Rainfurrest Schedule!
10 years ago
Rainfurrest is mere days away! Here's my schedule for the big weekend...
Thursday, September 24th
7:00pm Who Is Mary Sue? (Elliott B)
Come listen to Jess E. Owen, George Squares, and me talk about wish-fulfillment characters -- how to avoid them or if you should.
8:00pm Furry Writers' Guild Meet & Greet (Hospitality Suite/Patron Lounge)
These meetings are a great chance for writers to connect and talk about where the community is heading. If you're new to the furry writing community, you can learn about this essential, central hub. If you're already a member, then I shouldn't have to convince you to come.
9:00pm Cóyotl Awards (Hospitality Suite/Patron Lounge)
A grand celebration of furry fiction! Our Mooster-of-Ceremonies will sing and present certificates whilst wearing antlers and a tux. There will be cookies!
Friday, September 25th
10:00am Safety In Numbers: Writing Groups (Elliott B)
I'm the co-chair of one of the longest running sci-fi/fantasy critique groups in the world. (Possibly the longest running.) Come listen to me talk about critique groups with Yannarra and Voice Spider who are part of a very successful furry group that's structured very differently. It should be interesting!
11:00am I Cast Thee Out! Dealing with Rejection and Critique (Elliott B)
After five years in a critique group that doesn't pull any punches and more than 900 story rejections, I have some experience with handling rejection and critique. Come listen to me talk about it with Phil Geusz and Renee Carter Hall.
2:00pm A Reading with Mary Lowd (Hospitality Suite/Patron Lounge)
I haven't decided what I'll be reading from yet -- possibly part of my novel that came out this summer, In a Dog's World, or a story from my new collection, The Necromouser and Other Magical Cats. Or both? Or something completely different? Seriously, if anyone has requests, I'm open to considering them.
5:00pm Research and Internal Consistency (Elliott B)
Come listen to Kitswulf, George Squares, and me talk about research and internal consistency.
Saturday, September 26th
10:00am Writing 101 #2 (Elliott B)
Anything you want to know about writing? Julianne Reyer, Yannarra, and I will start from the beginning and be happy to take questions.
2:00pm FurPlanet and SofaWolf Book Launch (Hospitality Suite/Patron Lounge)
I'm not actually on this panel, because my new book is a SURPRISE LAST MINUTE addition to the RF releases. Nonetheless, I do have a new book -- The Necromouser and Other Magical Cats -- coming out from FurPlanet, and I also have a story in Ocean's Inhuman Acts: A Collection of Noir. So I plan to be there!
