First Ever SF/F Live Chat!

Pthom · Mar 9, 2006

First Ever Official Absolute Write Science Fiction and Fantasy Live Chat!

Was a resounding success!

Transcript of the session is attached.

ETA: Transcript will be attached later, as soon as I can figure out how to get something as large as it is, in here. :-|

Dawno · Mar 9, 2006

I am so disappointed I had to miss it.

I'm looking forward to the transcript.

Sage · Mar 9, 2006

come on in. We're still chatting, Dawno

ChaosTitan · Mar 9, 2006

Yes, we are discussing hanging WIP's with labout dragon-limes and reel fig fish. It's a blast!

tjwriter · Mar 9, 2006

This was fun. I got to talk to people. Live, even.

TJ, whose maternity leave is making her lonely

Gillian · Mar 9, 2006

There were people there when I checked in hours and hours late (cos I can't tell the time). It was so much fun. Can we do it again please?

dante-x · Mar 9, 2006

Missed the boat on that one. When's the next one coming up?

Pthom · Mar 10, 2006

Next scheduled SF/F chat is in two weeks, March 23, 9PM EST (2AM GMT)

Still working on finding a way to include transcripts. Bear with . . .

DamaNegra · Mar 10, 2006

That's the official, right? We can still get together next thursday just because

It was fun!!

ChaosTitan · Mar 10, 2006

I'll probably be there next week, Dama. :Hug2:

Although I won't be able to stay on as late this time. My schedule at work has changed around, so my 5am day is now Friday morning. So I'll have to limit myself to about an hour of chat time.

Oh well, I'll make the most of it. And I'm happy to report that the cheesecake and punch were a rousing success!

Birol · Mar 10, 2006

Congrats. Sorry I missed it; looking forward to the transcript.

Sage · Mar 10, 2006

Can't you just copy & paste the text of the chat in a post here?

So, are we all thinking up prompts to talk about for the official chat in two weeks

Adam_Atlantian · Mar 10, 2006

This is great. I'm on spring break then. I can stay up all night. Gotta be careful though. I'm not really allowed to chat. Like this. As wonderful a tool this is. If i get caught on here i will be in deep trouble.

I may have to do just that. I was hoping to attach the text file to conserve band width. Patience.

Yes, please. Should I make a thread just for that purpose?

Sharon Mock · Mar 11, 2006

I'm very annoyed with myself that I missed the chat.

Next time...!

Dhewco · Mar 11, 2006

2AM GMT? Greenwich Mean Time? What time is that in the Eastern Time Zone? I forget how many hours away that is.

and, if you scan around in the forum, you'll locate a complete conversion table..

Dhewco · Mar 12, 2006

Boy is my face red, I am so sorry. I can't believe I glazed over that. I apologize.

David

Pthom · Mar 12, 2006

No problem, Dhewco. I miss stuff like that all the time. But you know? it sounds as though several of the others liked the first ever chat so much, they plan on dropping by the chatroom more frequently...and that's not a bad thing at all.

So feel free to check it out anytime. You may not always find SF/F afficionados there and in fact, you may not find anyone there at all. But on the other hand, if you do, talking with other writers in real time has to be a good thing, doesn't it?

Okay, so my job really IS trying to make me crazy. Apparently my early day is not changing to Friday, so I will be able to chat as long as I can keep my eyes open. :Thumbs:

DamaNegra · Mar 15, 2006

Is anyone going to pop by tomorrow?? I mean, we said we were going to hold regular chats each thursday, am I the only one still looking forward to it??

Minister · Mar 16, 2006

I may drop by if I get a chance, but I'm a quiet sort of fellow. Sounds like ya'll had fun last time, though.

tjwriter · Mar 16, 2006

Dama,

I plan on popping in tonight and seeing who's there. I think we said we would look for each other for informal chats on the "off" Thursdays. I feel like how a dog reacts; I'm thinking, "oh, oh, social hour. Yay. Social hour. Yay."

:Wha:

ChaosTitan · Mar 16, 2006

WOOHOO!!! Social hour!!!!

I'll be there :e2coffee:

and I'm bringing friends :e2stooges

Sage · Mar 20, 2006

I'm sorry I had to miss it.

My internet went down just before 9. The good news is that it was the last straw after months of shoddy service, & I finally called SBC & complained (a sucky hour & a half of talking instead of chatting OR writing). Two days later, though, my internet is all fixed, & all that down time made me stay off the board & finish my WIP :hooray:

(can you tell I'm really happy about that?) Anyway, looking forward to this week's. Do we have a plan or just general SF/F chatting?
