So, that IRC session I mentioned, for the Q&A? I'd like to schedule it for sometime tomorrow (July 11) evening :)
The IRC I've been frequenting apparently has a separate room for author chats, anyway, so that'll be good
irc.tgsa.net port 6667
and it's apparently the one that you get to through Storysite
Um... time and room is the only things not set -- and the room may be
Suggestions?

Room!
#tg_fiction_author_chat through an IRC client (mIRC, Trillian, etc)
or for the java chat users
http://www2.storysite.org/chatroom2.html -- for those who wish to navigate to it, you'd go to Storysite.org, click "Enter", then click "Chatrooms", then click Room 2
Now I just need to know what time would be good for people that wanna be there to interrogate... um, question me about Family Tragedies and Secrets

I say, use CDT
As we all know in our hearts, Central Daylight Time is the only real time this time of year.
Sometine after 7 PM makes sense for the US. That would be 8 for east coast and five for west coast, sorry Australia unless we push the start to 10PM CDT but then England gets screwed.

Time, TIme, Time
Okay, because it's daylight savings time, it's only GMT -5. British Summer Time is GMT +1, so that is a 6-hour difference.
Secondly, because it is a six hour difference, you ARE excluding our English sisters and brothers from this chat. it'll be 1:30 AM there!
I don't have a really excellent suggestion, only some feeble ones.
If you made it in the late morning, you could get most of our European friends on board, from work, where they always seem to log in to chat from, anyway. Several folks in the Eastern zone of the US have shown up on chat during lunch hour, so they might show up, too.
If you're writing off the UK and Europe (1:30 am and 2:30 am, respectively), you might as well move the time up to get the West Coast crowd at home after work, say 9 pm Central, 7 Pacific, 10 Eastern.
Anyway, have a good chat. I'm going out to dinner tonight in New York, so I won't be there, except in spirit.
Er... the English have Daylight Savings, too
Don't they? It's just offset from ours by a few weeks or something. But by this time, it's already set
