Eastercon LX 2009 Panels
Filed under Events • 18-02-2009 •
If you’re attending Eastercon in Bradford this year, you’ll be able to see me particpating on stage in the following programme items:
1) Dr Horrible’s Internet Phenomenon – Fri, 20:00
Does the success of Dr Horrible herald a new era in television, of independent internet-distributed productions, or do you need to be Joss Whedon and have his money and fanbase to succeed?
Participants: Jane Killick (moderator), Dave Mansfield, David Devereux, Uri Aviv, Gareth L Powell2) The author and their work - Sat, 10:00
Can you still enjoy books by an author whose views you disagree with? Is this harder to manage in the age of blogs and increasing contact with authors?
Participants: Gareth L Powell (moderator), Anton Marx, Maura McHugh, Stephen Deas, Cory Doctorow3) SF as protest literature - Sat, 17:00
Science fiction has a long tradition of stories written as a reaction to current events, such as V for Vendetta, Czech and Russian SF, and the reaction to terrorist legislation. Can SF have any impact?
Participants: David Barnett (moderator), Ken MacLeod, David Lloyd, Gareth L Powell, Jon Courtenay Grimwood
Sadly I can’t make it this year, else I’d've been sure to attend and heckle at appropriate points!
Dear Gareth, what a coincidence! I followed the link from Outshine because I enjoyed your lovely twitterfic today. I’ll be on that panel with you at Eastercon. And Jetse bought a piece from me that will be twittered in April. Looking forward to meeting you in Bradford.
I’m splinister on twitter (don’t feel pressurised to follow, btw!).
I shall put on my finest heckling voice…
