  • OMG I LOVE YOU, i am a huge fan and i love all you're books. I have read Shiver and Linger and now i want to get Forever from by best friend Ash. I am only 13 and am writing four books at the moment and hope to be just as good as you when i finish school :D

  • Maggie you are one of my favorite authors!! ..EVER! haha I love it when an author keeps me thinking about the book when i'm not reading it or finished it. you are one of those authors and i love the shiver trilogy. i am trying to find linger in my library and i hope i do soon. im so happy that i didnt finish it yet because i know there will be forever that is next. (let's not think about the end) >.< love you and keep writing <3 <3 <3

  • @Kakashisensei63 You RUINED IT FOR MEEEE!! I am in the middle of linger. Lol. Its all good.I was juss' kidding!!:)

  • Hey! I love your Shiver Trilogy :D I'm currently reading Forever.

  • Comment removed

  • Reading the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, and watching the stop-motion animations gives me a tight feeling in my chest. It all seems like the purest form of love, and of all the lovey books I've read, this represents the type of love I want to find in life the most.

  • i read the entire series and I would like to say amazing. You just..i don't even know what to say. How you put ur own music in there for the trailers and how u put it in the stories themselves its just. amazing. I would love to be a famous professional writer one day, but right now school and my family are sort of crushing my time on that. I would love for you to converse with me give me pointers for the future of my life. keep writting girl ;)

  • lol I remember when It wasn't cool to like either werewolves or vampires xD I was always the weird goth kid with her nose in a book....the new vampires? pffft. they've always been cool. nobody else knew it

  • wow maggie u r just like me haha! i sing songs in weird ways all the time and come up with stupid funny dances 2 go with it haha!

    anyway im totally on team sam! lol

  • haha you should do a paper crane tutorial :D haha

  • thank GOD your not like stephanie myers *shudders*

  • Vielen Dank dafür, ich hab mich wirklich köstlich amüsiert! But I don't think it's that goofy a way of singing at all. I rather like it - as I do your books. I'm waiting for Forever and The Scorpio Races to come out. I do love your way of writing (and the Rilke poetry and the lyrics in general, so much), so please, please keep up the good work.

    Grüße aus Deutschland, wo Sie natürlich auch Fans besitzen. ;)

  • I don't care about Team Eadward and Team Jacob-Team Sam! <333

  • I just finished Shiver today and I LOVED it. Can't wait for the next ones :)

  • I just adore her so much!! she is hilarious!!! :D read almost all her novels she's written and I am a huge fan.

  • i totaly wouldnt mind being Grace and being able to get with Sam! whooo baby!!

  • Thank you so much for posting this, really. It gave me the best laugh I've had all week. XD

    Kudos to you for having the guts to sing in front of thousands of YouTubers. I love your writing. Otherwise, I'm sure I wouldn't be watching your videos, of course. I'm really excited for FOREVER to come out in July, I can't wait to read what happens next. You just about had me tearing my hair out with how you ended LINGER.

    And thank you for writing about werewolves and kissing :P

  • Tell me that that is NOT what Summer Girl sounds like. Please. It does NOT sound like Sam. Please, dear Maggie. Please. Or I will be very sad.

  • Hi Maggie! Im like your biggest fan! My 5th grade teacher got to meet you! You and your books are so amazing!:P

  • hi!!!!!!!! omg i actually just read shiver and linger yesterday. im one of those ppl who doesnt stop reading a book until she finishes it :P

    the books r awesome!!!!!!!! im so excited for forever!!!!!!!

    awesome :)

  • I wish I was older so then I could direct the movie shiver (weird thought) (Im aspireing to be a director/author) I like how you actually respond too alot of fans, alot of authors don't do that :( but I really like that you do your really cool! Sam pwns.

    -Sarah from nj (home of the ompalompas just kidding nj rocks) :)

  • lol soooo funny!! HALARIOUS!!!

  • your books have taken Twilight's place in my heart maggie!!!

    Team SAM!!! XD lol

  • @RamenSushi Ahh, thank you!

  • @MaggieStiefvater your very welcome ;) can't wait for "Forever" to come out! sad that its the last book though :(

  • Hi. c:

    Sadly, I can't hear this because the sound is broken on my computer, but I wanted to leave a comment because I think the Wolves of Mercy Falls books are amazing!

    I just finished reading Linger, and it was even better than Shiver!

    They're my favourite books. c:

  • @Cityskyllines Aw, I'm so glad that you love them -- and that you like Linger even more! I hope you adore FOREVER and thank you so much!

  • i TOTALY agree that warewolves are the new vampires!!!!!i used to be obssesed with vampires until i read stephenies meyers breaking dawn of the twilight series, and your book, and then i went totaly CRAZY over werewolves... (not literaly crazy, but i love them.) and the fact that the begginig of shiver just starts out as grace thinking they're wolves, i jst thinks that wolves are the most beautiful creatures.... ok, i'm going to stop babbling now. :)

  • @twilightlover201565 I'm so glad that you love the books (werewolves and vampires both) and hope you keep loving the series. Lots more wolves in FOREVER . . .

  • Hi Maggie! This is one of your biggest fans! Don't worry I'm not crazy...... sometimes. Anyway I loved Shiver and Linger.. and I watched your newest video of you reading a smidge bit of Forever! It was awesome!! Just wanted you to know that you are one of my favorite authors, musician, and artist!! <3 :)

  • @Sasukequeen3 HUGE thank you!!! I'm so glad you loved that teaser from FOREVER and hope you love the rest. And thank you again!!

  • I don't understand making a movie(s) based off a book(s)....and NOT letting the author of that book(s) (if he/she is still living) have a say in the casting. That just makes no sense to me. :(

  • Werewolves are completely the new vampires! I LOVE werewolves (to me, they beat vampires and any other supernatural creatures ANY day). I'm mid-way through Shiver and I love it! I'm so excited to read Linger, and then Forever this summer! Your writing is just...beautiful. That's the only way I can describe it verbally. It's poetic and descriptive and unique. Very inspirational to me as an aspiring young-adult supernatural author. Keep up the good work! :]

  • @archergrl1996 Thank you so much for the kind words!! I hope you love the rest of the series and ahh, I hope you keep liking the writing as well. Thank you!

  • @MaggieStiefvater -- You're very welcome!!! I'm currently reading Linger...and I'm trying to ''linger'' as much as I can on each bit of the story to make it last a long time so July won't seem so far away. I know that's a lame pun...but I thought I would at least try. Can't wait for July! :]

  • @archergrl1996 personly i like were bears better than werewolves but its just personal opinion

  • A maggie! Tha'ts why she's such a good writer for teen novels, she's so much like us! ;) She's completely Bonkers, as are we, but to tell you the trueth: Bonker's is the best thing to be! THUMBS UP IF YOU LOVE IT!

  • @CrazyxArtxWords Bonkers is the new vampires. :p

  • Hi maggie :D I'm just curious,what do you think about adam jogia to play sam's part?

  • @chemicallyalive Well . .. I don't have any say in the casting, so I try not to think about it!

  • @MaggieStiefvater well alright then anyways its a big deal that the author of my favorite book replied xD stay awesome :)

    I will be waiting for 'forever' to come out :P

  • @chemicallyalive I agree, with you!!!

  • @Sasukequeen3 thanks :D

  • Hiii!

    I just wanted to say that you are an amazing writer and I absolutely cannot wait for Forever to come out.

    If my parents were anything like Grace's parents, I would camp out in front of a bookstore the night before it was released to get it

    My parents are nothing like Mr. and Mrs. Brisbane. So I'll just get it the morning after...I guess that's a good thing though.

    And, I saw your livejournal. I always pictured him looking like Will Anderson from the band Parachute as Sam in the book. (:

  • @pixiegirlrox LOL. Well, I hope you love FOREVER. Also, Will does have those sad eyes.

  • Hey I'm from Belgium, I love your books!!!

  • @ddskpprncs brilliant! Thank you!

  • @MaggieStiefvater MG I'm reading that novel about Deirdre and Luke right now... Where do you get all that inspiration ant fantasy, it's like freakin' awesome, Amazing!!! (I'm a little afraid of the faeries ;o )

  • Try Asian women **busizz4me.info**

  • Wow - I have never read anything as heartfelt and passionate as your writing. You're awesome Maggie! :) <3

  • @girlzzrock264 Thank you SO much.

  • Hi! i read shiver and i REALLY really liked it! i read it in like.. one day or something :)

    i have a question though. what is Grace's last name?

  • @twilightlotteh Brisbane.

  • Omg you respond to peoples comments :0 you have writen the best piece of literature ever in my opinion. Ive been so angry cuz when ever i go to barnes and noble i never find a book about wolves but then i come across shiver and im like thats the best book ever. Shiver is my favorite book because i love wolves. keep on writing plez ^-^ im in the middle of linger and im going crazy cuz ima have to wait more than 6 months to get forever!!!! luv your books! lol and nice video :D

  • @jonathan2535 I do BUT it takes me ashile . . . I'm so glad that you love the books and hope you love FOREVER too!!

  • maggie, being the nosy girl that i am i feel myself obliged to interject the following pointless suggestion: GASPARD ULLIEL SHOULD SO PLAY SAM. thoughts on this??? seriously maggie take a look at him and i dare you to try not to tell me that he has yellow-eyed potential. buuutttt then again its just a suggestion. honestly though, what do you think??

  • @RoyaRox1128 He's pretty! But maybe getting a little old for Sam?

  • @knackles346565 Thanks. I'm untalented in a lot of things too. Like . . . bowling. I'm really bad at bowling.

  • ....and that's why I love you as an author, and why your books are the only fantasy I've ever read, apart from Tolkien, which are also and truly very good books. Thank you!

  • @antalya1705 Thank YOU! :)

  • Is Forever the thrid book for the Shiver series? Cause I totally LOVE Shiver :)

  • @sugarhaha FOREVER is indeed the last book in the series! I hope you love it. :)

  • i love how you actually have this channel and you seem cool ass and not boring as hell like some *ahem* vampire writers

  • @Freakenstine1 I do my best. Which reminds me. I should do another video one of these days . . .

  • You are truly an inspiration! I bought both SHIVER and LINGER and I couldn't stop reading them until I'd finished them and now I absolutely can't wait for FOREVER to come out!

    Doesn't everybody deserve a Sam in there life? =D

    Good luck with writing FOREVER, not that you need it!!!

  • @PoisonedXSugar I'm so glad you loved 'em! And I'll take luck. :)

  • i still like Vampyres.. but i dont like Vampires.. and this series ish awesome XD (Vampyres = House of Night series, Vampires = twilight ((ewwww)) and yea) i like faeries too... i live in a world where all three live in peace and not kill each other... o.e im soo wierd.

  • @reallifesk8terboi You are. But that's okay.

  • i can see myself doing that while trying to think of material for my first novel ever xD agreed, werewolves are the new vampires! werewolves ftw! O:

  • @MorixChanxStalksxYou Hee hee. :)

  • U rock Maggie!

  • @lifexisxsoxpainful Thanks. :) I try.

  • I lovee your books. I just finished Linger last night! (:

  • @KaylaCandy15 Thank you!!

  • gosh maggie!! you like totally got me balling today. lol today was (mark the date, its momentous) the day I finished reading shiver. my. goodness. were you TRYING to make me bawl? (rhetorical question.) anyways, lovely book, i'll be loning my copy to my best friend, then i'll sit back and nonchalantly receive the fanatic praise for reccomending such a fabulous read. please tell Sam i love him. tee hee ^_^

  • @RoyaRox1128 OF COURSE I was trying to make you bawl. That's what I do. :)

  • I am in love with shiver and linger and i cant wait to read Forever. You are a amazing author and you inspired me to write one of my books even though mines is nothing at all like yours. Im almost done now actually and i hope to get it published. I hope i get to meet you one day even though that possibility is slim since I live in the Bahamas and all... It would be amazing. Thank you so much for writing these books!!!!!

  • @KirstieAlbury I'm so glad that you loved them and hope that you have good luck with your writing (Though there's not much luck involved, just hard work). And Bahamas! Whoo!

  • Comment removed

  • niice :D, and werewolves ARE the new vampires

    oh, great books by the way.

  • @starryeyedocean Heeee . . . thanks.

  • I have never ever ever ever ever ever found another book that awesome-er than Shiver! I even re-read Shiver (cant get enough of it) and the songs you composed, it was so beautiful! I really can't wait for Linger and whats coming after that. X33

    p/s: i wish you could show me how to play One Thousand Paper Crane on guitar:))

  • @Catstyle97 I'm so glad that you loved it! On the guitar . . ? Hmmm, I've never tried playing it on the guitar . . .

  • This is my life. I'm gonna watch this 20 times every day!

  • @rabidvampire0422 Hahahaha!

  • AMAZING ;)

  • @kelliiexuk Oh, I stun even myself. ;p

  • I watched this last night and all day today this song was stuck in my head! :) Can't wait until Forever!

  • @Stinababy6891 Haha, this will be my true legacy . . .

  • Vampires blow. Werewolves DOMINATE!

  • @nkska Vampires SUCK. Werewolves dominate. 

  • And THAT is why you're my favorite author. And THAT is what writing a novel actually looks like, well, it's pretty much the same for me.

    Oddly enough, even after this you're what I aspire to be as a semi-functionable adult:

    Totally off my rocker, but no one will care because I'm a novelist and it's what we DO.

  • @CrystalShinigami Yep, it's true, the crazy becomes acceptable.

  • I haven't read Shiver yet, but seeing this kinda makes me wanna read it :D

  • @Barbalaalaa Mission accomplished . . .

  • TRUE DAT!!! EVERYONE WANTS TO BE SAM!!! LOVE HIM!!!

  • @Rachaell521 Hahaha!

  • New. Favorite. Author~ <3 (Not that you weren't before... xD Just a newfound respect~)

  • @CelticGoddess111 *grin* Thanks.

  • You can play guitar ASWELL as the Celtic harp,the piano AND the bagpipes!!!!!! WOOW!!!!!! you are AMAZING!!!!!!

  • @ElthorneParkHighRule Thanks! (I can't make tortillas though).

  • youre awesome!!!!

  • @I22stars Thanks! :D

  • I'm so desperate to read Linger, I actually went on the little Stop Motion thingy (it was sick by the by. great work. I've always wanted to do something like that. The paper was pretty and the tune was so enchanting!) and I paused it and zoomed and full screened and used every tactic known to man (AND wolf) to try to read a little bit of Linger while it was open. I got "recently, Salem" and "I was pretty" Sad.

  • @poniezrule83 Haha, nice try. You know that's just a copy of Shiver with a Linger jacket in that video, right? >:D

  • You're just awesome, lady. I love your book and I can't wait for the next one. I would *cough cough* just LOVE to be sent a copy of Linger in advance......*sigh, cough, hint hint, cough* Lol. :3

  • @poniezrule83 Hahaha -- I can't quite understandcoughwhatyouresaying­cough. :D

  • werewolves are better than all vampires exept Edward Cullennn. heheh. nicee vidd:) amazing booook, soon to be books!:)

  • @Elyse96 Haha, thanks!

  • WEREWOLVES! WHO NEEDS VAMPIRES I MEAN THEY SUCK PEOPLE'S BLOOD! THEY'RE NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD! hehe :p

  • @katesmusicmadness No kidding. ;p

  • @katesmusicmadness Hmm werewolves kill people too... Just saying.

  • You are so talented, I must say. Your books and your music are wonderful.

    Omg this video is so good!! Awesome. Nice job. I have read Shiver so often and then I gave it my friends too. We love it! Can't wait for linger.

    I found it very funny that poems of Rilke were in your book. I like his poems.

    I write also poems and at the moment I work on my first book.

    I think, it's VERY cool when authors have own Youtube, because then they can stay with their fans in contact.

    Greetings from Germany

  • @halbvampir07forever Thank you so much!

  • hahahaha good job lololol

  • @imetclick5 Heehee. Thanks.

  • @MaggieStiefvater ur welcome =D =P

  • is there a lament trailer like this?

  • @101wuzup1 Unfortunately not at the moment. I may do one in honor of the Lament UK release, though!

  • enjoyed it! love your lyrics <3

  • @SoWrongItsMiranda Hee hee. Thanks.

  • @SoWrongItsMiranda Hee. Thanks.

  • "And that's why werewolvesare the new vampires"

    Oh hell yes they are! Love the little song, make more please (after you've finished writing Forever ofcourse,) :D!

  • @IWantConverse Hahaha -- I'm afraid I probably will.

  • Lol, i guess passing the word does help. my Special 'someone' pursuaded me into reading this book, and nao im going to town tomorrow to get the book xD, Personally its to make her happy, but reading the comments im guessing that its going to be a great read! :)

  • @xbox360ownz1 Hahaha -- well, I hope you love it.

  • Ya I'm going to buy my best friend Shiver for her birthday. I know she'll love it! She's always had great taste in books!!! -Sarah

  • @Sarahs83747 I hope she loves it too!!

  • Haha you mad me laugh so bad XD I love your voice! You're amazing!

  • @midget61595 *grin* Thank you.

  • "And that is why werewolves are hot." Says it all ^_^

  • You're a genius! You don't know how much I LOVE your books! I'm trying to convince all my friends to read your books! Wish me luck!!! -Sarah

  • @Sarahs83747 LUCK! Thank you SO much for passing the word along, it makes such a huge difference.

  • I love your writing! I'm more than a little obsessd with Shiver. Awesome singing ;p

    And, honestly, I think that vampires were invented as an attempt to get bigger than werewolves.

    It went down like this: Werewolves were hot sh*t, then vampires were made up and were awesome for, like, a little while. And now, people realized that vamps are dead and all, and went back to werewolves. Who are hot.

    the end!

  • @StillOBSESSED LOL. I'm sure that's how it happened. Thank you for that. *grin*

  • I LOVE SHIVER so wish sam was real really i do love your books can't wait till linger

  • @diddies74 Thank you so much! I'm so glad you loved it!

  • lol i SO wish sam was real.. hes EVERYTHING-and yes, i do mean EVERYTHING- i want in a guy.... WHOE IS ME!! XD im totally in LOVE with shiver :P

  • @kricketbug599 *grin* I just blogged about this on my blog, actually (I don't think I can link to it here, you'd have to search. But anyway, so glad you loved it!

  • AHAHAA! THAT'S WHAT I DO WHEN I WRITE MY BOOK! I START TO PUT ON FALL OUT BOY AND START SINGING AND THEN MY LAPTOP FALLS OF MY BED WHEN I START TO GO A BIT CRAZY! LOOL!

    AND WHEN IM IN THE SHOWER I GET IDEAS FOR MY BOOK AND I HAVE TO RUN OUT THE SHOWER AND WRITE IT DOWN IN MY NOTEBOOK, SO FROM NOW ON I ALWAYS HAVE MY NOTEBOOK IN MY BATHROOM SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT THE BATHROOM AND GET SCREAMED AT! =]

    i lovee shiver! woop! (=

  • @MJJParamore I write on my hands, myself. :)

  • I love this so, so, so much. This just made my day.

  • And it making your day just made my day.

  • You are awesome! Sam and Grace are SO much better than Edward and Bella, btw...

    I want to be a writer one day, and people like you are the reason why!!!

  • *grin* That makes me really happy.

  • I was singing this song in the shower.
