Calling all Aussies
Just out of curiosity, how did you all find out about Vaginal Fantasy? I was introduced to the group by Alexander posting a link to one of the hangouts and I watched it while sick at home with the flu, have been hooked ever since :)
Uh sorry, stupid auto correct obviously doesn't like Alesha's name lol
I found it by being a Felicia Day fan and already knowing that she liked Jacqueline Carey and another author that I liked as well. Speaking of which, did you know that it's Felicia's birthday today in America? She was born on the 28th, which is the same day as my sister, Felicity. Just another coincidence to make me like her all the more.And I am sorry I missed the google+ meet up, been swamped with Drs appointments this week and they have wiped me out. Really hope to make it to next month. Also, I am not that far from Sydney (ok 2 hours drive) but would still love to try to meet up if a group got together IRL.
I will be in Sydney for a week in July so we could try and meet up then, maybe?

But recently it was linked to me again and after watching it, and actually getting some of the jokes, I was clicking around on youtube some more to find other gems - yes, I'm very late to the whole youtube thing too!
I found Felicia's Skyrim video where she talked about all her vast wealth and houses...which prompted me to get Skyrim and spend 6+ hrs stumbling around like a drunk(a whole other thread!).
And then I clicked around some more and found the 3rd Hangout video. I had not realised that other people out there enjoyed my love of blended genres, let alone have a whole book club. YAY.
I visit Sydney pretty regularly so it would be awesome to have an in person meet up.
I've loved the Guild since the beginning as I use to play WOW (still do sometimes) and I've enjoyed a lot of Felicia's other work, so I was very excited by her starting Geek and Sundry but didn't know much about it. I went to her Facebook page to see what I could find out and stumbled on her VF link there. That plus Sword and Laser meant I had to join goodreads and now I'm loving it.
I've created a google+ event for us all, so if you could let us know you're coming to the next hangout that would be great. Reminder, it's the 25th July, 8pm EST. Also if you haven't added me already you can find me at the link below.

Can't wait and don't forget to bring a drink! :D
Looking forward to the hangout tomorrow night!!
Work has been a bit crazy lately. I will def try to make it tomorrow night. Huzzah!
Had a great Hangout with the Ladies, it was wonderful to chat about the books and so many other things.Next Hangout is set for August 22nd 8PM. Hope to see you all there!
it was really fun Mel, thanks for hosting, even if we had some technical difficulties. :)
That was so much fun! Looking forward to the next one :) Yes, thanks for hosting Mel - and trying to keep us on track :D
I am in Sydney but I don't think that is going to help when most of you are in Canberra and Melbourne!
Susan we meet online like the VF ladies do through google hangout, so anyone can join.
I am not super tech savvy. Er...how does one do that?
Susan wrote: "I am not super tech savvy. Er...how does one do that?"Hey Susan, I'm new to the G+ hangout thingy too. But if you have a web cam, a mic and a Google+ account thingy set up. When the hangout time comes around, you just sit back like I did, and get Mel to do all the techy-invite stuff. :) Don't forget your glass of beverage either. :)
Susan wrote: "I am not super tech savvy. Er...how does one do that?"Yeah I was a bit worried about it too - ended up being really easy! My laptop has a built in webcam so I didn't have to have a separate one.
Susan wrote: "I am not super tech savvy. Er...how does one do that?"If you need a hand Susan just let me know I'm happy to help. First step is having a webcam. Then you can go to google plus and sign in, if you have a google account, or create an account if you don't.
Hangout was fun as always :D I promise to not stuff my face with my dinner next time, lol! So great that we had 4 of us this time, hopefully more will join!

I'm all the way up in Cairns Queensland.
Hi everyone, I'm in Sydney. How many of you managed to hangout last week?
We had 4 at the last hangout, so we're doubling in numbers given the first had 2. :DMake sure you add me to your circle on google + if you want to join us ladies so I can invite you to the hangout on the night.
Great stuff! Interested to see what we'll be reading this August. Think it's Bonnie's month....
Hey I am Tansy - Melb based and just found this awesome book group.

Hey everyone, I'm Niaomi and I'm up in Brisbane. If we're ever having a real person meet up I'm more than happy to travel anywhere along the east coast. My G+ is https://plus.google.com/1151438098463... if anyone wants to had me. :D This group makes me excited.

Hey did you see that Felicia is coming to Brisbane in November for Supanova?http://www.supanova.com.au/guest/feli...
OMG do you think Felicia would do a VF meetup in Brisbane if we organized it? I'd fly to Brisbane for that!!
OMG, That would be AMAZING! Do you think she would? Because I'm sure there would be a few people in this group who would travel a little to get to meet up with Felicia and do a VF meetup.
Mel wrote: "OMG do you think Felicia would do a VF meetup in Brisbane if we organized it? I'd fly to Brisbane for that!!"That would be so awesome!!!
The big question is how do we ask? How do we get her attention?
Well we could either tweet at or post on a thread we know she follows... Or is there a way of private messaging her on Goodreads?edit- although if we have an idea of numbers before we approached her might make more of a difference?
Hi all, another Aussie, currently residing in Melbourne :)
def. up for an in person meet up, with or without Felicia!!! :)

I'd start a specific thread for a Supanova Meet-Up. The girls did a meet-up at Vidcon and Felicia's posted on the Dragon*Con thread. She (and other people who may be attending Supanova from outside Australia) might be more likely to notice it!
Also - if you all want to put any of your hangout events on the GR group calendar let me know!

Thanks for the advice Vicky, I will do that. I've also added a request to have our monthly hangout listed in the calendar.
Hey everyone, I'm from Melbourne. Only recently stumbled upon VF.
Hi Fiona and Jess, I hope you can join us for our Google Hangout this month.Actually we've got a few people in Melbourne now, maybe we should look at having a local hangout if the others are interested?
Jess wrote: "Hiya, I'm from Hobart :)":o! Another from Tassie..So rare! :) Me too.
Hello, I am from the other side of the country, in Perth. Found out about VF via Kushiel's Dart.
Hi Rhapsody, I hope you can join us on Wednesday night. :D
Hi Everyone, Just a reminder that our next hangout is August 22nd 8pm EST, that's this Wednesday!We've had a few people comment in here since the last one, so if you want to join us on Google Plus please add me to your circle: https://plus.google.com/1031582445336...
