Flycon 2009

Please forward
Flycon 2009, an international online convention seeking to break down the tyranny of distance, will be held over the weekend from Friday, March 13th (starting midnight Australian eastern coast & 9 am US east coast) to Sunday, March 15th.

The con will be held through Live Journal, on web forums and IRC. There arefor horror/dark speculative fiction, science fiction & fantasy, as well as an online masquerade ball, dealers Room and informal chat/forum lounges. All you usually get at a con, without having to leave home (unless you want to.)

Pariticipants on the panels, author chats, workshops and interviews include Roberta Gellis, Sara Douglas, Jennifer Fallon, Dave Freer, Karen Miller, Chaz Brenchley, along with agents, editors, publicists, small press & mainstream publishers, and booksellers.

This is the first time such a large, international web event has been held, so check out flycon2009 for more information, and whether you are a Flycon participant, or attendee, we hope the content we've got together inspires everyone to stay around and enjoy the weekend.

The draft schedule is now available. Panels with only participant will disappear at the middle of the week so if the topic interests you, you might want to volunteer to be on that panel.
