rolanniFor those who may be interested:
Friday 6:00 pm How to Make SF More Inviting to Teens
Ellen Asher, Bruce Coville, Sharon Lee, Clayton L. McNally (M), Mary A. Turzillo
Friday 7:00 pm Trends in SF Publishing: Technology
Cory Doctorow, James Patrick Kelly, Clayton L. McNally, Steve Miller (M), Don Sakers
Has there really been a paradigm shift in publishing -- from books to "content"? What's going on beyond the printed page -- from micro-
presses, e-books, podcasts, and the like?
Friday 7:00 pm Reading (etc.) -- Internal or Published Chronology?
Ellen Asher, Sharon Lee (M), Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Steven Sawicki, Joe Siclari
Does reading (or watching) in the order published give you a better
idea of the writer's (or the writer's world's?!) own development?
Does going by internal date best show you the story/character arc in
the way it was actually intended? Which way do publishers, writers,
or readers prefer? In which series does it seem to matter most.?
Which should come first, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" or
"The Magician's Nephew"? Star Wars4 or Star Wars1? Come up with some
other good examples.
Friday 9:30 pm 1/2 hr Reading (0.5 hrs)
Sharon Lee, Steve Miller
Saturday 12:30 pm Literary Beer
Sharon Lee, Steve Miller
Saturday 2:00 pm Learning the (Small Press) World
Ernest Lilley (M), Steve Miller, Don Sakers
Saturday 3:00 pm Meta Stories: Blending of Series of Books

Sunday 11:00 am Autographing
Sunday 2:00 pm Preserving Culture in Small Systems
Tobias Buckell, F. Brett Cox, Michael F. Flynn, Sharon Lee (M), Ken MacLeod
The classic case is the generation ship where something goes wrong
and the culture which sent the ship out is overcome by a strongman
or superstition. Join this discussion of "cultural drift." Why are
small systems fragile, and what can be done with planning your
mission to the nearest star (or wherever) to guard against this
problem?
