I've attempted to explain WorldCon to a few people here over the years, but now, I have props! Denvention is a little more than a week away (no, I don't get to go) (yes, I'm bitterly disappointed) and they've just put the Quick Reference Schedule up on their website. It has programming/panels/entertainment and so forth. So if you ever wanted to see what one gets up to at a WorldCon, now you can.
Later, a few of my favourites:
The ages of a writer's life: writing to get published, writing for fans, writing for posterity ~ Connie Willis, Larry Niven, Lois McMaster Bujold, Robert Silverberg
Readings from the Slush Pile: Unsolicited manuscripts are a fact of publishing life. Come hear excerpts from some of the worst.
Living with a Famous Writer
The Best Convention Panel Ever: Survey says: “If you put these people on a panel, you don't need to do anything else.” Come see if they were right. ~ Connie Willis, Joe Haldeman, Mike Resnick
