Mary Anne Mohanraj asked folks to forward this. It's not specifically SF/F, though she says SF/F is welcome.

WisCon Report (Updated)

This is going to be disjointed, but then so is my typical con experience.

Our WisCon vacation started with the trip down on Friday. Breakfast with the usual suspects (Ben, Steph, Sara, James) here before caravaning to Madison. We put a WisCon 2010 banner in the back window of the Smart car but didn't get any waves for it until we were within a few blocks of the hotel. Parked next to a Mini in the ramp because the Smart makes it look huge.

Bumped into my (one and only) cousin Liz in the lobby. ...

Serial Question

This probably isn't worth a post, but both Kelly and I were featured responders (separately) in on of SF Signal's Mind Meld posts. The fun part of the Mind Meld posts is that they ask a number of SF/F luminaries to respond to a single question. It's really fun to see who they ask (the range is often from the bigger names to people like me,) and what they have to say.

At any rate, mine is up today and answers the question "What Science Fiction Series is Underrated?"

Kelly's response was up last ...

Soooo.....?

Anyone care to point me to some post-WisCON reports? I'm dying to know how it all went (without me!)

A bunch of people saying smart things about writing.

Sarah Monette on craft vs inspiration in art.

Judith Tarr on 10 things writers and others get wrong about horses. Very useful this. Also things horse people take for granted. I'm a bit less sanguine o...
