#fof25 #FlightsOfFoundry

This is my #FlightsofFoundry schedule:

* Fri Sep 26, 2 PM CDT: I'll be moderating a panel on introducing new people to SFF.

* Fri Sep 26, 4 PM CDT: I'll be moderating a panel on speculative biology.

* Fri Sep 26, 6 PM CDT: I'll participate in a panel about Andor season 2.

* Sat Sep 27, 9 AM CDT: I'll participate in a meetup for writers who use English as a second language.

* Sun Sep 28, 4 PM CDT: I'll participate in a panel about AI in SFF.

So many of my writer friends are traveling the con circuit this summer. Though I'm teaching a bit and have a few local gigs, my con schedule has a lot more breathing room. >>> By design! <<<

I'm at #WriteHive2025 this weekend (online) and #Readercon34 next weekend (in person). August is #worldcon online (if no more blow ups!) and #FlightsOfFoundry in Sept.

At Flights of Foundry today? I'm moderating the "How to do a reading online" panel, which includes SFF poet Akua Lezli Hope, narrator Steve Lead, open mic veteran Vanessa MacLaren-Wray, and famously awesome author (and frequent Story Hour guest) Marie Brennan at 4:00 p.m. PDT. This discussion will NOT be recorded, so this is your chance! #FlightsofFoundry #FoF #fof2024 #AuthorReading #PanelDiscussion #SFF #SpeculativeFiction

Inspired by my last Flights of Foundry panel this year, I've thrown together a recommended reading list for graphic novels and comics. I mentioned a bunch of them during the panel, but I've added more here!

Die Registrierung für den diesjährigen #FlightsOfFoundry Con (Virtuell) ist offen. Er findet im September statt, vom 27-29, 2024. Ich kann es nur für alle empfehlen, die sich für's fiktionale Schreiben oder Game Writing interessieren. War jedesmal bisher super. https://flights-of-foundry.org/registration/

It's been quite the weekend. Made it through my panel and reading at FoF without a hitch, yay! I'm totally exhausted now. Had a terrible allergy attack during my reading where my eyes opened up like Niagara frickin' Falls, water literally pouring down my cheeks.

Still possibly the best reading I've ever done 😂
Now back to the regularly scheduled writing and community here!

#FlightsOfFoundry #WritingCommunity

OK. Day 3 of #FlightsOfFoundry starts 9 hours from now...for me...but it's ongoing right now, wherever you are.

At the top of the hour I’m talking about Intermediate Twine at the #FlightsOfFoundry online con. Arrays and data maps and how to tame your game’s scope! You can see it for the low price of free! https://flights-of-foundry.org/registration/

I'm speaking on interactive fiction in the morning, so it's a good time to link this again: https://andicbuchanan.itch.io/sidetrack

In Sidetrack you are a teenager who stumbles on an urban railway network that shouldn't be there. Do you catch a train and see where you get to? Of course you do.

Light exploratory interactive fiction, playable in the browser.
