Orycon 34 Schedule

I finally got my schedule for Orycon 34, which happens from November 2-4 in Portland, Oregon.

Three Thumbs Up

Morrison             Fri Nov 2 2:00pm-3:00pm

Book and movie reviews have their own special pitfalls.  When to be

snarky, when to be nice, developing a style, filling a niche, and how to

stand out in a sea of freely-offered commentators and reviewers in print

and on the web.

(*)John C. Bunnell, Aaron Duran, Craig Laurance Gidney

Group 2 Horror Short Story

WW1                  Fri Nov 2 4:00pm-5:00pm

Wendy N. Wagner, Craig Laurance Gidney

Writing the Other: Races and Cultures

Morrison             Fri Nov 2 5:00pm-6:00pm

Speculative fiction often takes steps toward being more egalitarian, but

there are still huge challenges ahead.  Issues of appropriation, respect,

stereotypes, and taking chances.  How to get educated and still write

naturally and from the heart.

J. A. Pitts, Stoney Compton, Alma Alexander, (*)Grá Linnaea, Craig
