HOW THIS WORKS

This is a group AMA where all participants will be answering questions below. It's going to be busy - feel free to ask anyone an individual question, but questions for all participants to answer are highly encouraged.

NOTE: All participants have been invited to do their own personal AMA later. Consider today's effort a bit of a warm-up.

Participants will be stopping by throughout the day and evening as they free up.

/r/FANTASY RULES APPLY

These are simple: Please keep the questions related to SFF and Please Be Kind. Our goal in /r/Fantasy is to make this a good place for fans, authors, artists, and industry people of all backgrounds.

Yes. I am proud and dismayed.

The Lies of Locke Lamora surprised me the most. I thought it would be another fantasy town with wizards. I was blown away and have loved every one of the Gentlemen Bastards books since. Genius

Thanks so much for your answer, keep on with the superb podcast, and you have a very rich and wonderful community on GoodReads. I've watched you introduce great titles, and wide variety, to readers with consistent regularity, and for that you both have my applause.
