hawkwing_lbSo, I've been invited to participate in a convention. As a panelist, like.
I've never been before and I'd likely not be going if I hadn't been invited, because OH MY THESIS GOD and also WHERE HAS MY MONEY GONE? - but! I am going, barring disaster.
Octocon 2013, The Irish National Science Fiction Convention, 12/10/2013 to 13/10/2013, The Camden Court Hotel, Camden St, Dublin 2.
13:00 Sat - Pavilion - Masterclass in Contemporary Fantasy
The third in our annual masterclass series, asking which Fantasy works released in recent years should you be reading!
15:00 Sat - Tivoli - Mapping the Fantastic
Using the small space we explore to see the whole unreal world.
16:00 Sat - Pavilion - Best 2013 Books for Award Consideration
Nominations for the Hugos to be awarded in 2014 opens in January, what books are worth your time for reading?
11:00 Sun - Tivoli - Ageism in Genre
Its nearly always the plucky young hero.
13:00 Sun - Tivoli - What Makes a Hero?
From the classics to modern fiction, how has the vision of heroism changed?
(The organiser-person hasn't told me who else will be on these panels.)
