I'm probably not qualified to have an opinion on closetted/un-closettedness as, being a gainer, I've not "come out of the fridge" as the expression goes. Being in the FA-closet, or fridge, shouldn't mean that the person is a jerk. I'm not a jerk...at least I hope not hehe.
To some extent it's ok to be worried about what the people who are close to you will think.

that's cool omigumo
however it sounds like what's been proposed is now (are now?) two different session themes...your public q&a, sort of a virtual book signing/ego inflation...and the one edit first described (and what i have been referring to), that of a fa fetish writer workshop where ideas and technique would be tossed around.
of the two i'm inclined toward the latter.
i suggest a poll of some of the other story contributers...see what they would prefer.
Excuse me, but how is a Q&A session an ego-inflation session? It's for people to ask questions to the author. The chat event is still exactly the same as it was suggested to be. It's for the writers to come together discuss their work with their peers AND their readers.
Just because I'm not going to close the event to the site at large doesn't make it into what you seem to think it does.

I didn't misunderstand. If someone comes in and starts throwing their two cents around the place they'll be; firstly, asked to leave and second, if they don't respond to the request they'll be given a temporary chat-ban.
But there's no reason to exclude our readers from this discussion. It if for that reason that I've included Q&A. If a fan of a certain story comes in, for instance, and wants to ask a few questions to the author or perhaps offer an opinion on the story that's just fine. In fact I was even thinking of going so far as to use this as an opportunity to ask the readers what they might like to see from the hero *or heroine* next.
And my mentioning that descriptions of sexual encounters should be kept classy was meant to indicate that we should stay away from exactly what you just mentioned, crude slang and other inappropriate language.
Also, I figured you might be kidding about the big bucks thing...but felt a need to point out that I am in fact broke lol.

If I let my beard grow out for like 8 years I could definitely pull off Hagrid from Harry Potter....though I don't know where I'd find a moleskin coat big enough for me.

1. fine
2. fine
3. why pg? the story section is not. for crikes sake we just had our first necrophilia story. this is an adult group and, from the relative rankings evident, the more "adult" the story is the more readership it has. it should be no holds barred, anything goes.
4. fine
times are fine, but make it a monthly event. even with 4 opportunities people are going to miss it as life often interferes.
also promote it to the correct audience...you're going to have a more productive session and be better able to control each discussion if you limit attendance to those people who are most interested in the subject. i.e. the writers actually exploring the fetish.
the moderator(s) of this forum and/or whoever is behind the curtain in the story section should have easy access to all the writers that have submitted stories here good or bad. i would suggest privately pming those people only and informing them of the sessions. do NOT promote it in open forum.
it's going to be a little work but that's why you get paid the big bucks, right?
also, should you want to further increase the quality of participation of the sessions, invite those who have submitted more than one or two stories (or three or whatever).
as the sessions grow larger (no pun intended) you could eventually have one for each genre...fantasy (magic/scifi), bbw, bhm, immobile, homosexual, etc.

First of all, any member of this site can post a story so I see no need for this to be an "invitation only" chat event. Secondly, the descriptions of any sexual encounters should be kept tasteful, whether you want to call that PG or PG-13 or R that doesn't matter to me. Thirdly, mods all work the site on a volunteer basis, no money involved.
Other than that I see no problem with your suggestions.

Wow dude, lucky you lol. The house I'm staying in now has only one floor but it's so small it isn't funny.
Though that being said I still can't avoid stairs here, as I have classes at a nearby University...and for a few of them I have to dash up two or three flights of stairs.
