Spent yesterday chatting on the Joyfully Reviewed loop with the Planet Manlove group of gay romance authors, and had a good time. Not least because... well, sometimes none of the readers will say anything at all at these chats. But sometimes they make your day with comments about the books. Like this one when I mentioned the planned next book in the Buildup series:

"Yeah! More distopian fun :> Your writing reminds of some of the
darker Miles Vorkosigan books by Bujold. Similar asserbic wit. :>"

And yes, comparisons to Big Name Authors are always going to give the warm fuzzies. But *that* comparison... oh yeah. I'll be grinning for a week over that one. :-)

It was fun! Trouble is it all happens so fast and I can never keep up!! It was SO great to see m/m get such a high profile on Joyfully Reviewed. It all helps to break down the prejudice.

Hey Jules! I'm one of those readers that tries to participate, but sometimes the discussion can be way out of my zone or the volume is just too much to keep up with. Yesterday's chat was definitely awesome and the volume crazy. I loved every moment and participated here and there.

I've noticed some groups have a large number of members, but it seems like it's always the same folks chatting.

I'll be grinning over the spelling of "acerbic," along with what I assume is an unintentional double entendre.
