Ravencon--Day 1
April 26, 2008
Day 1 was a blast. I was on a panel about podcasting for
authors and got to be part of a Quick Write, which is where
you put several teams of authors together in groups of 3,
give them absurd story prompts and have each person on the
team write either a beginning, middle or end with each
person having less than 3 minutes. The results were
amusingly bad, notwithstanding the fact that we had a
number of major awardwinning writers on the teams, but
that's half the fun. After all, what kind of story would
YOU come up with given the prompt to write something about
a four-legged starfish in the coliseum with a statue of a
punk centaur and an atomic waffle iron? (OK, it was at 10
p.m. after a long day...maybe you had to be there.)
The vendor room was fun--fellow Broad Universe member
Danielle Ackley-McPhail and her Bad-Ass Faries collection
was there--go Danny! The sessions ranged from serious (13
ways to end the world and world building) to silly (see
above), but everyone was in great form.
As with any con, the fun went way late as people sat up
talking and having a good time. But don't take my word for
it--watch the video!
