Sydney Webster asked Rick Riordan:

Riding pegasi seems much easier than riding horses, was there a backstory to why none of the "riding rules" applied? I would enjoy Percy attempting to ride a horse and discovering it is a completely different ball game LOL

Rick Riordan This is probably because I know literally nothing about riding horses, as you can tell. On the other hand, pegasi are sentient and able to talk to Percy, so maybe they try to take it easy on him. I don't know. And the whole physics problem of wings that can hold up a horse . . . that doesn't make much sense either. I guess we just have to suspend disbelief.

Hey, Rick! I'm very curious to know this: how do you feel about your brazilian fans calling you "Tio Ricky" or "Tio RiRi", which is basically "Uncle Ricky" and "Uncle RiRi", if you translate to English? p.s. "RiRi" is pronouced like "hihi"

EMMA ♡ asked Rick Riordan:

If you could choose only one character to write about from The Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson series, (BESIDES Percy) who would you choose?

Reese asked Rick Riordan:

Hey there! So, I know of the many renditions of the story we all love, Percy Jackson ( Movie, musical, show, ect.) But, I have heard of my own school doing a dance performance of the story! Also heard that you had seen it! How was that? Thanks!
