Exciting News: I’m To Do An AMA On Reddit With Robin Hobb

You may recall a while back, when The Gathering of the Lost Blog Tour was in full swing, I hinted that there might be one more stop on the tour, but it was all very much in the process of evolving at that stage.
Well, now it has fully evolved and I can finally share the very exciting news that I am to appear on the Reddit social news website’s Reddit Fantasy page this week in an “Ask Me Anything” q&a hosted and facilitated by Fantasy author Robin Hobb — who has already talked about it on her own blog here.
In terms of what and where for those who are interested, the session will begin at 8 pm, this Wednesday 16, United States Central Time.
This means that I will be live Thursday 17 at:
2 am, UK time
3 am French time
11 am, Australian Eastern Standard Time
1 pm, NZ time
I also believe you may have to register to participate on Reddit, whether asking questions in the ‘live’ session or reading my replies to what others have asked at some later stage–but I am hoping that that I shall see at least some of you there, to ask me some questions and see what questions Robin has to put to me as well. on Reddit Fantasy, Wednesday 16 May at 8 pm, United States Central Time.
How cool! not sure if I am technolgically up to catching it but we will see. Good for you!

Thanks, Jacqui!
Damn, I will be working. I’ll check it out anyway.
Yes, please do! Am hoping to see some friends there if at all possible despite opposite time zones. 🙂
Will try to remember this just getting off work around 1 🙂
Thanks Jacqui!
congrats on this! How exciting…I think it is 9:00PM my time, I will try and pop in.
Thanks, Sharon–I would love to see you there! I *believe* it will be 9 pm if you’re on EST.:)
🙁 I couldn’t figure out how to work it. I saw two questions from Hobb but no answers…I have an account, but I never use Redit so I have no idea what to do there. Will you put a transcript of the questions on your blog?
Hi Sharon, I think Robin leapt in and started posting some of her questions for me early but they may have been taken down now? The reason for that is there won’t a specific ‘site’ for my AMA until tomorrow, a few hours before it begins. So if you go to Reddit Fantasy page closer to the start time, then you should see it. You will have to register/log in to participate, but I understand you can just read the transcripts without doing that. Sure hope it all works–fingers crossed!
Hey, all. I just thought I’d send a link for anyone having trouble:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/tpy9e/hello_im_fsf_novelist_helen_lowe_ama/
If you go here, you’ll find the AMA, and the questions. As of right now there are no answers, but if you come back later today there should be 😀
Have fun, everyone!
