12 Problems Only John Green Fans Will Understand
8. The Whole YouTube Thing
Not only is John Green a New York Times best-selling author, he's also an avid YouTuber, creating video blogs with his brother Hank.
John Green fans, it seems, come in two forms: those who know and those who don't. This problem flips depending on which kind of fan you are. Fans of Green who are also fans of the vlogbrothers tend to know much more about Green than just the content of his work, like the mystery of the ruined NES, the name for his oft-wild hair or his penchant for facial peanut butter. Fans who only know Green through his writing are easily confused by references to Pizza John, French The Llama and The Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers. They're merely fans of the man's writing, and that's fine, too - though things do get confusing when the two types of fan interact.
