Question Wed--THE COVER OF THE FAULT IN OUR STARS!

[emperorsenshi]

whoever got the hanklerfished AND yetified copy... you're a lucky puppy-sized elephant.

[stude444]

I'm sorry John, I can't hear you over your shirt.

[melpomene99]

Why haven't you guys announced the winner of the Abundance Of Covers contest? The website says that a winner should've been chosen "On or about January 6th, 2012"! It's February 12th!

[heytherelottie]

that. is a terrible shirt.

[smiletimes3]

HOLY CRAP ME AND MY FRIEND JUST FOUND "SUPER SAD TRUE LOVE STORY" IN A HALF PRICE BOOKS LIKE A WEEK AGO AND YOU MENTIONED IT. I feel strangely at peace with the world.

[charditt]

The advert next to this video was for a dating site called Geek2Geek. How do they get these things so perfect??

[alremul]

"Debating the oxford comma is one of those things that reminds me we're all gonna die"

Seriously?? You deserve the entire internet.

[katiekat811]

So who got the yetied and hanklerfished copy? And where can I find this person so I can bribe them to give it to me?

[funfuz]

Did the nameless boy from unknown location return to archaeology class? And did he pass?

[stecky87]

Writing really good Arrested development slash fiction - funniest line ever

[kindofchoclate]

omg hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy reference??!

[oreo123cookie123]

Initially when I saw this video I was like "Eeeh, its's not the best cover."

Several months later having read the book I realize that this cover is TIMELESSLY PERFECT.

[TheAmericanGleeFan]

How did you like the Netherlands?

[SnowingWolfGirl]

Haha. Hank isn't big enough for Napolean XD

[RUNNINGxFROMxLIONS28]

i wonder who ended up with the hanklerfish&yetified copy...

[ajswanson91]

Has the winner for cover designing contest been announced yet? I'm really curious to see what the new cover will be :)

[wolfiegirl81]

I actually really like the cover. I think it fits perfectly.

[flamingundies1]

The cover has changed a little since then, but I still love it! :)

[Rithene]

I like how the cover turned out as opposed to the one in this video. Normal, black, orderly font just doesn't fit the book.

[IWANTY0UBLEEDERS]

Arrested Development FTW.

[TheOfNothing]

i was looking forward to the details of the porcupine fight

[jannukas59]

[TheHelkai]

@Haylstrom YESSS! HE HAS MENTIONED THAT LIKE TEN BILLION TIMES.

[TheseMusicalLyrics]

[xxArTmAtTeRsxx]

Who is your favourite character in Harry Potter?

[jullachris90]

I hope everyone have seen the remix of this video, it's AWESOME! /watch?v=kesxJDsKP34

[fishforcompliments]

Why the oxford comma is important: We invited the strippers, Hilter, and Stalin to our party vs. We invited the strippers, Hilter and Stalin to our party.

[PolaroidNerd99]

I like this guy and we are almost dating but our siblings are dating, what should I do???

[mao387]

John, recently i stopped going to all my classes. I started off really really excited about college, but after 3 months, i kinda fell back into a the same depression i had back in high school. How do you stay motivated to keep going on every day?

[tarquinnff3]

We've got or we have?

[SunnySammySue]

Cover Love!

[phoebexanne]

I can't believe you don't feel the Oxford comma needn't be discussed at every possible opportunity. But seriously, I actually AM curious where you stand on its usage.

[KG989]

@SchoolOfStitchcraft I could make strawberry wine. With the set up I have now it wouldn't be too hard. However it's more the shipping of it that concerns me. As I know it's legal to make the wine but I don't know if it's legal to send bottles full of wine through the mail.

[Nerdfighter12]

Where can you ask questions for question Wednesdays? Twitter, specific youtube videos, or does it matter?

[MegaBookWormGirl]

You have hot pockets?! You have no idea how awesome that is to me because I made up this parody to the song Rockstar by Nickelback about what I'd do if I became a published author and it goes like this.

Cause I just wanna be a world-class author

So I can dress how I want and live off hot pockets

But yeah. You're a published author. Which I want to be. And you have hot pockets. You did not forget to be awesome!!! 8D

[SammHpTwifan]

My question is if I don't spit out my gum will your wife come and punch me in my stomach?

[ThaEther]

John, a while ago you made a recommendation of a Swedish hiphop song.

I'm a Swedish Nerdfighter and I had no idea about this.

My question is, why did you recommend it and how did you even find it?

[polykuromu]

Why don't any of your main characters have any siblings?

[firehop8]

Question: I'm looking for a good charity to donate to. Any suggestions?

[IGoHereNow]

Question: Are you able to talk about your period of depression, or does it still hurt? Does it get better?

[Floatout2sea]

My bet is, dude dropped the class.

[theanachronismkid]

JOHN! will the fault in our stars be distributed to australia or will I have to spend several days sobbing

[godwin972]

If you could give ununtrium any new name, what would it be? :3

[TheBurningMan98]

[Starlightthedark]

[daemonhybrid]

Arrested Development. Your mention of it made my day~!

[Iheartdogdemons]

THE PUFF! THE PUFF! YOU'VE LOST CONTROL, JOHN!

[KOakaKO]

HI JOHN!

What is the one thing you like the most about doing all this book signing?

[ohheyitsstargirl]

John said slash fiction. Heehee.

[JessLikestoKnit]

youtube.com/watch?v=kesxJDsKP3­4

[Ozboz34]

@sixyellowwalls That's my ringtone.

[chef9101]

Should there, or should there not, be such thing as an exclamation cama? Just because you're excited about something doesn't mean you have to end your sentence.

[LifeIsMiraculous]

Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?

[LifeIsMiraculous]

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

[wolfey1777]

Where did the question mark come from?

[dhiriart89]

Both you and David Sedaris are often in the Netherlands doing book promo stuff. Are american authors super celebrities in the Netherlands? Do you ever hang out with other popular authors?

[gwyn15]

what is the first thing you are going to do once you have finished signing all the pre-orders?

[InsaneShark01]

[MicahBear78]

Does the phase of the moon have anything to do with when you get your hair cut?

[ThingMaBobJimmy]

@The5k33t I'm not trying to provoke you or anything, just curious :) personally, I like simple covers for books, but to each his own, I guess.

[cbprice25]

I love love love the cover.

[55Fanpire55]

:O a jodi picoult review on the front <3

[BexLolli]

Nice Cover! I'm excited!

[jasenkahana]

I replied with "No, It's question Tuesday!"

[carley5k]

[jasenkahana]

[CT27NX]

[musicjonas92]

Just got done with listening to the first chapter of TFIOS and very happy with the cover due tot he fact that it is narrated by a 16 year old.

[KristiJesss]

After hearing the first chapter of The Fault in Our Stars, I'm very happy with this cover!

[k7370]

[MySymphonic]

Brevity is the stamp of beauty, sealed in the mouths of men.

[MrGrin2]

OH NO!! I Want the Hanklerfish and Yetified book!!

[myawkwardteenagife]

I seriously made one, was super proud of it, spent ages doing it. then go to the website and see that you have to live in USA to submit :(

why you no like England!

stupid penguin people

[MiaTakahashi]

I preordered the Kindle Version of Fault in Our Stars, is there anyway you can sign my kindle? lol

[neutralsoymilkhotel]

"arrested development slash fiction" are possibly the four greatest words you have ever uttered in a video

[JudithGkorn]

@M4rple yeah... That makes sense..... But that law really sucks : D

We can still design and share stuff though.... The beauty of the internet.

[livinonaprayer802]

You said "Arrested Development slash fiction", I raised my arms and shouted "Steve Holt!"

[YouAreNowWatchingMua]

I have had a thing for this guy at my school for 5 years and we used to be close but we grew apart and now seldom speak.... How can I start talking to him again without it being awkward? I need to because we are graduating in june!

[archangeloz]

Will you please expand on your love for As Simple As Snow - if not here, perhaps on Tumblr? Thanks!

[bri9irl1991]

I'm sorry, what? I was looking at your hair. O.O

[syracuse5610]

Can Henry sign one of the Fault in Our Stars?

[bailey51634]

@syracuse5610 GUINNESS



[hypertune483]

BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT!

sorry I just finished Hamlet last week. I couldn't resist.

[NickFiddian]

I'm in nerdfighterlike with a young adult female who lives a bit too far away from me and we have a difference of views which sort gets in the way of our nerdfighterlike. I really like this young adult female, what should I do?

[beyondmemorix]

Could you possibly help me with my nerd like? I'm thinking after all we've been through it's fairly close to nerd love. I would really like to do something awesome for her birthday (In February) and I have an idea but John.... I would like to ask your help. Please?

[Miakinzzz]

oh blue guys.

[Tropiduridae]

I'm relatively new to Nerdfighteria and a friend of mine just told me about the Project For Awesome, is that still happening this year? I'd love to jump in!

[bakerybabe29]

What is your favorite cereal?

[MekoeMorningGlory]

I had a dream about Looking For Alaska and it made me wonder if you dream about the stories you right?

[oljadohi]

I'm sorry John, but that cover is really poor compared to some of the Nerdfighters' attempts...

[AndreeaJonsson]

I really don't like the cover :(



[lilangel2407]

I'm not sure about the book cover. I liked some of the ones designed by Nerdfighters a lot better. Sorry, that's just my opinion

[twilightagain]

My best friend from high school decided to go to college to be an author or "creative writer". She is taking quite a few writing classes but she isn't enjoying any of them and her grades are really bad in those classes. Now she's super stressed because she wants to be an author really badly but everything in school says she shouldn't be. Should she change her major?

[twilightagain]

I am a freshman in college and even though you're supposed to be able to make a lot of friends at college I only have five (school has been going on for two months now). Plus they are all upper classmen so by next year I'll be friend-less on campus again. By now it seems like everyone has made up their own cliques and I can't seem to find a group to fit into. Is this bad? Should I be concerned that I can't seem to make friends with my own class?

[0dnan]

Given you had a massive robot, would you want it to be in one piece for yourself to control or would you want it to divide into five separate pieces to share control with your friends?

[ACWNerdfighter]

can you please let Henry sign some TFIOSs?

[paperbookmark]

Considering AAoK is my favourite John Green book, I will be entering *gets creative juices flowing*

[gnomes23051994]

i love listening to you, your so intelligent :)

[K9Negative]

i was gone for almost two weeks without internet access. I needed my nerdfighters fix

[spainish101]

@amiradelal No worries :) I recently decided to reminisce a bit and go back and watch the first year of vlogbrothers. But when I tried looking for them a lot of the videos were no longer on the vlogbrothers channel. For example the first vlog ever made by John isn't up, and I think an entire week in January is missing. The first year of brotherhood 2.0 is so important! It contains so many need to know facts like how the named nerdfighters came about and the identity of our greatest enemy.

[amiradelal]

@spainish101 I think John accidentally uploaded two of the b2.0 videos on to his (former) personal channel "sparksflyup" - so if you go onto that you can watch January 2 and January 10. Other than that, I hope they didn't take any videos down!

[spainish101]

@amiradelal January 2, 6,7, 13,14,20,21,27,28 are missing. And that's only the first month :(

[amiradelal]

@spainish101 January 2 & 10 are on the channel Sparksflyup - all the other days you mentioned are weekends. They didn't post videos on weekends or holidays for b2.0. :)

[tuxxedomask]

Arrested Development slash fiction . . . oh man. What idea have you planted in my mind?

[daniellesguess]

That cover has no shoes. WHAT IS THIS?

[suburiboy]

what is your opinion on streaking? (And for full disclosure, I go to UVa, where it is a tradition.)

[mynameisvanille]

@suburiboy UVA!!! Charlottesville!!! YAY!!!

[therchas]

What grievous affliction hath befallen you?

[QuiddicalMass]

Query: Will you ever play a different game on Hankgames without Hank? How about an online one versus Hank?

[xxxheliotropepajamas]

what was your favorite secret place at Kenyon? if you answer this I'll actually go find it because i go to Kenyon

[NFLegolas]

When's the TFIOS advanced readers copy coming out???

[nihaorachel]

I like the cover! No girls face, wooo

[gothsesshomaru01]

slash fiction :D

[o0STS0o]

Just so you know, when I start to actually have some sort of income, you (John Green) will be one of my favourite writers!

[TheAllirishReject]

Whoa.. Major puff levels :P

[ladybugr2d2]

i can't wait to read it.

[iliveinmyhead]

I love the cover. I will feel very cool when reading it in public. Thanks for sharing xx

[stinger55555]

Good morning, John. This youtube post comes to you in two parts (both questions).

1. How do I get over the awkwardness of talking with my ex in person after not having any contact for years?

2. What did you think of Improv in Toronto's video where ninjas ambushed pedestrians?

[Spudheadsmily]

what's the square root of 2?

[SpiffyMcSnazzy]

TEAM OXFORD COMMA!

[HumanChemistry101]

John, pretty cool, your Katherines book. Someone threaded me about you, and have added an extensive section on your book to the “equation of love” article at Hmolpedia, as well as a page on you, and a discussion of you in the “anagram” article, which curiously highlights the fact that both you and Goethe extensively used anagrams in your equation of love theme novels. Feel free to join us as a member at Hmolpedia.

[KinoDrummer]

cant wait for the new book to show up in my mail :)

[lisagarbutt]

I like this guy who's really nerdy and quiet and i always see him at lunch alone on the grass twidling his thumbs,but he's really really shy and im really really shy HOW DO I TALK TO HIM?!!?!

[mith59]

@lisagarbutt Close to speaking range and let words come out of your mouth.  Doo eet.

Seriously, do it, you'll always wonder if you don't and once you get started it'll probably be easier than you thought it would be.

[olivethepiglet]

hi

[TheLoudOne10]

@GONEmypurpleflapjack does this smell like chloroform to you? X)

[nobodycouldhavethis]

what can you ever really know for certain?

[Piratemaniac17]

I wore a "Pizza" shirt to Universal Studios the other day, and I met 3 nerdfighters! Guess who is wearing their "Pizza" shirt to Universal more often?! THIS GIRL.

[MrSpazzyunicorn]

0:15 he blinks

[bradleyorion]

Looks like 2 sheep humping

[evenstar196]

What inspired to start writing, and how do your story ideas come to you? (I know its rather broad but perhaps you can have a go at answering)

You're one of my favorite authors, so I want to thank you, and I think I speak for the whole of Nerdfighteria also, for signing EVERY copy of the 1st printing of The Fault in Our Stars. Great cover too! :D

[evenstar196]

Jeeze Claudette.

:)

[InherentlyNerdy]

I don't want to beat a dead horse but... Are you really signing all of the pre ordered copies of fault in our stars?...
