Filed under: Interview, Transcript by admin — Leave a comment
December 21, 2011
Note: I am editing this more than usual because a glitch in mid-chat caused the guest to not see our continual questions and so we have an extraordinary amount of chitchat about that and repeated questions which I really don’t want to force readers to sort through. No attempt to misrepresent. I want to make it easy to get to the meat of Tad’s wisdom.

sffwrtcht: Upcoming guests: 12/28 @jameslsutter 1/04 @jamietr 1/11 @crossedgenres 1/18 @ghostfinder 1/25 @johnfultz & 2/1 @saladinahmed #sffwrtcht (Thu Dec 22 01:55:29 +0000 2011)
tadwilliams: #sffwrtcht I’m here. I can’t speak for anyone else. Except for all the four-legged things under my feet. (Thu Dec 22 01:59:45 +0000 2011)
Catelli_NQU: RT @MrsTad: In 2 minutes… @tadwilliams @ #sffwrtcht – questions on anything & everything in our fantasy & science fiction world! (Thu Dec 22 01:59:56 +0000 2011)
BryanThomasS: @followthelede That’s the only series I don’t have of his so ask questions about it please. And don’t tell @tadwilliams #sffwrtcht (Thu Dec 22 02:00:23 +0000 2011)
kaolinfire: RT @BryanThomasS: Who wants to learn about epic fantasy from one of the best? @tadwilliams is hanging out with us tonight. #sffwrtcht #f … (Thu Dec 22 02:00:27 +0000 2011)
tadwilliams: Am I showing up in your stream, Bryan? #sffwrtcht (Thu Dec 22 02:00:42 +0000 2011)
BryanThomasS: @tadwilliams Welcome. Good to have you. Let me introduce for anyone who doesn’t know you. #sffwrtcht (Thu Dec 22 02:00:52 +0000 2011)
