Great review, Sharon.

I hope those Facebook Scrabble friends you met accepted their defeat gracefully?

By the way – your go.

Sharon,

That was a comprehensive and fun overview of the event! There was so much going on that it really did require Calvin’s “Triplicator” to see it all! One of my favorites was the art show, where I not only got to chat with Peter Crowther and his wife, Nicky, but I got to see such amazing works of art it made the mind boggle!

The people who work in the horror/dark fiction genres are some of the most embracing and interesting people one can meet. I look forward to many more chats and reads!

@Johnny You’re definitely going next year then? Am holding on for a while before committing to it financially.

@Mark You’re welcome, Bossman.

@John Guilty! That was me. I was dashing about trying to get shots of as many panels and GoH interviews as possible. I was mortified when Ingrid collared me leaving!

@Maura Femme Fatales was far and away one of the big hits of the Con. Everyone was raving about it afterward. Am planning on writing a long piece about a number of the issues raised from it sometime in the near future. Do you know if there’s definitely going to be a similar panel at alt.fiction?

@Adele Thanks, lovely lady.

@Shaun You too, groovy dude. Next time we meet, we shall go grab a beverage. No more loitering round the loos, weirdo.

Hey, Sharon! Chuffed to have finally met you face-to-face! Shame it had to be outside the basement toilets, but needs must…

Keep smiling, mucka!

Shaun xx

Great summary of the convention Sharon, and I’m delighted you enjoyed the Femmes Fatales panel.

Aha! So YOU’RE the lady who dashed out during my interview with Ingrid!

That’s a fine write-up Sharon and yes – that video clip was shamefully embarrassing

Aww, thank you Sharon, it was an absolute pleasure to get to talk to you too.

Excellent post here and I think you pretty much got all the main topics covered!
