A few weeks ago, Phoebe mentioned that she was able to take part in a panel with other Australian creatives at the Sydney Opera House courtesy of Chanel. A clip of the panel can be found in her post. (Also mentioning again that her latest project, Boy Swallows Universe premieres on Netflix on January 11th)

That's all that I could find for this month's post!

I don't think I've ever toured around Minnesota before, but I'd go for this.

The Revival of Celebrity Look-Alike Competitions

It might be mere coincidence that the resurgence of celebrity look-alike contests coincided with American citizens casting their votes in what many deemed “the most significant presidential election in our lifetimes.” However, once these quirky competitions resurfaced, their appeal became immediately evident. Here was a unique form of democratic expression: an utterly trivial event where…

Big news!

I am now Head of Static Exhibits for Pemmi-Con, the 15th occasional North American Science Fiction Convention, being held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 20―23 July this year. (The NASFiC is held when the World Science Fiction Convention is outside North America, as it is this year in Chengdu, and will be next year in Glasgow.)

This gives me almost complete freedom to present a large display about the peaceful uses of atomic energy. I have a number of snazzy things in preparation, including two pay telephones set up to play audio clips originally produced for radio broadcast.

Of course, given the dates of the convention, I will also have a space display, and I plan to make souvenir badges using US 10¢ “First on the Moon” postage stamps.

To make all this happen requires money, and at this time I will be especially appreciative of recurring or one-time gifts of support. In fact, thanks to a timely contribution, I have just ordered two more table drapes. I do try to find nifty ways of showing my appreciation.

[man-and-atom]

We will be at the Worldcon in Glasgow, but we do not yet know whether we will be presenting an atomic-energy display. Responses from the organizers have been very slow in coming.

In any case, we will have a display at AnimeFest in Arlington, Texas this weekend.

Hello,

I am currently getting excited about visiting my first WorldCon.

So I wondered if you'll attend? And if so, what's your protocoll for being accosted by strangers (aka me 🙈)?

Also, do you have any tips for a firsty? 🥺

Mel

Hi there!

Unfortunately @petermorwood and I can't make Worldcon in Glasgow this time out. We will be guesting in a week and a bit at the International Discworld Convention in Birmingham (to which we committed last year).

We were open to the possibility that we might be able to do Glasgow as well. But a combination of financial and health issues—the "health" issues meaning the arthritis in my hips and the disc trouble in my lower spine—have over the last six months made it plain that trying to do two conventions in one month wasn't going to work out. (shrug/sigh) Them's the breaks. Sorry about that: we'll miss you.

Meanwhile, you should have a great time there! And a first time at Worldcon is always a blast.

Some advice in passing:

(1) First, and maybe most important: strategize. This is quite a large event compared to other conventions you might have done (besides media megacons like SDCC or similar).

There'll be multiple programming tracks with all kinds of things going on. So take your time, spend some time examining whatever downloadable form of their program that the con may be making available, and see what interests you most.

Make a list of what you want to see. Do some ranking of items. Add a few interesting alternates in case items get changed or delayed.

(2) Once you're on site: get clear as quickly as you can on how long it will take you to get from wherever you're staying to where the programming is happening. Take note of how long it takes to get around from one part of the convention centre to another. Once you have this basic data, be aware that you'll probably need to add time to account for slow elevetors (in hotels or at the con venues) and to deal with lines that may form up outside of busy popular events.

(3) Don't forget to set aside some time to see both the dealers' room(s) and the art show. I never did get to see the art show in Dublin in 2019, which continues to drive me a bit nuts (as I have a long history of volunteering at Worldcon art shows).

(4) Keep an eye on your food and drink intake. Make sure to eat. Make sure to stay hydrated! ...It is surprisingly easy to forget to do one or both of these at a Worldcon when things start to get exciting.

There are usually places in the venue itself where you can grab a sandwich and a soft drink if you have no time for anything else. Seriously, make sure you take time to do this.

Also. if you've got the spare cash to do it: Watch out for people who need feeding but don't have the cash. Do what you can to assist them. There are routinely some folks around who've spent every penny getting to the con, and as a result have shortchanged themselves on the money they need to eat. Feeding the hungry is a good thing to do.

(5) Make sure you sleep. Cons are not pleasant when you're so tired you're hallucinatory, or microsleeping without warning and falling down stairs and escalators and things.

(6) If you like to dance, try to make it to John Scalzi's dance party! These are always memorable. John does the DJ-ing, and does a great job of it.

(7) Go outside and breathe the fresh air occasionally. While doing so, please do your best not to fall in the Clyde. :)

(8) Go to the bars, whether you plan to drink alcoholically or not. UK conventions have a long tradition of Bar Cons, where writers routinely congregate between program items, sometimes in surprising numbers. At this one in particular, since George R. R. Martin seems to not be on any panels, he has said he's going to be "in the bar" meeting people a lot: so that's something to think about.

(9) Other than that: meet people, talk to people, be excited about stuff, learn about new stuff to be excited about! That's always been the great joy of Worldcons for me.

And have a great con!

Twine Demo Ch. 1 Public Release

Hello everyone! It's finally here 🎉

Chapter one has gone from 53k words to 96k, very few of which are repeating. This is definitely a chapter to replay over and over again, as there is a lot of width to it 👀 Hopefully all of the major coding errors have been fixed, so you shouldn't have problems with playing (crossed fingers). The UI should be fine for comfortable reading on mobile as well!

There are now three different ways to meet Vethna + for the Jamie encounter to end, and the fight scene with the twins has been completely rehauled. Hopefully you enjoy the changes made!

Note: There are two "unfinished" scenes in the demo that are marked with 'X's beside the choice. My hope was to finish them before the public release but I simply did not have time. They'll likely be finished when Chapter 2 is released! This goes for the POV switch with the Ivante twins at the end of the chapter as well 🧎and a super fun extra scene too 🤫

ALSO: The Codex/Journal/Memory system is not implemented yet. It's in-the-works, but I intend to keep it off-limits until the re-write is done due to how many variables + moving parts there are to it.

Hope you enjoy! All feedback is welcome (and appreciated!)
