Yay, I had talked to the people over at BBB a lil over a month ago and they had said that they hadn't heard back on this yet. I'm so glad that Jim is doing this again, it will be my first.
Priscellie, I mentioned earlier how I would like to perform an acknowledged "official" function for this.
I'd love to answer questions like "do you play the RPG" and have people know that Jim mentioned that I am just repeating things he has said in the past as answers to his questions.
I.E. For that one, since I don't have an excerpt for it in the "compilation" I wouldn't say I was quoting I'd say...
Jim has said several times in the past that he doesn't play the RPG because if he were a player he would be a GM's nightmare, if they dissagreed on how something in the game works Jim would be like "Yes it works that way! And if necessary, I'll write it that way in the next book." And Jim won't GM a game because well.... that's just too much like work.
-
It's better overall if Jim actually answers the questions (well, the ones he chooses to answer). That's kinda why people are there in the first place. Plus, Jim's been known to throw a curveball now and then even on the standard questions, and I know *I* don't wanna miss that! :)
-
Look forward to this :) (In my opinion, these bitten by Books Q&A gets the most interesting answers :) ) also, I like I can be where it happens for once, due to USA is a bit far away from sweden :P
-
Ooooh ok, have to figure out what time that is then. almost 10am Mon here, almost 5 am Sun there sooo...I'm 5 hours ahead the next day . So monday noon there will be tuesday 5pm here>?? I think? gah time conversions confuse me.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ <--link from the bittenbybooks site, and they said they were in the Chicago timezone.
hope that helps :)
-
That's how I calculated it :)
-
I just RSVP'd and I am #100! Nice crowd, no? Looking forward to visiting tomorrow.
-
Hmm should I rsvp? it's only to enter the competition isn't it?
-
The Q&A has started. It looks like you just post your question in the comment field at the bottom of the page, along with your first name, last initial, and your country. BBB requests that you only ask three questions today, though I'm not sure what will happen if you ask more than that. (And I'm sorely tempted to find out, but it would probably be rude. Tarnation.)
-
There is one other question that I feel is vital to our collective knowledge going into Cold Days. Since I've used up my questions, I cannot ask it myself. If anyone is looking for a question to ask at the Q&A, here it is:
Is it possible for Harry to deliver some pizza to the Mothers? They kinda seem like they're stuck in that cottage. They may never have even tried pizza before. And as the Pizza Lord, isn't it sort of Harry's responsibility to make the offer?
-
I opened the site in Firefox and in Google Chrome and I still can't see all the replies. Any suggestion on what to do?
Refreshing the page doesn't help :(
-
So it's a slow day at work, therefore I'm keeping a running document of Jim's answers on the blog. Will post in a new thread when it's finished. ;)

*itches to answer*
one of the first books that brought me to the dresden files was small favor. my question is will we be seeing any of the denarians make a return.
with quotes from recent signings.

Just got one of my favorite theories shot down. (progression from :( to :-\ to ;D )...
Apparently Kincaid doesn't have a little Drakul in him just waiting to come out.

Looks like today's session is officially over. Very Fascinating.
According the "contest", it seems like there might be second session of Q&A tomorrow? Can anyone confirm?
-
Got my questions answers.
Good news: My next Wizard PC is going to be scary ;D
But, no Gladiators in Alera, ever. No old school Pokemon battles... :'(

That would be great ;D
And yay, I got my questions answered*is happy*

Jim answered one of mine. He was online for about three hours, and only had time to get to about half of the questions. I don't know if there will be another Q&A session in the future.
-
He answered mine last week (or the other one) I had to shop for my son's birthday today, so missed this one, darn. But thanks, Jim, for doing these, they are extremely helpful! What a great guy, most wouldn't do anything like this, that's why I love this author, Jim never lets his fans down!
-
So good of Jim to take some time to answer our questions especially us non-american fans. I got the wrong time too, it was 5am, not pm like I thought. Lucky I had to get up early to finish a project (of which the quality was poor due to this :) )
