Yoooo #ShamelessSelfPromotion time, I’m at #Boskone with a bunch of cool dragon and Star Trek and mushroom and ttrpg and other cool bags. Swing by and check out the vendor room on the lower level - there’s loads of other great vendors with everything from chocolate to jewelry to (of course) many many books. I’ll be here until 6p today and 3p tomorrow - hope to see you!

Idea: I'm aiming to run a #bostodon meetup april 19th, tailing onto the start of the #Swapfest season.
Do folks want to have a Boston #Mastodon meetup before that? Anything Big and hella nerdy going on that we could tack on to?
Like, #Boskone (SF con @ #seaport) this weekend or something. #PAXEast is in late March, maybe?

My last #Boskone panel, *Fantasy Beyond Swords and Sorcery*, is this morning at 10am. After that, I'll hang out at the SFWA table for another hour or two, then pack up the table and drive home. It's been a good Con.

At Boskone today, satirist Jasper Fforde discusses his boyhood reading; although I have not the pleasure of understanding how he might arrive at this most distressing conclusion:
"We were more a Bronte family than an Austen one ... I always thought the Austen girls were a bit drippy."

At Boskone today, Jasper Fforde discusses how his first published novel, The Eyre Affair (2001)—a tricky, playful alternate-universe fantasy starring a detective who hunts a terrorist through the world of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre—accomplished the unlikely feat of rocketing a debut book by an unknown author straight onto the bestseller lists:
"This was before social media … The people who really pushed it were librarians. And English teachers."

In his interview at Boston's primo SF convention Boskone today, our Guest of Honor — fine British satirist/fantasist/metafictionist Jasper Fforde — discusses his lapidary writing method, which features wave after wave of rewriting:
"It's like time travel ... you go back to the beginning and you change everything."
