The Uber Abode : Talk with the Authors

(Logging at 26-AUG-2000 19:53)

SX_MEAGHER> Luckily, no one hot works at my gym. g.
SX_MEAGHER> And no, I've not been approached by any publishers yet.
.Debra> wanna be?
AMBYRHAWKE> What do you think keeps me motivated on those days when you wanna stay in bed? -g-
SX_MEAGHER> Sure. Have you contacts?
.Debra> www....we'll mount a campaign!
SX_MEAGHER> Good one, Debra.
AMBYRHAWKE> How many books in the series do you have ideas worked out for?
.Debra> what's up for Jim and his tryst...this from ME
SX_MEAGHER> I have rough drafts for 8 books. And it's not even Christmas yet in Jamie and Ryanville -s-
SX_MEAGHER> What would ME like to know?
.Debra> if the tryst is ongoing?
AMBYRHAWKE> Oh boy...there goes another forest and ink cartridge! -g-
SX_MEAGHER> Tell ME that Jim has quite an appetite.
.Debra> raised eyebrows
.Debra> so he's a busy boy?
SX_MEAGHER> At times. He's also a workaholic, but I think he uses sex as a pressure release, as it were.
.Debra> when do we lose Cassie?
SX_MEAGHER> Lose in the permanent sense? s
.Debra> will you really kill her off if we ask nice?
MELFUNK> hello
SX_MEAGHER> Perhaps. I'll accept creative ideas for her demise.
.Debra> ME says poison
SX_MEAGHER> Hello Melfunk--is that your preferred name?
MELFUNK> just call me mel
SX_MEAGHER> Will do
MELFUNK> thanks
SX_MEAGHER> Ask ME if she wants Jamie to hold Cassie down and pour it down her thoat, or be more surreptitious?
STACEY26S> Hi all
SX_MEAGHER> Hi Stacey
.Debra> ME says the more hands on the better...drawn out and tortured works -g-
SX_MEAGHER> Maybe I'll have her be dragged along behind a cable car.
.Debra> or force her to watch "If these walls could talk II' Better than Chocolate etc
.Debra> LOL that works!
STACEY26S> Ways to do in Cassie ... hmmm
MELFUNK> i want to know when and if Ryan will tell Jamie about her dad?
MELFUNK> that was one weird scene
SX_MEAGHER> I don't think Ryan knows yet. She really doesn't want to be the one to harm Jamie's illusions about her dad, but she hates to lie to her. It's a quandry.
MELFUNK> hmmm
MELFUNK> i suppose
SX_MEAGHER> I think Ryan assumes that the truth will out.
SX_MEAGHER> Hello Murphy!
MURPHYCG88> Hey! I am here to support
SX_MEAGHER> And KLynch!
MELFUNK> hey murphy
MURPHYCG88> Hi
SX_MEAGHER> Glad to have you all.
AMBYRHAWKE> That's got to be about as bad an image (Jim doing it) to have in your head
.Emma> You made it!
MELFUNK> sx, what do you want to be called?

SOBBIE> SX prefers to be called Susan
AMBYRHAWKE> as what the people on Survivor have of Richard
SX_MEAGHER> Hey Sobbie!
MURPHYCG88> Hello all
SX_MEAGHER> Yeah, it's a burden for Ryan to bear in more ways than one -s-
STACEY26S> Hiya Murphy
SOBBIE> Hi sorry I'm late
MELFUNK> it's okay
SX_MEAGHER> No problem. We're just chatting away
KOULAA> Hi!How far in time do you plan taking your heroes ?
MURPHYCG88> Hi Stacey
SX_MEAGHER> Time wise---that's hard to say. I thought I'd be much farther along in their lives by now. I wanted the story to be close to real time--but I'm over a year behind already.
SX_MEAGHER> Is that Ali H?
MELFUNK> I'm kind of worried about the last story. The girls erased the tapes, but then they had this major kissing thing going on in the front yard. Will the parents see that tape?
STACEY26S> Ah, the spoilers begin. :)
MELFUNK> = )
AHEARNE> Um...I'm Alli H, but I think you may be thinking about someone else.
SX_MEAGHER> I think they did a pretty good job of getting the tapes erased. I wouldn't worry about that.
.Debra> when do think "D" will be out?
SX_MEAGHER> Nonetheless, welcome!
AHEARNE> Thanks!
STACEY26S> Sadly I haven't found time in the last week to read Book III - what a monster!
MELFUNK> hello amy
.Amy> hello melfunk
SX_MEAGHER> If I keep writing as quickly as I did this week it will be soon! I wrote over 100 pages!
SOBBIE> yeah but its a great monster
MELFUNK> :)
STACEY26S> Of that, I have no doubt, Sobbie. :)
SX_MEAGHER> It will still be waiting for you when you have time Stacey.
CENEDRAH> Hi Aquila!
SX_MEAGHER> Hi Aquila!
MURPHYCG88> You are bringing them in SX
SX_MEAGHER> I hope so!
.Debra> #1 with a bullet to our way of thinking
MELFUNK> hey sx, do you live in the Bay area? I love how you write in such detail, so I was just wondering that.
STACEY26S> Yeah, I might just tackle it now that the chores are done for the weekend. :^)
SX_MEAGHER> I live in L.A., actually. But I visit the Bay area a lot.
MURPHYCG88> My AOL is sucky, I hope I can hold on
MELFUNK> cool
AMBYRHAWKE> We know some of the classes that Jamie and Ryan have taken, but will we ever find out what they hope to do with their degrees?
SX_MEAGHER> Oh sure! They're going to grad school for sure!
ARABIAN66> HI
SX_MEAGHER> Hi Arabian.
STACEY26S> Hiya Arab
ARABIAN66> HI SX
AMBYRHAWKE> Persuing what careers?
ARABIAN66> HI STACEY
SX_MEAGHER> Not sure yet. Like many people hanging out in grad school they're checking out the options -s-
.Debra> are you planning to attend the Pasadena con and have a 'meet & greet'?

SX_MEAGHER> I remember and I read it and liked it--I think I wrote to you as a matter of fact, Jaden
STACEY26S> Congrats!
JADEN_R> thanks..i was very excited.
JADEN_R> yes, sue you did. very kind of you!
SX_MEAGHER> I wouldn't go that far Arab, but I appreciate the thought.
.Debra> a character I have enjoyed, although she has not been around alot, is Aunt Maeve
JADEN_R> mia is cool, especially with her recent "revelations"....
JADEN_R> lol
SX_MEAGHER> Yeah--what do you guys think of Mia? Is she gay?
AMBYRHAWKE> Does Jamie happen to look kinda like Fionnuala? I remember everyine being surprised that she looks just like Caitlin...
STACEY26S> Well, I'm off to do some reading. Can you guess the story? ;) Thanks for the chat, Sue! Looking forward to Book 4.
STACEY26S> Bye!
SX_MEAGHER> Bye Stacey--enjoy!
AMBYRHAWKE> Bye Stacy
JADEN_R> no, cos i want her to hook up with Ryan's bro!
ARABIAN66> bye
STACEY26S> Oh, I will - no doubt!
SX_MEAGHER> Ahhh, that makes sense Jaden.
.Debra> ME says, yep, Mia's gay
SX_MEAGHER> Hey, Murph's back!
JADEN_R> murph!!!!
MURPHYCG88> Damn AOL
AMBYRHAWKE> I think Mia just like sex that feels good and isn't really concerned what the gender of her partner is
EEN327> I would say Mia is just open to what ever she is in the mood for
SX_MEAGHER> I think Mia defininely thinks sex feels good -g-!
MURPHYCG88> Jaden!!!!
JADEN_R> hey kid!!
AMBYRHAWKE> well maybe not always...she *did* understand why Jamie wasn't very impressed with it.
MURPHYCG88> Hi!
DAYDREAMER30> hello everyone
ARABIAN66> hi
JADEN_R> hey day
AMBYRHAWKE> Hello Dreamer
MURPHYCG88> Hello
.Debra> hi
SX_MEAGHER> That's true Hawke. She thought it made sense that Jamie would have trouble getting used to sex with a guy that wasn't very experienced
SX_MEAGHER> Hi Dreamer
AMBYRHAWKE> Hey Sue...what's with Jamie and Caitlin looking so much alike
DAYDREAMER30> hi sx
SOBBIE> she didnt have too much touble with ryan though
SX_MEAGHER> I think it's just happenstance, Hawke.
JADEN_R> i thought it was pretty funny when jamie assumed there was only so much 2 women could do to one another...
.Debra> naw...I think nothing is happenstance with you Sue
SX_MEAGHER> No, Sobbie, Jamie seemed to warm up to the experience quickly!
MURPHYCG88> I want to know when part 4 is coming out
AMBYRHAWKE> ah. Hmmm...if she *does* use Connor as a donor, I hope her genes are even stronger than his...
SX_MEAGHER> Geez Murphy! Book 3 has been out a week!
JADEN_R> straight to the point murph..good girl!
MURPHYCG88> Pout! Ok
SOBBIE> I'm with murphy i'm ready for 4 too
AMBYRHAWKE> It would be cute to see a little carbon copy of each of them running around
MURPHYCG88> i can hope
SX_MEAGHER> Yeah, Jaden, Jamie is pretty naive. She's a quick learner though.
MURPHYCG88> Watch as SX avoids this
CBUTTLER> yeah, no pressure--but when will 4 be out?
MURPHYCG88> so when does part four come out?
JADEN_R> yes, she sure was!!
ARABIAN66> lol
SX_MEAGHER> I think 4 will come out much faster than 3. Now that I know how to write a sex scene--it's coming a lot faster!
SOBBIE> lol
MURPHYCG88> cool
JADEN_R> i bet it is
CBUTTLER> cool!
MURPHYCG88> I like a good thud
.Debra> pun? intended?
SOBBIE> whats coming?
AMBYRHAWKE> pun intended, Sue?
SX_MEAGHER> Usually -g-
.Debra> Book ?
.Debra> Four ?
SX_MEAGHER> I'm going to post a single chapter on my e-groups list on Sept. 1
JADEN_R> what about cassie? can jamie please beat her up?!!!
.Debra> can we opt to subscribe to only the finished/full version?
JADEN_R> horray!
SX_MEAGHER> As a benefit for joining another e-group -s- I'll post something every month
SOBBIE> oh boy watch your numbers go up on egroups
SX_MEAGHER> Jaden, Debra wants Cassie to be poisened and drug behind a cable car. Being beat up is too mild.
MURPHYCG88> another list??
AMBYRHAWKE> there goes a new entry at the top of my "to do" list...join the egroup
SOBBIE> ahh the cas drag
CBUTTLER> ha!
ARABIAN66> i like to read it when it is finished cause it realy kills me when they stop in a cruicial momment
JADEN_R> whoa!!
ARABIAN66> my spelling is realy bad
SX_MEAGHER> SX_MeagherUpdates@egroups.com
JADEN_R> lol
AMBYRHAWKE> Having to go to work at a crucial moment is hard too!
SX_MEAGHER> I'll only post stand-alone chapters--no cliffhangers!
ARABIAN66> thats good
SOBBIE> ah first the cas drag then the cliff drop
EEN327> How about a shove off the bridge?
SX_MEAGHER> Hey, that's a good idea, Sobbie. SHe could take her to land's end and drop her off!
SX_MEAGHER> Cassie weighs too much for Jamie to hoist her over the barrier on the Golden Gate.
SOBBIE> i think she should do a king kong and carry cassie to the top of the bridge then toss her
JADEN_R> will the girls be going to ireland, sue?
SX_MEAGHER> That would be dramatic!
JADEN_R> ryan can toss her
MURPHYCG88> lol
SX_MEAGHER> The girls will certainly go to Ireland, Jaden.
JADEN_R> excellent
SOBBIE> 2nd honeymoon?
SX_MEAGHER> A woman named O'Flaherty just wrote to me from Dublin. Maybe she can give me details.
SX_MEAGHER> I think they need to go back to the Pelican Inn for a little honeymoon, don't you?
JADEN_R> yes, they definitely didn't get use of the bed!!!
SX_MEAGHER> No kidding--Ryan was hoping though!
EEN327> HA!
AMBYRHAWKE> just what I was thinking Jaden
JADEN_R> high five ambyr!
AMBYRHAWKE> great minds think alike
JADEN_R> : )
ARABIAN66> great minds need an updates to there story
ARABIAN66> i meant the speep of the beat of my heart
ARABIAN66> speed
SX_MEAGHER> I love Speed. It's soooo well written.
AMBYRHAWKE> Jaden...that sounded like toe tapping to me...what do you think?
ARABIAN66> yes very good story
JADEN_R> i would have to agree...-G-
ARABIAN66> one of my favorate
SX_MEAGHER> I'm not reading any more until it's finished though. I hate to wait for updates.
.Debra> point taken?
JADEN_R> hmmm
ARABIAN66> they say it is a very long story
ARABIAN66> it might not finish soon
SX_MEAGHER> I can wait. I've got plenty to keep me busy -g-
AMBYRHAWKE> In the mean time, y'all can look at the little thing I'll be sending out this week. I finally finished edits this week.
SX_MEAGHER> Cool. Posted where?
SOBBIE> nah Susan you can't have anything planned for your free time
JADEN_R> yay!
AMBYRHAWKE> I'm gonna send it to MaryD's and ForevaXena's first
AMBYRHAWKE> Theose are the easiest web addys for me to remember! -g-

SX_MEAGHER> Swollen Bud was for Book 1. That was in April
SX_MEAGHER> I look forward to reading it Hawke.
AMBYRHAWKE> Congrats on both of those honors!

JADEN_R> count me in!!!!
SX_MEAGHER> Sure! EEN
AMBYRHAWKE> I hand-bound some copies of "Frozen Heart" for friends using pre-1600 a.d. techniques. It really made the whole process come alive for me of how books have been made in the past.
JADEN_R> will you be autographing 8x10's sue?
SX_MEAGHER> Wow Hawke!
SX_MEAGHER> 8x10's of me? I can't imagine who would want one, besides Carrie, that is!
AMBYRHAWKE> Yeah, it was maybe 58 pages hand sewn.
JADEN_R> all of your adoring fans do!!! myself included!!!!

SX_MEAGHER> Never apologize for getting a joke in, Sobbie
JADEN_R> that would be nice ambyr
SX_MEAGHER> I can't imagine how big a 459 pages sewn book would be!
AMBYRHAWKE> Ok y'all, call McWhorters and tell them to order some more green cardstock!
AMBYRHAWKE> Prolly as big as a ream of paper.
SX_MEAGHER> Most likely!
JADEN_R> like some sort of uber bible sue!
AMBYRHAWKE> the punching 5 holes her page one page at a time would be the worst
SX_MEAGHER> Indeed!
.Debra> plant/donate a tree for each binder
SOBBIE> nah just come cut em down from my yard Debra
AMBYRHAWKE> Ummm yeah...Medieval binding techniques but without the real tools...I'm insane

SX_MEAGHER> Unfamiliar
SX_MEAGHER> Book 7 Sobbie? Helllpppp!
SOBBIE> *S*
AMBYRHAWKE> Hey Sobbie, is it just me, or have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of really good stories coming out in a wave, and them a wave of nothing to read?
ARABIAN66> LIKE NOW
SOBBIE> yeah i noticed
SOBBIE> seems like summer blues hit
ARABIAN66> the ubdates are realy slow
SX_MEAGHER> That's a problem, because I get backlogged and then forget about the ones I wanted to read. I need a better system.
SOBBIE> yeah it has been a whole week since Susan gave us anything
ARABIAN66> i love night and day did any one here read it
AMBYRHAWKE> LOL oh that's bad!
SX_MEAGHER> I'm tryping as fast as I can!
AMBYRHAWKE> Yeah Arabian...I'm still reading that one
SX_MEAGHER> Who wrote Night and Day?
AMBYRHAWKE> the las bit was posted a weekend or two ago
AMBYRHAWKE> Junebug
ARABIAN66> yes
ARABIAN66> it is realy good
SOBBIE> yeah I've been reading it and it's really good
SX_MEAGHER> Ahh...I've heard good things about Junebug--but I've read none yet.
AMBYRHAWKE> I loved Llachlan's Silent LegacyO
SOBBIE> she writes epics longer than yours Susan
SX_MEAGHER> I heard good things about Lynne Norris too. You all familiar?
ARABIAN66> read it when it is finished cause i realy want to kill junbug for the slow updates lol
SX_MEAGHER> Will do!
AMBYRHAWKE> Not sure if they're longer...she just posts in pieces
EEN327> Lynne's stuff is great too!
SX_MEAGHER> That's on my list to read.
SOBBIE> I have read most of Lynnes stuff its good too
SX_MEAGHER> I think Llachlan has a book coming out on RAp does she not?
AMBYRHAWKE> Yeah, but you know...I'd rather them post slower than not edit their stuff because they are trying to keep up with demand.
AMBYRHAWKE> Hmmm...I'm not sure
SX_MEAGHER> Yeah--lots of blatant typos bug me.
SOBBIE> true i have quit reading some things because i couldnt figure out the words from non editing
AMBYRHAWKE> I saw a lot more editing problems showing up in Missy's books when she started updating every day or even every week
SX_MEAGHER> I have too. She has a pretty full plate, I guess.
EEN327> Do you guys buy many of the published books on-line?
AMBYRHAWKE> And I'm a former English major, so I could see more than many people
SX_MEAGHER> I buy the ones I have not read on-line.
AMBYRHAWKE> I haven't bought any yet, but I probably will buy some that I really liked as a support for the authors
ARABIAN66> read mercey for daved lindsy i think all of you will like it
AMBYRHAWKE> Soooo....Sue...let me know when you get published!!!
SOBBIE> Kirsten asks who does your editing..do you have a team of editors?
SX_MEAGHER> I'm puzzled by people who refuse to work with at least a proof-reader.
ARABIAN66> iam not sure about the spelling tho
SX_MEAGHER> I have lots of editors -s-
SX_MEAGHER> I have someone who graduated from Cal to make sure I get those details right.
SX_MEAGHER> I have someone who lives in S.F. to make sure that's all accurate.
SX_MEAGHER> I have two proo-readers and an editor.
SX_MEAGHER> I need 'em all, too.!
SOBBIE> does carrie help with the editing?
KLYNCH6910> who helps you with your irish slang?
AMBYRHAWKE> I have my best friend read my stuff, and I also put the stories down for at least a week to read through 5-6 times
SX_MEAGHER> Not much. We decided early on that it was not a good idea for her to be critical. She says "good, honey>" and that's about that!
SOBBIE> yeah having someone close can be difficult
SX_MEAGHER> I know a number of Irish people, and I have Irish roots, so I know some. I alsohave a couple of books of slang.
AMBYRHAWKE> Where did you find the name Gobhnui?
SX_MEAGHER> It's on Fiona Hyland's Irish page.
SX_MEAGHER> I've put a list of Irish names and their pronunciations on my new web-page. Stay tuned.
AMBYRHAWKE> The scary thing is I sorta know how to pronounce that!
SX_MEAGHER> That is scary!
ARABIAN66> are you going to put your picture there sx?
SX_MEAGHER> Nope. I don't want to frighten the children -g-.
AMBYRHAWKE> I see enough Enya lyrics while I'm singing to know the basics of pronunciation
SX_MEAGHER> I might put a picture of my dog, though. She's a beauty.
ARABIAN66> iam not a child put at least 1
SX_MEAGHER> I love Enya. Mary Black is my favorite Irish singer though.
ARABIAN66> carrie's 2
SX_MEAGHER> Carrie is by far the better looking part of this pair. That's a good idea, Arabian.
AMBYRHAWKE> I still haven't heard Mary Black
SOBBIE> what kind of dog do you have?
SX_MEAGHER> Oooh, she's fabulous!
AMBYRHAWKE> I wish Clannad would write out their lyrics though
SX_MEAGHER> I have a Portuguese Water Dog. She's 4 years old and her name is Maite(that's gaelic of course, and pronounced Mattie)
AMBYRHAWKE> Well, then I think I'll have to check her out.
SX_MEAGHER> I have all of Clannad's stuff.
SX_MEAGHER> Enya's sister is the lead singer, no?
AMBYRHAWKE> I wind up singing along with it at the gym while the aerobics class is coolong down. -g-
AMBYRHAWKE> Yup Maire
SX_MEAGHER> I have Maire solo album also. It's good.
AMBYRHAWKE> Actually two of the guys her her brothers and the Noel and Pol her her uncles
AMBYRHAWKE> Which one...she's got 2 or 3
SX_MEAGHER> Yeah, I thought that was so.
SX_MEAGHER> The eponymously named one.
AMBYRHAWKE> yeah I like that one. She's got aninstrumental one and I think one other with lyrics
SX_MEAGHER> Ahh, I'll have to catch up. I listen to Mary Black so much I lose track of new releases.
SX_MEAGHER> Mary's brother Frank is up in S.F. He plays regularly at a club there.
AMBYRHAWKE> which one would you suggest i start with?
SX_MEAGHER> No Frontiers is one of my faves. By the time it gets dark is another great one.
SX_MEAGHER> They're pretty mellow-a bit traditional also.
AMBYRHAWKE> I like traditional best
SX_MEAGHER> Carrie's ready to head home and get some dinner, everyone, so I must be going.
SX_MEAGHER> It's been swell, indeed.
ARABIAN66> it was realy nice meeting you
SX_MEAGHER> The same here.
AMBYRHAWKE> It was great talking with other authors for the first time!
SOBBIE> Thank you so much for joining us Susan
SX_MEAGHER> It is fun, isn't it.
AMBYRHAWKE> Nice meeting you...hope to see ya in Pasadena
ARABIAN66> you going to do this again?
AMBYRHAWKE> Loads of fun! -g-
SX_MEAGHER> Sobbie is responsible if I spend all of my time in chat rooms now, though.
SOBBIE> Kirsten (Redback) says night and thanks too
SOBBIE> lol
SX_MEAGHER> Thanks Kirsten--
SOBBIE> dont sick carrie on me please
SX_MEAGHER> I shan't. She's a little bulldog--just like Jamie!
SOBBIE> thanks
AMBYRHAWKE> we'll just get on you when she's in chat and not writing! -g-
