Here's what I'm doing, starting 10AM on Saturday morning and running through the afternoon:
Phantom Maids and Ghostly Avengers - Ghost stories are becoming popular once again but they never really go out of style. What makes for a good ghost story? Have they changed over time? What will they look like in the future?

Good Things in Small Packages - Small and medium press publishing for sf/f/h writers and readers - what's out there? What are the differences between presses that do POD, ebooks and small print runs? What's in it for writers? for readers?

Reading Outside the SF/F Mainstream - Small press, feminist, Carl Brandon Society winners, LGBT spec fic, and the list goes on. What's worth checking out? Are awards a good criterion? Bring your recommendations!
