Hello! I am speaking at Rustycon!
| Fri Jan 13 3:00:pm | Seattle 1 | Panelists panel |
| “Gibbitt” Rhys-Jones Ari Goldstein Gene Armstrong Raven Oak | What do I do on a panel? What’s a moderator, and how do I do that??? Come to the Panelists’ panel, and hear from experienced panelist who won’t steer you wrong! | |
| Sat Jan 14 5:00:pm | Everett | The LGBTQ Community in the fandom. |

| Sat Jan 14 6:00:pm | Renton | Understanding the SF Alternative communities |
| “Gibbitt” Rhys-Jones Mike Birch Richard Gilmore Sheree Robinson | What do the group marriage NEST in Stranger in a Strange Land, the Multi Generational Line Marriage in Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Lazarus Long’s family in Time Enough for Love, all have in common? Relationships that are not just one man and one woman – that’s what! Come sit down in this round table environment and talk about the different lifestyles that interest you. | |
| Sun Jan 15 1:00:pm | Tacoma | Working with an editor |
| “Gibbitt” Rhys-Jones Tod McCoy William (Morrigan) Lehman | Whether you are sending stories down what feels like a black hole of unappreciative markets, or struggling with making changes to the novel you’ve been living with night and day for years, writers don’t always know what to make of editors. Editors, at their best, are partners with writers, not adversaries — even though it can sometimes feel that way. Come hear what editors think their job is and what they can do for you. | |

| “Gibbitt” Rhys-Jones Lee Fuller Michael J. Kenmir | What were your favorite parts of this years convention? What can we improve upon? Please come and let us know! | |
That’s it. That’s all I’m scheduled!
I have learned that if you’re Head of ANYTHING on a convention… don’t give yourself too many panels. I am the Head of Programming for Rustycon, and after 3 conventions, I have learned.
Rustycon (www.rustycon.com) is a non-profit science fiction/fantasy convention that is by the fans and their love of all things science fiction and fantasy, FOR the fans of the same.
This year’s Guests of Honor are Robin Hobb, Bill Doran, and Michaela Eaves. We have some SPECTATULAR Pros and panelists, including a last minute one for gamers, Bruce Cordell. A week ago, he said he’d like to come, but only for Saturday!
Please check it out!
