At WisCon I was able to quietly sneak away with a copy of the latest Electric Velocipede (issue 17/18!). I was super excited to see it because my story Enmity is contained within. There are also stories by many friends of mine, including two other Altered Fluidians: Mercurio D. Rivera and Matthew Kressel.
I saw John [...]
First one is something a lot of people asked for since it was pretty awesome last year. Second one is something I’ve been wanting to do for months and months, especially since I didn’t follow up with the great ideas from last year. Third most of you know about already.
WisCon POC Meet & Greet
Come hang [...]
[ May 22, 2009 to May 25, 2009. ] Later with this than anyone else, but there were some changes to my panel lineups and I was waiting to make sure everything else was settled. As I emailed everyone on the panel I’m moderating on Sunday, I figure I can be public about it all now.
NOT ANOTHER F*CKING RACE PANEL — Fri 9:00 – [...]
So, over at my tech blog, Victoria mentioned that she wanted to have a netbook panel at WisCon. I know she’d talked about this before, but I didn’t see it on the programming form. I suggested that we have a luncheon or something similar where people who have netbooks can gather to talk about how [...]
So, even though I put up a post about it and stuff, I didn’t get my WisCon panel descriptions in before the deadline! Between my jobs and racefail and then Comicon, the deadline completely whizzed past me. Plus, I had wanted to come up with panel descriptions for two of them and couldn’t for some [...]
So since I have several stories coming out this year, I think I should get to do a reading at WisCon. Hopefully others will agree. Who wants to do a reading with me? We’d have to come up with a theme of some sort.
Let’s see, I have a mythic story coming up based on Orpheus [...]
Just a reminder that the WisCon Panel Brainstorming post is still going on. Consider it an open thread for all things discussiony :)
A few days ago WisCon opened up the panel suggestion form. Yay! I love suggesting panels. Since the brainstorming post last year was a big hit and led to many good things, I thought I would host another. Everyone is welcome to contribute. If you have just an inkling of an idea or a well-formed [...]
The evil stomach sickness of doom did indeed get me, but did not get me hard. I had some fastpoops and some pain, but nothing very serious and it was gone in about 18 hours. Unfortunately those 18 hours encompassed most of my panels. Pepto did me well. Others were not so lucky :(
More con [...]
I have taken many pictures and one video.
You are so not allowed to see the video.
…
Online.
I have a video MP3 player.
Just sayin’.
1. Due to my Internet troubles some IAFAuctions did not go up on schedule! Luckily one did. Cris did a beautiful necklace for Prester John and I got to poke it for the first time yesterday. It stood up to poking! The other auction was JoSelle’s piece based on Black Feather, which is so awesome [...]
Here are the details we’ve worked out for the unofficial POC-only events @ WisCon:
Friday:
Meet & Greet
After the opening ceremonies (approx 8:30PM) there will be an informal gathering of POC so that we can meet each other, plan how we’re going to deal with certain aspects of the POC space during the con, and squee over [...]
I finally have parts for my button machine again and so I am willing to take orders/suggestions for buttons. I’m even going to buy some color paper today to make the buttons stand out! Exciting.
If you would like a button or some buttons, all you have to do is tell me what you’d like it/them [...]
I just got my final programming schedule and all of my panels are on Sunday! And now that the process is complete, it’s time to discuss the POC-only panel “Intra-POC Relationships & Coalition Building” that was first suggested in this thread. As discussed there and elsewhere, there are issues surrounding creating a POC-only [...]
Remember last year when I was on 7 panels and did two readings plus organized a party? Yeah, I’m not doing that again this year. I am determined to enjoy myself by actually talking to people one on one and in small groups. I plan to attend parties and hang out with cool [...]
You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm famous on the internet, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.
