ZOMG
Nessa just discovered this fact as of two seconds ago:
George R R Martin is a Special Guest at Comic Con.
I was wondering if Comic Con was even going to be worth going to at ALL this year cause I've seen it all. I was so totally wrong... so totally totally wrong.
THursday:
11:30-1:00 Fantasy: The Big Books- A big fantasy novel can be defined by its length or its sales; what is it about the genre that makes so many of the best-sellers also long novels or installments in long series? Panelists eco-gothic fantasy/sf writer Elizabeth Bear (Blood & Iron), Comic-Con special guest George R. R. Martin (A Feast for Crows), experienced “debut” epic fantasy author Jenna Rhodes (The Four Forges), wildly popular novelist R. A. Salvatore (The Legend of Drizzt), and editor Anne Groell (Bantam Dell Publishing Group) will discuss the phenomenon, with moderator Maryelizabeth Hart of Mysterious Galaxy. Room 2
Friday:
12:30-2:00 Spotlight on George R. R. Martin- With a career that covers fantasy writing (his popular "A Song of Fire and Ice" series of books), television (Twilight Zone and the beloved Beauty and the Beast), and comics, George R. R. Martin has pleased fans for many years. He and his works are featured in this special spotlight presentation. Room 6B
Saturday:
4:00-5:00 Bearing the Torch-and the Sword, and Shield, and Dragon…- How do established writers and new voices in the fantasy field balance giving readers the familiar elements they crave with telling stories in a fresh way? Moderator Maryelizabeth Hart (Mysterious Galaxy) seeks answers from Comic-Con special guest Peter Beagle (The Last Unicorn), Canadian-born teacher and fantasy writer David Keck (In the Eye of Heaven), best-selling author Todd McCaffrey (Dragon’s Fire), Temeraire historical fantasy creator Naomi Novik (His Majesty’s Dragon), A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R. R. Martin (A Feast for Crows), popular novelist Rebecca Moesta (Crystal Doors), and fantasy author and screenwriter Eldon Thompson (The Obsidian Key). Room 9

HOLY FUCKING CHRIST. I am so goddamn excited. Staff badge + George Martin = Hella happy Nessa.
AND TO THINK I WAS GONNA MISS COMIC CON FOR RAIDS!
Bonus: ubar huge Burning Crusade promotion with free goody bag and free posters for WoW & Starcraft artists to sign (if you pay for autograph I'm assuming).
So now I question myself... WHY DIDN'T I READ THE COMIC CON EVENT SHIT EARLIER?
