Where would YOU like Jim to appear?
Alilisa:
I may just stay home..wish it were closer, I'd definitely be there, I don't like driving that distance late at night, last time I got caught up in that dang thunderstorm and heavy downpour, ended up pulling off the road for about 20 mins. *L*
ClockworkMayhem:
I'm hoping he comes to Dragon*Con for 2014 - I know it's a long shot with him going to Gen Con earlier in the month, but I missed him last Dragon*Con. Hadn't yet read his books at the time, and while I wanted to see him (I'd planned on starting the books - they were on a long reading list!) we just couldn't make it to his panels! Now I've started the series, and it's torture every time I finish a new one (it takes me a day, a day and a half, tops, and then I often have to wait two weeks before we can afford to get me another book - I hate the waiting!), but I'm already on Changes and can't wait for Skin Game (which comes out on my birthday)!
Rambling aside, if he can't come to Dragon*Con this year, it would be awesome if he could come to Columbia, South Carolina. I'd be first in line!

Actually, the place I'd most like Jim to appear is Here.
When I first joined the boards all those years ago he was something of a regular in these parts, and even had a dedicated sub-board for Questions to ask him, which was one of the things that kept me coming back. But as time went on, as his following grew and his free-time dwindled, we haven't seen him nearly as much (his last post looks to have been back in 2012, giving us that awesome insight into the Archive). There's certainly nothing wrong with that, quite the opposite, but we miss him. I personally dont do twitter and usually steer clear Reddit the way an alcoholic avoids bars, and those seem to be his primary online interactions these days. I, like many of us here, don't have the travel freedom to reach most of his tour appearances, and Ive had terrible luck being able to get online and participate with the Reddit AMA's, though Ill certainly try again with the one coming up in May.
So here's my idea: Lets organize a Q&A for the Boards. We could vote up a short list of Questions from TCF's questions compilation thread, or a fresh submission poll. It would likely be more efficient than some of the Reddit AMA's because we know the WOJ section, and also the sort of Questions he wont answer. We could even ask the Mods/Beta's/Special Collections Division to vet the questions ahead of time to keep it worth-while, weeding out things that have been asked before, or will touch on Skin Game, etc. Make it something that's not precisely a Live interaction, so nobody has to worry about being at work or asleep while it's happening. We just submit the list by some deadline and he responds when he has time; I know he's a busy man and I do not want anything to derail his work (Needs me some Goggles and mafia Cats, posthaste!).
Rasins:
I love the idea Q.
Git'er done!
Magnus:
I want him here too, so sounds like a good idea, if Jim Butcher wants to do it, I support this idea.
