tachypnoea asked: Mark I just want to thank you for abstinence in particular from reblogging posts solely with the intention of bemoaning or otherwise condemning (I don't mean to use such big words) the tired meme of the moment. Others I follow always seem to have comments like 'tumblr has killed another joke' and 'wow this is so unfunny i want to cry'. I appreciate that you don't.

victoriansecret asked: How long ago were you at Cedar Point? As amazing as Millennium Force is, Maverick is my favourite coaster in the park (and in the world). The pacing is SO PERFECT.
Anonymous asked: Are you secretly Sparky-Sparky Boom Man? Because that would be awesome! :)
thatssoalix asked: A while back I sent you an ask that involved LEGO castles and my deep love for you and you never responded.
I mean, I understand you get tons of these things so I am attempting to not take it in a YOU HATE ME kind of way.
I would just like to say, on the off chance you CHOSE to ignore it, that I am not as ridiculous as that ask made me seem... I hope.
I guess what I am...

platymadi-deactivated20130302 asked: is the ebook only Twilight or does it contain your reviews from all four books?

intruder replied to your post: So I wrote a book
stupid question: what’s ePub? and can I put this on my iphone to read at work because I have no service there?
YES! ePub is the format iBooks uses. Make sure you have the iBooks app, and it will load beautifully.

So I wrote a book
(Sort of.)
The Mark Reads Twilight ebook is real. I now have a storefront where I will be selling merchandise for Mark Reads and Mark Watches, as well as newly adapted books representing each set of my reviews for past series.
Wait, you might be saying, I have already read those reviews. Why would I buy a book?
HERE’S WHY:
These are adapted for a book form. In the course of doing so,...

belgianbollocks replied to your post: Trigger Warning for upcoming ask!
You could copy the ask into a text post and then add a TW before it?
OH. OH. I COULD.
THANKS! I never thought of that, sir. That’s a great point.
Anonymous asked: Mark,
Look I know you don't know me. I'm a random stranger, who hides behind a fake name on the internet and occasionally writes nonsensical comments on your blog/tumblr.
But I kind of want to thank you. Like a lot.
I spent most of my childhood ruthlessly bullied, or 'jokingly picked on'. I know I'm white, and a Christian and I am acutely aware that...

Since you can’t add TW to asks, I’m publishing one in a minute or so that deals with bullying, anxiety, and depressing, so heads up!

I just finished
Act One of Homestuck.
I was going to bail because IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET INTERESTING
but I am glad I stuck with it
because I am now intrigued by what the hell just happened
omg do i seriously get into everything years after the fact?
aquamirage asked: Hey Mark! I just wanted to say just how much I've been enjoying your reviews - I found you through your Avatar stuff (BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD, AMIRITE?) but I recently started watching Doctor Who and it's been so fun to go through your archives and see my FEELINGS BEING UNDERSTOOD SO WELL. Also you are generally such a delightful person! Thanks for bringing joy into my life! <3
mooncactus asked: Mark, I have a bit of a weird question... my bad if someone's asked already!
Out of all your Mark Does Stuff projects, what has made you cry the most? (And I mean in one go, not combining things from the course of the series or whatever)
And if it's from Doctor Who (anything after the new series's season 2) would you mind being very vague? I'm in the middle of...

smearedblack-deactivated2011112 asked: Mark: I relayed the taco holder ridiculousness to the woman I work with who just yesterday told me to shop for pajamas in the kid's section of WalMart because "WalMart caters to the Hispanics and we all know how big those kids are" and even SHE responded with "Yeah, that's just white people being dumb.

ohitsalex-deactivated20110712 asked: Okay, so, Stephanie (totallybat-tastic) and I have just kind of decided that you need to see the Harry Potter premier at the AMC Theaters in Citywalk which is right outside of Islands of Adventure, so we can go to WWoHP first and then camp out and cry all the tears with you.
The End.
The End.
Anonymous asked: You know, it always been a silly little daydream of mine to create my own sci-fi tv show. I'd think up episode ideas, characters and backstories, overarching storylines...even imagine what the soundtrack would be like.
Whenever I felt down or life got too difficult, I'd daydream about answering questions on a panel at conventions, or casting just the right actors to play each...

iced-chai asked: *takes a deep breath*
Mark.
I have a confession.
I've read Twilight.

But I've never read Harry Potter.
I... just wanted to get that off my chest. I do want to read at least the first book this summer and, thanks to the magic of the internet, I get to sorta/kinda read it alongside you. How cool...

Anonymous asked: This isn't so much an ask, but I wanted to thank you for your continued Mark Reads and Mark Watches projects - I was watching the series finale of A:TLA yesterday, and I've watched the series multiple times before, but since I've been reading your work I see more in it now than I did before - reading your analysis of things has helped me to read/watch things more critically, which...

totiebinds-deactivated20111122 asked: I'm not one that the Tumblr comm describes as "visually impaired" (my eyes suck, yes, but they're almost correctable), however I always read your picture descriptions because they are basically THE BEST EVER and sometimes they're even more entertaining than the picture itself. xD

do you know how many fanfics i have read where the Doctor has actually gone to Hogwarts? Because i’ve read A LOT.

itscandidlycara asked: I know you announced a little while back that you had a panel for LeakyCon, but I'm wondering if you'll have any non-LeakyCon affiliated MRHP meetups? Such as a Harry Potter midnight screening meetup in Orlando? Or MRHP meet ups in WWHP? Because that would give many of us ~ALL THE HAPPINESS~. :D
theteratophile asked: Are you going to do a Mark Watches GOT/Mark Reads ASOIAF? Because I'm really interested to see your thoughts on them! (Side note: STAY OUT OF THE FANDOM. The level of misogyny and homophobia some ASOIAF fen exhibit is just ridiculous.)
comealongcastellan asked: Also, I think you are a FABULOUS human being/magical creature/superheroe/time lord/dæmon/whatever else you are.

haikuparjour asked: The last ask reminded me of my summer job that I have coming up where everyone around me basically talks like that. Except they're high school kids at a summer camp/school. And I'm in charge of them. One girl last year had NEVER PUSHED A SHOPPING CART. BECAUSE THE MAID DID THE SHOPPING. Ugh.
I mean if adults talk like that it's one thing, but it really just kills me inside...
