered my question....Kelsey Rain (:

[yavin1998]

i cant wait for the movie and i wonder if they will make all the books into graphic novels

[SharinganNaruto]

That'd be super awesome.

[WickedFabala]

I hope not i hated the way the character were drawn :P

[Shirleyxia74]

I KNOW I agree, Artemis looked sooo ugly in it, I was hoping he'd look good

[frostedsnow07]

DITTO!!

I thought he'd be better looking too : /

[AnimalNitrates]

I would like to meet Genghis Khan!

[eternalsailormercury]

writers' strike? oh, no.... :(

[guitarbandit90]

I hope the movie is going to be true to the series.

[yoimosan]

is there actually going to be a movie?

[Dude0Vinni0Dude]

I really hope so <3

[bunniansprouse]

Amazing author, simply brilliant. I love all his books.

[K24Productions]

lol D'arvit.

[MyAccountman]

its funny, i read the 2nd book, then the 1st, then the 3rd, then the 5th, then the 4th, THEN the 6th, cuz i didn't know what book was what! i just finished it the right way tho!!!

[ianlolsatyou]

ive just finished the first book as i am going through the series again

[marvolo1300]

It takes a genius to create a character which is genius. Therefore Eoin Colfer is a genius!

[guitarbandit90]

That logic is perfect.

[bexdasex]

what a legend! he was my teacher bk in 3rd class in primary school! still remembers me tho!

[Robertpianosax]

man thats so awesome, what was he like?

[bexdasex]

savage. very funny man and was great at the auld stories he used to tell us! hard to imagine that someone from a tiny town in the southeast of ireland could become such a famous author!

[Robertpianosax]

do you ever see him?

[bexdasex]

not as much anymore, too busy with exams in a few months. id see him drivin by the odd saturday afternoon nd hed give me a bamp on the horn

[Robertpianosax]

that's very awesome :D i'm guessing you've read all the artemis fowl books?

[bexdasex]

i havnt actually! i only read da 1st one when it first came out lol

[eROCKSh]

wtf sucks to hear about the movie

[Simriel]

WTF?

[TheGentl3man]

Eoin is just the Irish spelling of Owen, like Ruairi for Rory etc

[artemisfowlthe2]

i love artemis fowl and hope he writes more mooks otherwise im going to be stuck reading them over for the rest of my life its not a bad thing but it would be nice to have something new about artemis to read about.

[freakman2112]

What does D or XD mean?

[letjkrule]

its a laughing symbol.. on its side.

[converse00999]

lol kevin costner

[NerdyGirl456]

What other books has he written? I'm pretty excited about the 'maybe' spin-offs too. =D

[AFCProductions]

IShitIce, you obviously haven't seen him at one of his own live shows then, he's awesomely funny, and I've interviewed him in person a few times, and he's hilarious!

XD

[IShitIce]

He's really boring in real life! He used to teach me in Wexford. He's a brilliant writer though. The first five Artemis FOwl books are excellent. The next two are not so good.

[frmeyer]

there are only six?

[ViperRob42]

I haven't read any of his stuff but now that I know he is writing a followup book 6 of Hitchhikers Guide, whats his other series all about? I seen it around but haven't researched it or anythi, humm... I hope he does a good job and would make Douglas Adams proud!

[mikeswimming]

Read Artemis Fowl...they are BRILLIANT...and I'm 35 years old!

[roudarix]

The name is pronounced something like O-in coalfur... lolz i think its a cool name! anywayz, i saw him live in NY on his tour and it was awsum. he even signed my book and stuff!

[peepsbates]

[gothkid287]

[darkchoas321]

[kairedmaster]

I have artemis fowl on tape.

It's actually more like "Yown Coal-fer"

[ryder4782]

It's more like "owen colfer" I think.

[BennyGoodmanFreak]

ean colfer is how it is said

[itssagun4ya]

no owen colfer is how its said. if you look him up the say that Eoin is pronounced owen

[babyo100]

no its not. its owen you fool

[XxShades99xX]

Guys, go on one of the artemis Fowl books, go on the last page and u will see it saying "Eoin (pronounced 'owen', easier than it looks, eh?) Colfer was born and raised in Wexford in the south-east of Ireland" etc... so its actually Eoin but wen u say it, it sounds like Owen. GOT IT?

[babyo100]

no its owen

[babyo100]

ive got the same name.and every bloody day i have to put up stuff like ee-on its owen i tell you!!!!!

that is all

[babyo100]

Really good job, by the way. I understand it's hard to do public speaking when you're a writer. Awesome effort!

[sharkie93]

:P his favourite AF book is mine too.

No one else find it quite funny how uncertain he is?
