XFire Sci-Fi Week

I don't really know anything about XFire, but they emailed me (and probably every other SF website in the universe) to say that they're having a Sci-Fi week, which is five days of Live Chats with a selection of authors, artists, and creators. I have no idea what a Live Chat is (their captilisation), I assume it's a text based browser thingy.

The guest list is: Charles Stross, Vernor Vinge, Peter Watts, Dan Abnett, Jim Butcher, Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, James Patrick Kelly, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, R. Stevens and Michael Whelan

Which is rather impressive.

Unfortunately you have to sign up for XFire to take part, so I won't be doing it, I'll wait for someone to scrape a transcript and blog it. The timings however quite sensible for us who live in The One Timezone To Rule Them All (GMT), starting at 9pm BST.
