BayCon schedule

[desperance]

In other newses, we will both be at BayCon, the last weekend of this month (I have no notion of actual dates; every time I ask, the answer is "Memorial Day weekend, always" - and then I ask in a more detailed manner, and "It's the last weekend in May, always." So there you go).

My schedule looks like this:

1. Location, Location, Location -- Setting your Story in a Science Fiction World on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM in Lafayette
(with Deborah J. Ross, Clare Bell, T.S. Luikart, Allison Lonsdale)

Your character has to live somewhere, and that somewhere needs to support the story. It's embarrassing to have a great scene all written involving bikini- or Speedo-dressed people, when they all live in the first permanent settlement on the Moon, and only landed yesterday....

2. Book View Cafe and ePublishing on Saturday from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM in Ballroom D
(with Irene Radford, Deborah J. Ross, Dave Trowbridge, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff)

Book View Cafe members discuss their experiences with this authors' co-op and ePublishing.

3. Travel is My Drug of Choice on Sunday from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM in Camino Real
(with Norm Sperling, James Stanley Daugherty, Deirdre Saoirse Moen)

Avid travelers travel for different reasons. Panelists discuss the motivations behind their enthusiasm.

4. Alternative Lifestyles and Sci-Fi/Fantasy on Sunday from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM in Lafayette
(with Kyle Aisteach, Lon Sarver, D.M. Atkins, Ian Grey, Jaym Gates, Andrew Clark, Brad Nelson)

From Heinlein's line marriage to Ethan of Athos, a discussion of alternative lifestyles, chosen or otherwise.
