Shorter Kathryn Cramer: How dare conventions promote panels that are hostile toward people who repeatedly engage in racist, sexist, or otherwise prejudicial speech or actions against oppressed groups within the SF community. You are making those of us who want to prop up the oppressive status quo that has served us so well feel uncomfortable, [...]
I was recruited to this panel the night before as Charlie Jane wanted to balance the panel out. She was apparently afraid there’d be too many “made of win” people. The discussion got heated several times and no one recorded my meltdown of fury at Anastasia. But overall it was productive and awesome:
@tinytempest #Dollhouse panel [...]
Here are the tweets I could find posted during the Revenge of the Not Another Fucking Race Panel at WisCon 34. A good time was definitely had by all:
@tinytempest Narrowly escaped being the Vanna White of this panel.
@wrdnrd This year’s not-another-race-panel features super awesome category “what would johanna do??” (Don’t cry, sis!)
@tinytempest @ceciliatan [...]
These are the tweets I could find associated with Friday’s Chicks Dig Time Lords panel at WisCon 34. It was a lot of fun talking about Doctor Who with such fine people, and Twitter can only capture part of it:
@tinytempest “I was seduced into Doctor Who fandom by a really cute boy” says @lynnemthomas
@rhiannonrevolts [...]
Would anyone be interested in having a little netbook gathering since there won’t be a netbook panel again this year? People who are interested in netbooks could come and ask questions and paw at netbooks, people who own them can talk about the awesome stuff they’re doing with netbooks, and some other netbook-related activity.
Thoughts?
Last year’s POC dinner was a big hit and folks have been asking if we’re going to do it again. I say: YES. Because I loved it and want more. This year we’ll have several gatherings just in case someone can’t make one or the other, though only one will be POC-only. If you identify [...]
Because I have been disconnected from most of the blogosphere due to my intense (yet awesome) job, I have no idea if anyone is coordinating a mass POC meetup thing similar to what we had last year. I would be very happy to organize such a thing if no one else is doing so, but [...]
[ May 27, 2010 to June 1, 2010. ] I have less than a week to go before WisCon, hooray! Thinking of that made me realize that I haven’t posted my panel schedule here. It’s light this year and thus I will likely be a lot saner. But I am contemplating doing a panel in the overflow room. We’ll see. Meantime, here you go:
Chicks [...]
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 :)
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.
