rarelylynne, here's what we will be up to:
Saturday, 4 PM
Better Than the Book — Movie adaptations are notorious for being worse than the book, but there are a few that are actually better. Panelists discuss films, other than "Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter...." Find some forgotten gems or see which book you don't need to read!
T. Bucknell, D. Goldfelder, J. Liss, M. Thomas, S. Waitsman
Saturday, 5 PM
What Books Should I Have Read This Year? — Panelists fill you in on what you should have been reading this year, in all areas of speculative fiction, not just military SF. They discuss ground-breaking new ideas, well-written older ones and those that are just plain fun.
K. Edwards, R. Horton, J. Robertson, L. Thomas, M. Thomas
Sunday, 10 AM
Archive It! That's an Order — Join librarians and authors as they present an insightful look at writing and preserving works, both final and in process. What do they keep and how do they keep it? How has the digital world changed the work of an archivist?
E. Flint, V. Hoski, E.E. Knight, L. Thomas
Sunday, 11 AM
Virtue and the "Best" Novel of the Year — Panelists review the various "best" novels for the past several years and how the award-winners were chosen. What are the awards saying by making a novel the "best?" Do these ideas reflect fan interests and concerns?
R. Horton, L. Thomas, M. Thomas, J. Robertson, S. Silver
Sunday, 1 PM
My Favorite New Author — Each year a number of new authors are published, but how do you know which ones are worth reading? Our panelists make their pitch for their favorite new author. See if you agree.
K. Edwards, R. Green, R. Horton, S. Silver, L. Thomas, M. Thomas
