I'm going to the Q&A, but I have no idea how it actually works?

Fatal error: Out of memory

I think we broke them.

Hopefully, only briefly.

Yeah, me too. We're about ten minutes into it now, and all I've gotten is a "500 Internal Server Error."

On the plus side, it's encouraging news for sales and reader interest.

"Oh, what would you like on your vegetarian pizza?"
"Dead pigs and cows" I said.
She glanced up at me and wrinkled her nose.
"They're vegetarians" I said defensively.

Wait! The http address has changed to a different one, saying "www.bittenbybooks.com/58887/author-jim-butcher-qa-and-free-book-giveaway-1115-8-11pm-cst-live-here" !!

Still only the "500 Internal Server Error" message, however. But we've at least been forwarded to a new error page! Yay!

If this was the first time they'd done this, I could understand it. But BBB hosted one of these for Jim Butcher a couple of years ago. They should've been prepared for the volume of traffic it was going to generate.

It hasn't gone live quite yet, I got through and got to the same page as you get if you went there early.

Nothing much, just the ones i could think of last minute

1.   In Turn Coat there was a pentangle marking on a tree on the way to Edinburgh, and in Changes Harry’s mother had marked a stone with a pentangle. Did she make both? Any significance?
 
2.   Is Ivy’s father going to be significant/pop up?
