My World Fantasy Con Schedule (updated)
Only two panels, so there’ll be heaps of time to hang out in the bar. Woo hoo!
Thursday 2:00-3:00PM
Gender-Bending Fantasy (Capitol A)
Inhabitants of fantastic worlds typically disregard the laws of physics, and frequently re-cast societal norms to fit an un-earthly reality. This panel will discuss recent fantasy fiction that challenges assumptions of sex and gender.
Terry A. Garey, Ellen Klages, Justine Larbalestier(M), Diane Martin, Jill Roberts
Friday 12:00-1:00PM
Images of Women in Fantasy Literature (Capitol A)
The home of WisCon, Madison is the center for feminism in fantasy and science fiction. We will discuss the roles women have had in fantasy since Tolkien. Fantasy has become populated with women, finally, but are they realistic women who provide good role models? Can modern feminist ideals be successfully inserted into a medieval story? What are the best examples of a feminist character in fantasy?
Kate Elliott, Anne Harris, Graham Joyce, Justine Larbalestier, Jane Lindskold
Update: Turns out that Megan McCarron’s WFC schedule is way cooler than mine. I’m so jealous! (Except for the Clarion one. Never went to Clarion, me.)

Hey. Those panels are for EVERYONE. The Clarion one can be put to rest pretty quickly.

Meghan: Yeah, but you were the cool person who thought of them. Beyond cool. Ubercool. Muchocoolo.

Could you blog about it if there’s anything interesting at the gender-bending panel? I’ll pay you $5 to blog about your panels. (I’d offer more, but I just gave the rest of my tiny income to Strange Horizons. But you can totally have my last $5!)
You could blog about Meghan’s panels, too, those sound like they’ll be pretty interesting…

Sadly, Jackie M, I am not, after all, going to World Fantasy. Scott is sick and I’m being a dutiful wife and mopping his brow.
Maybe we could pool our money and offer it to someone who’s actually there? Though, really, dirty bloggers like me don’t deserve your money, keep it for yourself!

Jackie M. Says:
oh no! Sorry to hear that! I hope he feels better soon.
There’s some serious crud going around… both of my advisors have been juggling sick family duties the last week…
