Readercon, Part 3: Friday II
Jul. 15th, 2009 10:48 pmBefore I start on panels, if you haven't read![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coffeeandink 's post about the various problems with Readercon behind this link, you should. I don't think these are all insurmountable in and one case I'm not entirely sure that there's a problem[1], but what she ways and the ensuing conversation are important and valuable if you're interested in the present and future of the con.
Panel: Novels You Write Versus Novels You Talk About At Bars
( This should have been held at a bar. )
Tarot, Myth, and Imagination: Talk by Rachel Pollack
( Not what I was expecting but still enjoyable. )
A Contextual Definition of "Hallows" in the Work of Greer Gilman, byrushthatspeaks
( Hallows hallows hallows ... hallows hallows unweave unweave )
"Sword in the Hand" byeredien
( I guess I need to read Vinge now. )
Aaand I am totally burning out on doing these, I might wait a day to continue to make sure I am actually providing something awesome. Is it seriously only 4 PM on Friday in my notes? Wow, Readercon. Wow. Also hi to my new LiveJournal friends! I don't post this often normally, don't worry. :)
[1] I really enjoy being lectured to and taking pages and pages of notes. Maybe it's because I've learned to absorb information that way and then process it later at work and in grad school. I do think it's important to have things with other structures --- and for me to attend them sometimes --- but the way Readercon is structured really works for me, and I hope parts of it continue to be structured that way, so that I can keep going there and getting slammed with information and enjoy it.
