So I can find it when I need it.
As | Schedule | Location | |
---|---|---|---|
The Outer Alliance Rainbows and Moonlight Party (scheduled) | participant | Fri, 8:45 pm–Sat, 3:00 am | Room 623 |
Hosts: Catherine Lundoff, Julia Rios | |||
The Outer Alliance invites everyone to celebrate the wide spectrum of QUILTBAG speculative fiction with arts and crafts (decorate a star or planet or moon with stickers, crayons, etc for our galaxy wall--and get a chance to win a QUILTBAG spec fic prize!), tasty snacks, and lots of excellent conversation. Catherine Lundoff will be launching her novel, Silver Moon at the party, and we may have other author projects launching then as well. | |||
Feminist/Outsider Cyberpunk (scheduled) | moderator | Sat, 2:30–3:45 pm | Senate B |
Moderator: Catherine Lundoff. Terry Garey, Rebecca Holden | |||
Cyberpunk has been declared dead almost as many times as punk rock, yet books and film depictions of dystopian, cyber-based futures with a growing underclass are still being published and produced each year. What accounts for the ongoing popularity of cyberpunk? Are we already in the cyberpunk future? Do women, queer writers, and writers of color portray that future differently from Gibson and other white men? Which cyberpunk classics are worth a re-read (Scott, Delany, Robson, Mixon.Mischa, etc.)? What new work should we be looking at? | |||
Outer Alliance: New Writings in LGBTQ SF/F/H (scheduled) | participant | Sat, 10:30–11:45 pm | Conference 2 |
Julie Andrews, Therese Arkenberg, Keffy R. M. Kehrli, Catherine Lundoff, Julia Rios about this item. | |||
We'll be reading from recent work featuring LGBTQ protagonists and themes. Outer Alliance is an organization created to combat homophobia in sf/f and provide greater visibility for positive portrayals of LGBTQ/Quiltbag-themed work. |
