Picocon!

[juliet]

I am going to be a Guest of Honour at Picocon (very small but perfectly formed SFF convention run annually by the Imperial College SFF society) this year! It is on Sat 22nd February, at Imperial College London[0] (it's near South Ken tube), so if anyone fancies a one-day SFF convention in London at around a tenner a ticket, I urge you to come along and see me, Tamsyn Muir (author of the most excellent Gideon the Ninth), and Roz Kaveney. We will variously all get to talk about something we fancy talking about, and take part in a panel discussion; plus there are other bits and bobs going on during the day. And a bar, of course.

As per the above paragraph, I am expected to give a talk about "anything you like, honestly!"; at present I have no idea what this is going to be. (Suggestions welcome.) I hope it will be entertaining, at any rate.

GOH, how very lovely!

I've added Gideon the Ninth to my reading list, because a number of people have rec'd it recently, and it looks delightful.

it's completely great! much recommend! I am quite excited about getting to meet Tamsyn :)

Actually I ought to re-read it.

That's brilliant, congratulations! I was hoping to attend. And Tamsyn Muir seemed great when I saw her on a panel, this is all good. (I got a fancy hardback Gideon for Christmas, so I can't carry it around = working slowly through the necromancy.)

As per above, I loved Gideon. Hopefully see you there, then!

Oooh, congratulations!

And "anything you like, honestly!" is rather unhelpful... Happy choosing!

Thank you!

I'm sure I'll think of something...
