Looking for Authors to Interview
Hi Armada, I might be interested. I'm a fantasy writer, sounds like a cool discussion. let me know the time and I'll see if it works.
Sounds interesting. I also write YA Fantasy. Depending on the time, I can do this.
I'm thinking this Friday from 3pm to 9pm. I still every time slot available. Give me the time you can do it, and I'll mark it off.
I can do 7-8 EST on Friday. Just let me know where I need to be and what you need me to do!
6pm EST until close on Friday.
How/where are you doing this? Google Hangout? YouTube? GoodReads? Other...?

It'll be done via Google hangout and it'll go to my YouTube. Spider and Mary, I circled you and will be adding you to the hangout at 6 and 7.
Thomas, Central would be 2pm to 8pm. I still got at least one spot at any given time available, so take a pick.
I would personally love to do this and I know of 5 or 6 other authors who would as well.
I'll take 7pm! (Best for last, right? Hehe)

Armada -
One question, kind of important....
We doing PG-13 or...?
I don't want to break any rule you may have on that. If I know beforehand it makes it easy to self-censor. :)
Edit:
I know sex and violence are acceptable topics, but words used in discussing tend to be different. :)

No need to self-censor. I don't think I could go for 5 minutes without cursing - 5 hours would be impossible for me.
Armada wrote: "No need to self-censor. I don't think I could go for 5 minutes without cursing - 5 hours would be impossible for me."I'd be interested in being involved. Please let me know the details.
I do believe I'd like to be involved as well if you stilll have room. =)
Definitely get Scott. :) I vouch for the man. He's good people.
Got enough space for both. Still got all times opened, except a few where I might have to move it 15 minutes in one direction or another. I don't want to introduce everyone at the same time, so I'm spacing to have new faces show up every 15-30 minutes.
I'm game, just give me time and place and I'll figure it out. :D
Thomas wrote: "I'll take 7pm! (Best for last, right? Hehe)"Can I put you for 7:15 or 6:45 instead? And that's 7 central, right?
I have 1 spot for 8:30 and a ton of spots between 3 and 6. Anyone else wants to jump in?
How does this work in Google Hangouts? Do I need to look for a special group or something?
Armada wrote: "I have 1 spot for 8:30 and a ton of spots between 3 and 6. Anyone else wants to jump in?"I'd love to do one earlier in the day. I've got a radio show I'm doing Friday from 9-10PM EST.
What time zone is this?
Me! Just self pubbed my book Limn the Mask on CreateSpace. Infraction it's free on kindle starting at midnight 7/3/13-11:59 p.m. 7/3/13. Do you have to have a computer camera? How is this interview working?

No. Not infraction try "in fact" Mr.spellcheck!

She will add us to Circles (Google's little thing for groups of people) and as long as you are online you will be invited to the Hangout (Google's little video/audio/group chat thing).
That is such a basic description I almost feel dumber for having added it... ;)

Marry and Scotty, I decided to start it a little later since it seems people have jobs. So, I can get you on at 4:00. And it's EST time zone.
You can do it without a camera, we just won't be able to see you then. That's the biggest reason I haven't done this before. I didn't have a camera compatible with Ubuntu. Now I sold out and got Windows

4PM EST Friday. Got it! I'll even make sure I take a shower that day. :D

I await with horror the day someone invents a device that would allow us to smell each other through google hangouts...

Armada wrote: "Thomas wrote: "I'll take 7pm! (Best for last, right? Hehe)"Can I put you for 7:15 or 6:45 instead? And that's 7 central, right?"
That'll work! And yes, it is ;-)
I gotta say there's a little anxiety on my end about the technology piece, Armada, could you send me some kind of Google hangout earlier on so I can see how it works?
Danielle wrote: "No. Not infraction try "in fact" Mr.spellcheck!"Don't feel too bad, it could've been worse. I found this compilation of text messages that fell victim to autocorrect http://sarcasticsarcasms.blogspot.co....
F.F. wrote: "I gotta say there's a little anxiety on my end about the technology piece, Armada, could you send me some kind of Google hangout earlier on so I can see how it works?"Would love to. I haven't played around with hangouts either and was planing on experimenting first anyway. When can you do it? I have time before 3pm on Friday or anytime before 8pm on Thursday.

Have you tried the On Air hangouts? They are awesome! It streams live so you can put a link out for non-googlers to watch as well. And when you are done, it uploads it to Youtube and sends you a link so everyone can share it with their fans!

Sounds great. I'd be interested.

That's exactly what I'm planing on using. I was also thinking about recording it for a podcast, but I'm not very good with audio editing side of things, so I'll have to play around with it first. As far as I see it, it widens the audience and if I'll be recording it anyway, might as well go an extra step.

Armada wrote: "Scotty wrote: "Armada wrote: "F.F. wrote: "I gotta say there's a little anxiety on my end about the technology piece, Armada, could you send me some kind of Google hangout earlier on so I can see h..."Exactly. Plus, it gives everyone something to share not only within their circles, but beyond to their blogs, facebook page, goodreads profile etc.
Tis a noble and awesome thing you are doing. Thanks!

I am so sorry I just saw this reply.

I am so sorry I just saw this reply.
I'd be interested, too. I can do one of the early slots--if you have another for 4 or 4:15.
I have to double check (don't have the schefule on me) If I don't have another 4ish spot, but I can find one more person who can do earlier hours, I can go with my original plan and start it at 3, which would open up 2-3 more spots. Also, I got a half an hour between 8:30 and 9 that I can have someone else on.
Scotty, it's my way of procrastinating. I have to write 25000 words in the next ten days and I really don't want to, but I know I'll feel guilty if I don't do at least something useful.
K.D. wrote: "I'd be interested, too. I can do one of the early slots--if you have another for 4 or 4:15."Just checked my writeup and I have a spot from 4:30 to 5:30 and from 8:15 to 9:00

Sounds good! I haven't done a google hangout before so if I need to do any preliminary stuff let me know. That is 4:30 to 5:30 EST, just to confirm. I'm CST.

Armada wrote: "I'm planning an online, live chat with authors. I'd like it to be an all day event with different authors coming on at different times (2-3 at a time). It'll be structured as a relaxed conversation..."Hi, I'm interested. Seems like an interesting concept. My book is a mystery/sci-fi. In the Beginning was recently published and I need the publicity. Let me know if you have room for me.
Sex and violence are acceptable topics for the conversation, so if your target audience is children, this might not be a good chat for you.
If you want in on this, send me a message and we'll figure out the time. I think I'll do it on Friday, but I need to make sure I have enough authors for a constant stream.
