desperanceEveryone is posting their FogCon schedules; it's practically a meme.
Me, I am giving a reading at 3pm on Friday: certainly something from Hidden Cities - which will be available! in the dealers' room! for the first time ever! - and maybe a short-short story on the side.
Then on Saturday, at 9am (!):
A Sense of Displacement
Write Where You Know: If you’ve never been to Mars, how can you write about it? How does where you’ve been affect your work? Do you have to travel in order to write about far-flung actual places, even if you then transmute them into fantasy?
M: Emily Jiang, Chaz Brenchley, Cassie Alexander, Lynn Alden Kendall
and on Saturday at 8pm (!!):
Why London? Nod Nolyhw?
What is it about England’s capital that inspires so many stories positing the existence of a second, evil twin city? Maybe it’s that there’s enough history there for two separate cities. Or that there’s enough ghosts that a second, spectral city is the only answer to affordable housing. Whatever the reason, London keeps authors coming back to build: above, below, instead and sometimes in ways we really don’t have prepositions for. But why?
M: Amy Sundberg, Alan Beatts, Chaz Brenchley, Valerie Estelle Frankel
Otherwise, and far more properly, I shall be in the bar. Hope to see you there...
