Added by lampbane. Penguicon 2008: Excellence in an Economy of Words--Why Write Short Fiction? (April 19 at 14:00) Sarah Monette.; M. Keaton.; Elizabeth Bear.; Lucy Snyder. Authors increasingly insist they only want to write novel length and that the short form is boring. Market numbers seem to indicate that the short form is dying. And yet, the demand for flash fiction continues to grow and a generation rises raised on instant gratification and short attention spans. Why ... (more)write short stories? How are they different from novels other than length? What extra skills are required? And what about the dreaded serial? Our panelists explain.
Added by lampbane. Penguicon 2008: There's Darkness In My Genre (April 19 at 15:00) Sarah Monette.; William Jones.; Catherynne Valente.; Cherie Priest. Horror elements increasingly creep into Sci-Fi and Fantasy, especially in the urban settings. Why? Is there something basic in the nature of horror itself that translates into all genres? Do we just enjoy being scared so much that we want a taste of it in everything? Our panelists present their views.
Added by lampbane. Penguicon 2008: Bear and Mole Show (sadly, with Troll) (April 19 at 21:00) Sarah Monette.; M. Keaton.; Elizabeth Bear. Two powerhouse writers and one distraction work hard for your amusement. They'll read just enough to make you want to buy more. They'll share glimpses of their writing so dazzling that you'll walk from the room blinded. They'll leave you wondering why their work isn't mandatory reading for every school ... (more)child in America. Bring your books that you may fawn at their feet and beg them to sign. Bring offerings of fine foods and drink and they might at that. (Oh, and MK will read too.)
