What do you call people who Twitter? It can't be twits. Anyhow, Flycon has many twits or twitterers or whoevers. Some of them even remember to put a tag in so we can find out what they think of us. The thing is, right now everything is so shiny and new that people are being very nice. It's here: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23flycon

And Geoff Ryman will be in chat, in 45 minutes. I've already staked out the room. He is *such* a fabulous writer.

I'm having altogether too much fun. Flycon rocks :).

Chats with Stephen Hunt and Kate Elliott at the same time! And I like both authors. 25 minutes to make up my mind (or try for both).

Stephen is here (note for self): http://aboygoesonajourney.com/chat/FlashChat_v4712/chat/flashchat.php

I'm already in the right room for Kate.

Open question thread

I forgot it!

But fear not, I have remembered. I won't answer questions that take much work (money is a thing I use to buy groceries with so I shan't undercut myself) but anything you're curious about that I might know the answer to, ask. Food history stuff, where to buy strange foods, teh Middle Ages, the 18th century, how to write idolworshiping ants or dead morris dancers into a novel, life in Canberra, my strange past, Masques. If I can't asnwer it or if it's one of those big/much work questions that just *look* easy, I'll say. If it's something that embarrasses me I might stir you and still not answer the question. If anyone asks me yet again how long a piece of string is, well, it's been done before - find a more original silly question!

This offer is open till Flycon finishes. You can find that out here: http://www.awritergoesonajourney.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=286
