| 1:40 am | tiffanyaneal: | @ChrisRivan I bet you’ve been on Twitter longer than me… just sayin #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | ChrisRivan: | @susanjsteward #kidlitchat I actually just moved here. Teaching job. Came from Washington State. |
| 1:40 am | SarahDarerLitt: | @LaurelSnyder I think I’m doing the Jewish Book Council thing too. Waiting for confirmation. #kidlitchat |

| 1:40 am | timkeetonwriter: | ‘nite all. #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | LaurelSnyder: | I’ll also (I think) be at NCTE in the fall. Will YOU? I’m always up for a tweetup. #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | AuthoressAnon: | @elanaroth I started my dystopian before it was “hot” to write them, and finished it right when it started to explode. #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | caitstuff: | @sandyalonzo Agreed. How I Live Now is fabulous, and totally quoted Meg Rosoff for my critical paper for my MFA. #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | EKokie: | @kellymcclymer I also love to read dystopics, but I tend to write realistic contemporary. #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | Donna_Earnhardt: | I could pretend to know what dystopia is…instead, I shall google. Nothing like a little confession to clear the mind #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | lisabrowndraws: | @LaurelSnyder Think I’m signing somewheres. It’s feeling REAL. #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | ChrisRivan: | @chantalkirkland #kidlitchat I have many talents, my dear. |
| 1:40 am | YALitReview: | #kidlitchat ive tried to write dystopian, but i end up with fantasy instead. i think its hard to do it right |
| 1:40 am | ChristaCarol: | well, enjoyed all the great news in here tonight! Algebra homework and the new WIP is calling to me. Good night all! #kidlitchat |
| 1:40 am | LaurelSnyder: | @SarahDarerLitt Oh, cool! We should coordinate. I think the kidlit stuff is all the same day. What’s the book? #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | LiaKeyes: | @patricemichelle Incarceration? Or Incarceron? by Catherine Fisher? #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | ChrisRivan: | @tiffanyaneal #kidlitchat I think I joined last Tuesday. |
| 1:41 am | chersti: | @LiaKeyes @elanaroth good point! I started this book before the dystopia kick, so I’m worried it’s fading now that I’m done. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | SheviStories: | Maybe when I’ve had my fill of funny I’ll move back to more serious fare, but I don’t know. I live for the laughs. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | tinahoggatt: | @YALitReview Incarceron is not perfect – she kind of scuttles the ending – but I thought it was very engaging. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | KateMessner: | @LaurelSnyder Yes!! I’ll be at NCTE/ALAN – I will finally get to meet Laurel! #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | Donna_Earnhardt: | well, that didn’t take long. got it. kind of what I thought, but had to make sure. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | lisabrowndraws: | WIP is a graphic novel. Not sure if it’s adult or YA. Tho lines are blurry. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | LaurelSnyder: | @tristanbancks As I recall it was pretty freaky. There were test tubes, I think, and ONE LONE MAN. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | chantalkirkland: | I don’t want to go yet! I just got to the pants-less part of the day! #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | SarahDarerLitt: | @KateMessner WANT TO GO PRIVATE? was hardest book I’ve written. I was having problems sleeping getting nightmares at one point. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | write_brained: | just listening in between LOST commercials. i like all the good news! #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | ChrisRivan: | @KarenCollum #kidlitchat Oh. Neat. My political junkies are gonna be pissed. |
| 1:41 am | LaurelSnyder: | @KateMessner YAY! Oh, that’ll be so fun. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | TheAsianAngel: | Sadly, I don’t think my market has a kilt aisle. Maybe I could fashion one from papertowels? RT @ChrisRivan: #kidlitchat Wear a kilt! |
| 1:41 am | KarlaKT: | @LaurelSnyder Where is the NCTE this fall? #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | adamselzer: | You see kids, TNT was a channel. As I recall, all they played was post-apoc. movies, bugs bunny, and atl braves baseball. #kidlitchat |
| 1:41 am | tiffanyaneal: | @ChrisRivan Beat ya…first time joining in conversation! #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | stephanieruble: | Time to get back to work on my non-dystopian, but hopefully funny zombie YA. Goodnight all! #kidlitchat |

| 1:42 am | ImSarahEnni: | @ChrisRivan where in Washington? #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | LiaKeyes: | @chersti No, dystopian is still white-hot. You’re fine if you’re subbing now. #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | ChrisRivan: | @chantalkirkland #kidlitchat Every day should have some naked time built into it. As a society we wear far too many clothes. |
| 1:42 am | lisagailgreen: | @SheviStories I’m definitely intrigued. I’ll have to put it on my list #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | jamesburksart: | I wish my b&n would stock more new releases. They have 1000 copies of Alice in Wonderland but not the new Oliver Jeffers #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | KarenCollum: | @ChrisRivan I think there is a way to go on ‘silent’…but I’m not clever enough to know how!! #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | ChrisRivan: | @ImSarahEnni #kidlitchat Sumner, near Puyallup. |
| 1:42 am | LaurelSnyder: | @lisabrowndraws Only as real as you want it to be. Heh. #kidlitchat |

| 1:42 am | chantalkirkland: | @adamselzer Sounds awesome! But, it’s gone? #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | KateMessner: | @SarahDarerLitt I can imagine – I can’t wait to read it! #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | TheAsianAngel: | That should be our motto. RT @karianneholt: In Austin, you can always take off your pants! #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | nkrell: | I have to go. Night all. #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | chantalkirkland: | @ChrisRivan Tell me how you really feel. #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | karianneholt: | Gotta run. Fun topic tonight! Have sudden inspiration to write a pantsless dystopian novel based in Austin. #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | caitstuff: | @ChrisRivan Yes. it’s best to warn people that they may want to TwitterSnooze you for an hour or so. #kidlitchat |
| 1:42 am | ChrisRivan: | @tiffanyaneal #kidlitchat My first time, too. But I’ve been on twitter for a week. |
| 1:42 am | LaurelSnyder: | @KarlaKT Orlando. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | elanaroth: | @jamesburksart Isn’t that awful? They skipped out on Doug-Dennis a lot too. Stupid chains and their shelving issues. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | tinahoggatt: | Peeps-in my job with Public Art 4culture I’m scoping a cartooning/graphicnovel initiative starting with Equity & Social Justice. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | lisagailgreen: | @stephanieruble can’t wait to read it! Goodnight #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | chersti: | @jamesburksart Have to agree –> lots of stores ran out of CONSPIRACY OF KINGS & it was just released today! #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | ChrisRivan: | @TheAsianAngel #kidlitchat Innovation… I like that in a girl! |
| 1:43 am | ktubb: | @adamselzer And WGN – the Cubs, Gilligan’s Island, and Empire Carpet Commercials. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | ImSarahEnni: | @ChrisRivan Awesome! University of Washington grad here, moved to east coast in ’08 #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | RebeccAgent: | @jamesburksart love all Oliver Jeffers inc. the new one #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | tinahoggatt: | RT @karianneholt: Gotta run. Fun topic tonight! Have sudden inspiration to write a pantsless dystopian novel based in Austin. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | KarenCollum: | RT @ChrisRivan @chantalkirkland #kidlitchat Every day should have some naked time built into it <<Yep. It’s called a shower. LOL #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | margogremmler: | @adamselzer Oh, TNT is still around. It’s humble beginnings aren’t too long ago, though, mi amigo. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | SheviStories: | @jamieharrington Right? I mean, if you’re good at being funny… We might as well work to our strengths. #kidlitchat |
| 1:43 am | juliadevillers: | The cover is so pretty! RT @SarahDarerLitt @LaurelSnyder That would be fun! The book is LIFE, AFTER, comes out July. #kidlitchat #kidlitchat |

| 1:43 am | 2KoP: | #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | ChrisRivan: | @caitstuff #kidlitchat Nah… they either love me or they love me. |
| 1:44 am | jamieharrington: | @SheviStories that’s what I’m saying! #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | adamselzer: | @chantalkirkland I didn’t THINK it was. I think they mostly show Friends now. But I might be confusing it with TBS . #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | KarlaKT: | @LaurelSnyder Awesome…but I don’t think school will pay for that one! #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | dlschubert: | Best tweet of night: RT @ChrisRivan Every day shld have some naked time built into it. As a society we wear far too many clothes.#kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | paulgreci: | signing out for a while. Great to hear all the good news. #kidlitchat |

| 1:44 am | lisabrowndraws: | @jamesburksart LOVE oliver jeffers #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | KarenCollum: | Question – anyone know of any good forums for Christian #kidlit authors? Some market-specific issues would be good to discuss #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | 2KoP: | Late to the party. What’s the topic? #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | elanaroth: | @RebeccAgent I do too. He’s a personal favorite of mine. #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | LaurelSnyder: | @lisabrowndraws Snort. #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | ChrisRivan: | @ImSarahEnni #kidlitchat I always wanted to go to UW. Ended up at American Military University instead. |

| 1:44 am | ChristaCarol: | @tiffanyaneal Just saw your question, were you asking about which WIP I decided to work on? #kidlitchat (and yes, I’m supposed to be gone) |
| 1:44 am | adamselzer: | @ktubb WGN – you forgot The Bozo Show! #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | dlschubert: | Absolutely! RT @SheviStories We might as well work to our strengths. #kidlitchat |
| 1:44 am | chersti: | So are we going to see more multi-cultural books??? That is an exciting area I am waiting to see really open up! #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | elanaroth: | I bought a copy of Oliver Jeffers’ LOST AND FOUND in Hebrew last year, and use it to teach my students. #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | Donna_Earnhardt: | soo… what is the TOPIC tonight? dystopia? if so, I have nothing to contribute. I’ll just sit back and soak it all up!  #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | jamieharrington: | @dlschubert I’m scared I started the nakedness tonight in the chat, because I suggested pantsless skype chatting #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | KarenCollum: | Also, any place/chats for PB authors? We don’t use as many words as the rest of you #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | ChrisRivan: | @dlschubert #kidlitchat I’m honored. |

| 1:45 am | caitstuff: | @ChrisRivan That works too! I think all my followers know I do the chats, plus I’ve spent the past week bombing them with #sxsw! #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | zoe_walton: | @KarenCollum I think that #yalitchat tomorrow is on this topic? #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | LaurelSnyder: | I love Jeffers. I love the moment the boy finds the airplane, and is like, “An airplane! What’s up, airplane?” #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | TheAsianAngel: | @gregpincus Oooh, and Fahrenheit 451! Not truly dystopian but might as well be! #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | tinahoggatt: | @chersti from your mouth to God’s ears #kidlitchat |
| 1:45 am | tristanbancks: | @LaurelSnyder ONE LONE MAN? Frightening stuff. Or Utopian. It could go either way, but it sounds like it could get ugly. #kidlitchat |
