We’re very sorry to say Martha won’t make it to Armadillocon tomorrow. She fell this afternoon and broke her wrist. She feels very bad about this and is sorry to disappoint people—Troyce.

I almost forgot: your local area probably has a science fiction convention that is run by volunteers who are struggling with massive burnout. Step forward and get involved!

ArmadilloCon is NEXT WEEK in Austin and I will BE THERE! I'll be packing my best Thoughts About Cyberpunk and leaving them all in Austin in order to fit Nordicware Bundt pans in my suitcase on the way back
Friday, September 11 4pm In Defense of Tropes Cedar, 4pm - 4:55pm Tags: Writing, Editing & Publishing*, 📁 Panel Discussion Paz Pardo (moderator), Holly Lyn Walrath, Ryan Leslie, Greta Kelly, A.P. Hawkins Tropes are the often-derided workhorses of genre fiction, creating a common language between author and audience. Love or hate them, tropes are everywhere, waiting to jump out of a portal to another world or shove cursed jewelry into our hands and run off cackling into the night. This panel will be a discussion of common tropes in speculative fiction and how we can effectively use (and subvert) them in our own writing. 8pm The Legacy of Cyberpunk Hill Country B, 8pm - 8:55pm Tags: Speculative Fiction Literature*, 📁 Panel Discussion D.L. Young (moderator), Bruce Sterling, Rick Klaw, Paz Pardo, Rudy Rucker The cyberpunk anthology MIRRORSHADES came out 40 years ago, and we're now living in the near future that was being predicted in the 80s. (There was even a game called "Cyberpunk 2020"!) Even if the technology predictions didn't hit the mark, in many ways the cultural ones did. What does it mean to be creating cyberpunk fiction in the here and now, and what are we predicting for the future of the genre and ourselves? Saturday, September 12 12pm Autographing - B Dealer's Room Tags: Fandom*, 📁 Signing A. Lee Martinez, Amber Royer, Matthew Bey, Paz Pardo Autographing - 4:30pm Reading - Paz Pardo Pecan, 4:30pm - 4:55pm Tags: Readings*, 📁 Reading - Single Author Paz Pardo Reading - Paz Pardo 7pm The Craft of Genre Blending Oak, 7pm - 7:55pm Tags: Speculative Fiction Literature*, 📁 Panel Discussion Marguerite Reed (moderator), Darcie Little Badger, Paz Pardo, Micaiah Johnson, Paige E. Ewing, Josh Rountree Genre blending is all the rage, with authors combining elements of popular genres to create something that feels unique and fresh. But which genres blend well, and which don't? Is it possible to blur the lines of genre too much, so that the resulting work becomes unintelligible to readers? This panel will be a discussion of the dos and don'ts of genre blending. Sunday, September 13 11:30am Endings: Reader Expectation vs Reader Desire Oak, 11:30am - 12:25pm Tags: Writing, Editing & Publishing*, 📁 Panel Discussion Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam (moderator), Marshall Ryan Maresca, Rowenna Miller, Marina Lostetter, Paz Pardo, Kristina Gruell There's an interplay with endings and the relationship the book has built with the reader. What has the reader been led to expect and anticipate, and are those expectations rewarded. But at the same time, are those expectations based on what the story is actually doing, or are they built from desires for a "happy" ending that may not reflect the story's intentions. 2pm Are We Full-On Cyberpunk Yet? Hill Country B, 2pm - 2:55pm Tags: Science & Technology*, 📁 Panel Discussion Sanford Allen (moderator), Paz Pardo, Lauren C. Teffeau, Rudy Rucker, D.L. Young, Paige E. Ewing The specter of A.I. and the rise of the robots, megacorporations...all that's missing is a chromed arm. How dystopian is the real world, compared to the classic cyberpunk texts? Did Gibson, Sterling, and Rucker get it right, or were they hopelessly pessimistic? Photo of a NordicWare braided-rope bundt cake with the pan in the background

ArmadilloCon was awesome, every panel was great, every person was beautiful, and I got to shake the hand of a gnome
Me shaking the hand of a gnome in a party hat on the delightfully inexplicable beach/snow/tiki scene set up at the entrance to the hotel where ArmadilloCon took place.

Well, I know what *I'm* making this weekend.
"Empanadasaurus" and it's an empanada being formed into the shape of a dinosaur, with five examples shown of intermediate steps in the process.
