Where you "the funny kid" back in school? I feel like your personality I see expressed in your writer would say "YES!" but maybe its all just learned humor or trauma, and what was your favorite style of writing growing up? I feel like the bridge of horror - comedy is so contrasting yet SO ingenious when placed together
Jason Pargin
I thought I was but I don't think anyone else did. I said things I thought were funny even if no one else agreed, which is not a good way to become popular but you can eventually turn it into a career if things break just the right way

After discovering where the name Xarcrax actually came from, I couldn't help but wonder what ur process was in coming up with that. In fact, most of the books in this series have this "I'm going to mention this seemingly small detail, so it can come around and blow the reader's mind in the end." Like, do you write most of the book and when editing, think "you know what, what if.." or is the idea there from the start?

Hey Jason! I wanna first to say I am so amazed by your work and you are honestly my favorite author! I have read all JDATE and both Zoey books first in paperback then bought them again as audiobooks. I wish to thank you as these books have helped me through some tough times. and you make me wanna be a better creator myself. Oh yeah, it's supposed to be a question... so Jason, how are you doing?

Hi, I just started reading Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia and so far I'm loving it, I just have to ask: At the very beginning, Zoey is eating Doritos from a heated bag. Is this based on real technology? How can I eat heated Doritos? If I put Doritos in the oven would they "taste like they'd been pulled fresh from a deep fryer"?
