FlyCon 2009
FlyCon - the worldwide online SF/F con - starts today at 2pm Paris time (that’s midnight in Australia and 9am Eastern Time) and finishes at 5pm Monday in Australia and around midnight the day before in San Francisco. Panels and author chats are running continuously plus there’s a dealer’s room and a masquerade (photos on Flickr)
All in all it’s everything you get at a con but without the hotel bill, the registration fees, the travel, the delays and the cold that follows you home:)
Authors attending include Geoff Ryman, Kate Elliot, Sherwood Smith, Karen Miller, Roberta Gellis, Alma Alexander, Devon Monk, Marie Brennan, Sarah Zettel, Jennifer Fallon, Chaz Brenchley, Jack Dann, Sara Douglass, Jeri Smith-Ready, Lisa Mantchev, Simon Haynes, Pati Nagle, Dave Freer and SC Butler.
The schedule is here I’m doing three panels tomorrow and one at 5am on Sunday - alarms will have to be set:)
As part of the festivities I’ll be giving away copies of Resonance. Yes, Resonance is now free to download - five formats and not a hint of DRM anywhere. You can get your copy from the Con Bag in the Dealer’s Room or from here
