Flash Fiction: Short, But Not Easy
Many people think that Flash Fiction must be easy to write since the stories are so short. It takes real skill to be able to tell a compelling story in only a few hundred words. Our panel will discuss some of the key skills needed, and the best places to get your flash fiction noticed.

Alienbuilding
We talk a lot about worldbuilding, but alienbuilding is just as important and often takes even greater sensitivity. From bothans to orcs, what does it take to create a believable psychology, language, and civilization for aliens and non-humans alike that still keeps them relatable to us? What makes a believable species? What pitfalls and dangers should we avoid?
