WriterCon

[rm]

I leave for WriterCon tomorrow afternoon and should land in Minneapolis around 8pm.

If you're going to be at the con, please come check out the programming I'm involved with:

Saturday, 10am:
Sharks Vs Jets: Writing Fight Scenes

Saturday, 6pm:
Torchwood/Doctor Who spoiler-filled bar event

Saturday, 8pm:
The Language of Love: How Sex Scene Descriptives Color the Overall Story

You can also come say hi in the vendors room, where I'll be manning a table with authors Martha Wells and Elle Parker. We'll all have our books available for sale and hope you'll spend some dosh with us!


I also want to recommend:

Friday, 2pm:
Is Fandom Gonna Have to Choke a Bitch? Language and Gender in Fanfiction

Saturday, 10am:
If You Build It, They Will Come: How the Internet Builds Communities Around Fanfic which includes kalichan

Saturday, 2pm:
Slash: Gay, Queer, Both, Neither? because I think the topic is really important

Sunday, 10am:
Cage Match: Science vs. Magic which includes kalichan

Sunday, 2pm:
Evil in Our Midst: Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia in Fandom includes invisible_lift and kalichan. This panel is right at the end of the con, probably to prevent any tension from it form spilling out to the rest of the con. I do wish it was earlier in the weekend, as I, and probably others, will miss it because we need to get on our flights out. But if you're there, I'd recommend going.

Well, heck...this sounds like quite a good con! I will endeavor to not forget about it by next year.

Sharks vs Jets sounds awesome!

Man, I really wish I could hear Sharks vs. Jets! Writing fight scenes is like pulling teeth for me.

For complex reasons, I may not be un-friendslocked disseminating material from it, but there probably will be a handout and possibly an audio recording available which if this happens, I'm happy to make available to you.

I'd like that too, if it's not too much trouble. (I love writing fight scenes but there's always more to learn.)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no problem. Anyone who knows me is welcome to it, I just don't want it floating free.

This looks so awesome. I wish I could go to all of these!

Wow, I've never heard of it. Is it always in Muplis? I thought I was pretty well aware of what goes on around here, con-wise...

This weekend is also Diversicon, which, if I have money, I'll be going to. I might've considered WriterCon had I known earlier.

We don't know each other very well, but let me know if you're interested in trying to get together somehow.

I'm in the Mpls area. Know that there are people here who will be thinking good thoughts for you. If you have any questions about the area...let me know, I might be able to help.
