I was only able to make it for the last day of the final Condition convention, but I'm happy to say I had a great time. The World Building panel I ran had a lot of active participants and everybody brought a lot of great ideas to the table in regards to what goes into creating a world for furry characters to populate. We read excerpts from two other authors,
kandrel 's story Dream a Little Dream of Me from Hot Dish and
whyteyote 's story Two minutes from Heat Issue 9 which everybody provided great insights for. Both excerpts were used with the author's blessing and support and formed perfect examples of world building as done by great writers in the tight space afforded by the short story format.
The finishing project was the collaborative design of a barbershop for the modern day metrosexual furry in need of a wolf-scaping (yeah I'm imagining me) that brought up the implications of propriety, privacy and infrastructure. All in all it went pretty well for a first-time ever con panel and the audience made it awesome as only they can.
In just twelve days I'm heading off to my next and last major con of the year, Camp Feral. I won't be doing a panel there but will be going to some writing workshops or panels held by GOH
tempo321 and am really looking forward to meeting some new people while getting inspiration for what comes next.
Writing wise, there should be a new chapter of Open Seasons very soon. I've relined some parts of the story now that a plot issue has been resolved going forward and its my hope to have it on the boards before I go on a cottage excursion later this week. Lyrise has to contend with some of the lies she's told and has to shepherd a new agent through the complex web of intrigue and deception that is her job.
