hi uncle rick, how did you learn to slay this hard?

Rick Riordan Thank you -- this made me laugh! I love my job and I love my readers. I guess that's the main thing that helps. : )

Colleen
Colleen asked Rick Riordan:

In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, you spell Mother Earth's name "Gaia". Then, in the Heroes of Olympus it's "Gaea". Is there any specific reason why you switched?

Horatio
Horatio asked Rick Riordan:

Have you got any writing tips for teens? Also, how to come up with good ideas for stories. Thanks!

Yaaline
Yaaline asked Rick Riordan:

Have you seen any of the MANY web series made for your books? What do you think about them? And the web series are all great, but have you also read the countless fanfictions created? There are a bunch of amazing fanfictions, about EVERY possible scenario... and a lot of ships like Jason+Percy, KRONOS+Percy, Clarisse+Percy, and pretty much every character with Percy. Your opinion?
