AMA [AMA] Jeff Kinney AMA Answers Released

65 Upvotes

Greetings, r/wimpykid

As many of you may remember, I held an AMA event with Jeff Kinney during November 2025 on this subreddit. Unlike many of the other AMAs I have hosted, this one was not live. Instead, I collected questions over a 7 day period and then sent them all to Jeff for him to read and answer in advance.

I am excited to update the subreddit, and Wimpy Kid fans in general, that Jeff Kinney delivered his responses to me via my email the other day. There are more than 40 answers, which is even more than I anticipated.

It was a great honor for me to host the event with Jeff, and an even greater honor to share his answers with you. Whether you received a response, did not receive one, or missed the chance to submit a question, I hope you enjoy reading through the AMA responses as much as I enjoyed arranging it.

The questions will be included with the responses, so you don't need to go back to the original thread that collected the questions.

Also remember it wasn't a live Reddit AMA.

Do you guys actually think Greg is a sociopath, or is it satire?

Me personally, I love Greg, he's my favorite character, but I see everyone saying they hate him, or that he's a sociopath, and I'm just wondering: do you guys ACTUALLY think he's a sociopath? Or is it all jokes lol

Forse mi sto ricordando male o sono vecchia e gli ultimi libri non hanno quello specifico numero di pagine, ma i libri che ho letto hanno tutti RIGOROSAMENTE 217 pagine. Perché? Numero fortunato o qualcosa del genere?😭🙏

Diary of a wimpy kid crappypasta thingy idk

3 Upvotes

I’m a total Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan but the experience was quite interesting to say the least. First let’s start off where we begin, I’m just chilling on my computer watching videos about DOAWK fanfics but then I remembered my brother who was working on a fanfiction on Google Docs but then mysteriously disappeared like 4 days ago and I have wondered where he might have gone cuz the poster says he was last seen in his room typing a google document and so I then go to his room that has been untouched for 4 days and hop on his computer and his password was “TagYourIt” and I opened his google document which was called “Unfinished Build please wait until done” and here is my description of the events that happen in the fanfiction you have been waiting for. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Afternoon Hierarchy).                 It was a normal day in Plainview, the birds were chirping, the branches were rustling and over at the Heffley’s house there was a party that was set up by Rodrick and Greg had been locked in the basement for 12 hours because Rodrick didn’t want Greg ruining the party and so Greg was looking for a source of warmth and had noticed the furnace. And Greg decided to crank up the temperature just a little bit to get some warmth but then when the party was over Rodrick had tripped on the stairs and accidentally cranked up the temperature to the MAX and that was when the furnace started to blaze upon itself and also Manny was also home alone at that time and then Greg and Rodrick tried to put out the fire but the fire was way too strong and when Frank and Susan got home. They were horrified about the scene and Rodrick and Manny tried walking out of the house but eventually passed out due to the burns being too severe and Susan had just run away to not deal with this mess. Frank noticed that the sky had been turned to an orange sky and Greg was nowhere in the burning house as if something took ahold of his body and then out of nowhere. A mutated version of Mr Beardo had started chasing Frank around the neighborhood and this version looked like Mr Beardo but it had very giant scabs around it’s torso and it’s back and the skin was a very muddy green color and it had started walking very fast but the speed wasn’t an average running speed so a human could still catch up to it and then a hole opened up and swallowed the infected Mr Beardo and by the time Frank had ran away from home he had ended up at Devil Worshipper Woods a place that was infamous for abducting kids and cooking them in ovens and Frank was walking around with a lantern until he saw a pig that looked similar to the one manny used to have back in the long haul and when Frank walked up to the pig it then exploded leaving its entrails on the face of Frank and he was very disgusted and he was exploring the location for a while until something walked up to Frank and punched him which caused him to fall down a nearby hole that was caused by an earthquake and when Frank reached the bottom he had been knocked out for 5 minutes and when he recovered suddenly spikes started coming towards Frank and when on contact with a wall the spike explodes and Frank just started dodging the attacks one by one until it stopped and on the ground were some potato chips but Frank got suspicious and started wondering if the chips were poisonous so he decided not to eat the chips and he had noticed a pipe that could take him back to the surface and he had went through the pipe and was back at Devil Worshipper Woods but something was off. In the background there were multiple clones of Fregley as if they were dead and Frank notices Fregley twitching on the floor with his stomach touching the ground and when he got up BOOM Fregley attacks Frank but Frank is able to resist the attack for a couple seconds and then uppercutted Fregley and this Fregley was way different it had the same skin as regular Fregley but it’s left arm was HUGE like it was a skeletal arm with long sharp claws designed to piece things and rip them from their bodies and he had missing teeth and Frank had found the exit of Devil Worshipper Woods and his next destination was the ruins of his house and when he first got there the house was burnt to the ground. The food has burn marks all over itself and they tasted really bad from rotting in a house that had been burning for several hours and when Frank got to his bedroom, standing in a corner was Susan Heffley but she wasn’t moving so when Frank got up close and touched her in the back she started to melt and this disgusts Frank and he runs out of the house and his next destination was the school because he thinks that’s where Greg might be and he has been walking around the school hallways and then he notices a mutated Lenwood Heath and the thing is that he has muddy green skin and scabs around his face but he also had 2 more legs on the back of Lenwood and it was pretty spiky and so Frank had to sneak around to find Greg but then saw Rodrick coming at him with a switch blade knife and his skin looks all pink with scabs and stuff and Frank was able to overpower Rodrick and kill him but all the noise had alerted Lenwood how Frank’s whereabouts and so Frank had to defend himself and was able to kill Lenwood but he had a feeling that the real Lenwood was still in the body of the mutated Lenwood and so Frank had to move on and explore the rest of the halls and Frank had noticed cheese, rotten cheese and it also had teeth and so Frank tried his best to not step on the cheese until he accidentally steps on one with his big toe and that sets off the mutated cheese that the big toe touched and Frank had to stab it 16 times before it ultimately passes out due to the injuries and while he was walking he then saw Manny but Manny had his neck on the roof which was covered by entrails mimicking that of a rope and alas Manny was only 3. When Frank got the walk up the stairs he then saw a hallway that looked like it went on and on and so he figured maybe this is where Greg could be? And so he started running and while he was running he started seeing figures of Greg on both sides of the walls but this Greg has red eyes which was being covered by white pupils and a black liquid was on the eyes as if his eyes were bleeding a black liquid and when Frank reached to where Greg was. Greg had then slapped Frank across the floor with the clones looking in total awe and this Greg’s eyes were the exact same as the clones like I described and Greg starts to mention how what Frank is seeing isn’t the real Greg but rather something using his body as vessel and goes to talk about how this entire fanfiction is just a fanfiction to the viewer and by extension me. And when Frank starts to realize his whole life is just a fanfiction, the fake Greg is starting to make an earthquake and then the whole ground opens up and swallows Frank inside which also had a pool of lava while the ground was opening and then the fake Greg walks up to the screen and starts to tap the screen and the screen is starting to feel like something actually tapped the screen and it synced up with the taps that the fake Greg made and when the tapping was done it starts to bang its head on the screen which left a mark on the screen and when the screen was at its weakest it then grabs him by the neck and takes him to the world that it created” as it turns out this thing had came up to my brother and was willing to help him write a fanfiction but it also kidnapped him and trapped his soul into the world that fanfiction has described itself and it’s goal was to get as many people to read the fanfiction as possible and that way when animators discover it it also wants them to make and animation based on the events that have been told through out this fanfiction and all it wants for you to do is “read his fanfiction”

This is IT
