My flash Ships Made of Guns was published in Daily Science Fiction on Tuesday. Love this story, so typical of my writing and the questions I find myself asking again and again.

Mood: a bit proud, to be honest

My WorldCon Schedule

From C3PO to Murderbot: why we love our droids Format: Panel 16 Aug 2019, Friday 17:00 - 17:50, Wicklow Hall 2B (CCD) From robots to sentient drones to cyborgs, our not-quite-human creations continue to fascinate, inspire, and break our hearts. As different as Star Trek’s Data is from Iain M. Banks’s minds, we cannot help but see ourselves in those larger-than-life creations. The panel will discuss the reasons why and how the machine-people serve as a mirror cabinet to humanity.

Gregory Norman Bossert, M V Melcer, Charles Vess (Green Man Press), Norman Cates (Weta Digital / CoNZealand) (M)...

I would have wanted to attend more panels, but time was limited and I didn't want to spend it standing in lines. Also, I made a decision to prioritise meeting people over going to panels, because as great as they can be, it is 1) hit and miss, even with the best participants, and 2) I can usually access the information/discussion in some form online or in a podcast and getting IRL time with friends is not something that can be as easily replaced.

Returning

About a year ago, I moved my blog to Dream Width . I like it there because of the sense of community -- but the disadvantage is that if you're not a member, it's hard to track entries. So I gained one community but lost another. I was hoping some of the changes made would allow for cross-posting, but it's not happening--however, I've now found a way of doing it manually, without too much trouble. Yay! I've considered moving a year-worth of posts back here, but that's too much work. So instead, I'll get the three latest ones, and we'll take it from there! Here's to a new leaf for the autumn! :)
