Thread: FantasyCon 2009

  1. #1

    Default FantasyCon 2009

    Just got back from FantasyCon in Nottingham--and it was absolutely brilliant!

    1st ever Con, and I attended Morrigan Books' launch and signing for both Grants Pass and Dead Souls. Got to sit next to Ramsey Campbell (also in Dead Souls), and see how a professional does it! [MUST PRACTICE FAR BETTER SIGNATURE, in the hopes I get to do it again...]

    Great (read cheap) drink and even better people. I had a blast.

    Also, thanks for the pre-con advice, Nicholas: tried very hard not to be a fan geek and think I pulled it off [img]/emoticons/turn.gif[/img]

    Won't bore you with the whole list of BFS award winners. My personal favourites were Tim Lebbon for best novella [The Reach of Children]; the lovely Vinnie Chong for best artist, and Joseph D'Lacey for best newcomer [Meat]

    See the whole list at: www.fantasycon.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid =1

    Sounds like a terrific time! 1st con, eh? I'm actually not too far removed from newbie status myself. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. What's next?

    Think World Horror Con in Brighton next March--if I can scrape together the cash!
    What about you?

    Probably not much this year...funds being low and required elsewhere. But 2010 holds Odyssey Con and the biggie, Dragon*Con.
