Lunacon! Lunacon! Lunacon!
Mar. 13th, 2008 09:36 pmJust a reminder that I'll be at Lunacon this weekend, so you'll likely not hear much from me. (Not that you've heard much in the last few days, but . . .)
Here's my schedule again. As far as I know, nothing has changed.
Saturday, March 15th
Reading 11-11:30AM Port Chester
Participants: Joshua Palmatier (reading from The Vacant Throne)
When Fandom and Livejournal Collide 1-2PM Boton
Livejournal had a pretty big year, but we don't necessarily mean that in a positive way. Permanent accounts went on sale for the first time since 2005. Brad left LJ for good in August, about four months prior to Six Apart's sale to the Russian company SUP. And, perhaps most memorably, fandom was outraged by the Great Strikethrough of 2007 in May, and then again by Strikethrough 2: Electric Boogaloo in August. Come discuss your reaction to the events of the past year.
Participants: Patricia Bray[M]
pbray, Jennifer Heddle, Joshua Palmatier
Signings 6-7PM Westchester Assembly
Participants: Keith DeCandido
kradical, David Mack, Joshua Palmatier
Normal Working Chaps 8-9pm Boton
Not all characters can all be heroes, but that doesn't mean that they aren't important. After all, you can't have a colony or society for our heroes to save if no one is milking the cows and preparing the meals. A discussion of how folks like shop keepers, chefs, farmers, cops-on-the-beat figure in our stories, and make them that much richer.
Participants: Barbara Campbell, Alexis Gilliland, Peter Heck[M], Joshua Palmatier
Sunday, March 16th
Building Worlds 101: From Genesis To Apocalypse 12-1pm
How to build (and destroy) realistic and believable settings for your fiction. How to use bits and pieces from our own history to make your world more realistic.
Participants: Alma Alexander[M]
anghara, Jacqueline Carey, Joshua Palmatier, Darrell Schweitzer
