ICFA: the last two days

March 22, 2024

Let’s see. Friday I had a 10:30am thing, which I know because I couldn’t have breakfast with the family. Oh, yes, it turned out to be what Geoffrey Landis said might have been the most fun he’d ever had at an ICFA panel! laughs It was a panel with myself and Kate JohnsTon, moderated by Novella, and Kate read an incredibly funny piece from the point of view of a genetically engineered modern T-Rex who was very, very horny, followed by two more very funny pieces, after which I read…

March 21, 2024

Ok, I’m going to try an actual con writeup here, before I forget everything.

March 20, 2024

I’m back from the International Conference for the Fantastic in the Arts (ICFA) where I was a guest of honor over the past week, and I am ridiculously tired but had a wonderful time. I am, in fact, too tired to type coherently, so if this is fully of typos, I… will assume you can read through them bc omg. so tired. :) I’d never been to ICFA and was, tbh, very very nervous and feeling quite imposter-syndromey, which is not my general modus operandi, but my god, guys, the…

Guest of Honor in Orlando, March 2024!

February 7, 2024

Guess who’s going to be in Orlando next month? I’m one of the guests of honor at the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts conference in Orlando from March 13-16, 2024! It looks fun and exciting, and I’m really looking forward to it! I’m sorry I haven’t made this news public earlier, but last year was so difficult that I wasn’t sure until quite recently that I’d actually be able to participate in the conference, so I’d been keeping quiet until I was sure I wouldn’t be disappointing…
