Thylaconning

[xenith]

Just had a look at the Thylacon program to see what I got put. Admittedly I did tell the lovely Tansy something like: these are possible panels, stick me where you need someone.

So I have:

• Is there Life in the Old Dragon Yet? Traditional Fantasy in the New Millennium
  
  
• Centrelink 2050 - what jobs will we lose to the new technologies?
  
  
• Last battles, holy wars and duels to the death: why fantasy needs fight scenes.
  

It's the last one that I'm a little worried about*. One of the other panellists in the guy I get to 'check' my fight scenes. Now, if it was to stay on topic, I can be quite talkative on that but you know... OTOH it's one of the last panels at the con, against a last chance to meets the GOHs panel, so probably no one will turn up!

The good thing is none of them are at time when I wanted to be elsewhere.

Actually, I'm a little worried about all of them. Maybe I'll pack some vodka in the suitcase. That'll get me talking ;)

Oh, I'll have vodka with me! And other liquidy goodness ;) Do you have any favourites?

You'll do fine. I had a loop thrown at me at Norwescon at the Writing Beginnings section asked me to read the beginning paragraph of my book. I knew that one worked, so I was confident. Then, he asked me to read the beginning paragraph of my second chapter...Well, I wasn't sure how it opened, but it was strong too. So I didn't look silly. You'll often surprise yourself how good your writing can be.

Thanks.

The main point of this con is to have fun after all. Actually, I'm not even sure that is true. Learn something? Mingle? Run up more bills.

The last one I went to was something of a disaster. For me. Seems everyone else thought it was great :|
