Day Two of Worldcon! And The Neurodiversiverse is already selling out at Liminal Fiction! (Apparently someone mentioned it at a panel!) But if you want forty-plus hopeful, empowering own-voices stories of neurodivergent people encountering aliens, conveniently packaged with poetry and art in an award-winning anthology, please drop by their booth and buy up the rest of their stock of the NDV!
We still don’t have a fully staffed table as some people couldn’t make it to the con (one, yesterday, held up when their train stopped while the police resolved an active shooter situation (!)). But I am getting work done on my presentation for Saturday (and on my blogging!)
Some great costumes and t-shirts this year, even though traffic near the CA/Milford booth is a bit thin.
I particularly liked this Oz guardsman!
Also met many authors and friends of authors I know. And, at breakfast at Alder and Ash this morning, I got in line at the host stand, only for the guy in front of me to step aside and say “Sorry! Still waiting for my party to arrive.” I was seated promptly … and then, moments later, the guy saw the woman sitting at the table next to me and joined her, saying “You were seated at the only table I couldn’t see from the door. THEN this random dude starts mentioning that The Shattering Peace was doing well and discussing panels, and a quick glance confirmed it was John Scalzi, my favorite blogger, who apparently also writes books or something, which some of you may have heard of, discussing publishing with someone in the industry.
I let them eat, and finished my delicious breakfast so I could staff the table.
