It’s true and now confirmed!

Jim Butcher, author of The Dresden Files books and Codex Alera books, is coming to imaginechat.com on Thursday, October 27th at 8pm CST in our (to be made) guest room!

A few weeks ago, the typist of Zeno Giovanni, passed me an article about Jim Butcher and how he used to be involved with a mush- a role play chat like ours! In fact, in the article he credits a lot of his writing skill to time spent in that MUSH. I posted the article to our moderator board and said how I’d LOVE for him to come visit with us for our anniversary. Well, our lovely t-bird took the initiative and made FIRST CONTACT with his publisher and well- here we are!

Now, any of you that have read the intro to imaginechat.com knows that my goal for imaginechat has been to encourage writers – this is why we offer blogs and why I had the DWBN Original Fiction section on my original site, Dark World by Night. Jim Butcher is the ultimate role play chat success story and what a better way to kick off NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) than by a pep talk/chat with someone who parlayed his role playing skills into a career.

This is our first “Guest Speaker” event and I really want it to go smoothly! Not just for us, but for the guest as well!

With that in mind, I would like to collect everyone’s questions here and pare them down to 20 (max) to be asked the night of his visit and hopefully have a “free for all” session the last 15-20 minutes of his time. This is to ensure that we get a broad range of questions and don’t overwhelm the poor man!

So please, leave your questions (and suggestions for making things go smoothly!) here!
