It's that time again - time for me to tackle this month's round of fan questions and comments about The Vodka Press podcast and blog.
Q: You've referred to matt as Mr. Grimm a few times on twitter. PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT MARRIED!?! - Bill
A: No, I'm not married. I have no plans or desire to marry (anyone), have no fear.
Q: Zoe what's one of your favorite drinks? - Karen
A: I love Scotch, neat. (Is that you, super fan Karen?)
Q: When will you post pics of you guys? - Christina K.
A: We're working on it, hopefully soon!
Q: We need another geek episode! And Zoe can you cosplay for it and post a pic or something? :) - D.D.
A: Yes, we do. And I think posting pics would be fun. I was talking about this with Karly and Kit on Sunday, and we discussed the possibility of us all dressing up (in some fashion) then posting a pic or pics. Sound good?
Q: My favorite EP so far has been "It's my body..." I like that Zoe you brought up male objectification and double standards. - tim4play
A: Why thank you, tim4play. That's been my favorite episode of this season, too.
Q: Zoe will you be on my podcast? - anonymous
A: And what show would that be? If you want, shoot me an email and we can talk.
Q: Loved the men of TVP post, please have them do another - anonymous
A: I bet the guys will be happy to hear/read that. I think another TVP men post could be arranged.
Q: Zoe you said in a post that you're gonna do short stories. Will they be erotic or regular fiction? - Nikki
A: I've written 8 as of today, 4 of which are erotic. I have 2 stories out to my beta readers: the lovely, talented Kit and Karly. I shall pass along the others to the ladies, too - as soon as I'm done rewriting and torturing myself over them a bit more.
Q: TVP Power Hour needs to happen. - Chris C.
A: It shall, and soon(ish)! *SPOILER* We're thinking of doing one for EP#22. One thing we'd like to maybe try out is the TVP drinking game during that episode. So if anyone has thoughts on that, let us know.
Q: Will you do a real drinking episode this season? Where you're all drinking? - anonymous
A: See my answer to the previous question. (Yes.)
Q: Can you do a videocast sometime? Or a youtube show? I have this image of Zoe and Kit sitting across a table and doing shots and a battle of the minds. And in my mind you look like a sexy vampire Zoe and Kit looks like an 80s pop star. Totally off or on target? - Jenn
A: I talked about this with my cohorts/co-hosts, and we're all game to do a videocast sometime. Kit and I doing shots? Oh my, that could get interesting. In terms of how we look... I think all 3 of us are still fleshing out how our TVP alter egos "look." I will say Bangles lacks the big 80's hair, but she more than makes up for it with her ginormous bangle earrings. As for me, I am sexy but I don't know about the vampire bit. Maybe?
Q: Really liking the bonus content. Keep it coming! Great talk on reality TV for EP 16. And really cool interviews. - Adam Z.
A: Awesome, we're glad you like it. There is certainly more in store.
Q: I love the show but I feel like lately it's been girl centric. A gender neutral topic or hey even one for the guys would be cool - Connor
A: We want anyone, regardless of gender, to enjoy and be able to take away something from each episode. I do think a "men's" episode would be fun to do; I'll have to brainstorm some topics. If any of you have ideas for a men's EP, you can: comment below, tweet them to us @thevodkapress, or send them to us via the contact form on our site.
Q: Please do a tech epi - anonymous
A: We shall. *SPOILER* EP#21 will focus on tech-related topics.
Q: Why haven't you done an LGBT epi yet? And Zoe I'd love to hear your coming out story, when'd you first know you were bi??? - Katy M.
A: An LGBT episode is definitely in the TVP future. As for my coming out story, I've toyed with the idea of writing a post on it. Now that I know at least one person's interested, I think I will. (Guess what next Wednesday's post will be? *wink wink*)
Q: What's the next episode gonna be about? - Andrew
A: You'll have to tune into this week's teaser to find out.
Q: Are you looking for more writers? If so, how could someone go about pitching to you Zoe? - anonymous
A: Excellent question. I'm currently crafting an info page for folks interested in writing for and/or otherwise working with The Vodka Press; when that's available, I'll blast about it on twitter (from both my account @zoegrimmtvp and the TVP account @thevodkapress). Until then, if you want to write for TVP, you can email me a writing sample (a link if it's published online or as a .pdf) and a blurb about yourself, your writing experience, what you'd like to write about for TVP, etc.
