Roles to Play

[klward]

It is official : David and myself are Local Guests of Honour at the inaugural Gencon Australia. Along with such luminaries as Stephen Dedman and Marianne de Pierres, we shall be giving readings, dispensing advice and generally filling out panels on either side of the Overseas Guests of Honour whom everyone has actually come to see. Still, they're paying our expenses, there's a LARP stream, and I actually do want to meet Tracy and Laura Hickman. All details (including ours) can be found here.

This is vindication, isn't it? I mean, of all those times I was told to stop wasting my time on stupid games. For all the times I told myself to stop wasting time on stupid games. For the incident with the black lycra body-stocking and the blood & bone fertilizer, ahem. What's something new I can say about writing horror?

It's an emotion, you know.

Have a great trip. We are off to Tasmania tomorrow, to offer sacrifices to Iain's ancestral gods, and to track down my favourite cannibal bushranger (http://www.nedkellysworld.com.au/bushrangers/pierce_a.htm). Also to shop at the markets, celebrate Aunt Mary's 80th birthday and generally have a good time.

We need to discuss cemetery hopping some time, among other things. Also when should we have the next games day. June is rather busy, but July might be okay.

It's a tale they won't believe!
