Nine Worlds Geekfest (New UK Con)

On a happier note..

Nine Worlds Geekfest is a new con. And it looks awesome. It's run by (IIRC and not limited to) the guy who does the Lodon film festival. And a few people decided, hey. Lots of countries have really BIG SFF cons. We need one. It began n a kickstarter that was massively oversubscribed.

And now we have:

A SF and Fantasy film festival
A book track (series of events)
Tracks on board gaming, video gaming, creative writing, Geek feminism, Star Trek, Steampunk, Discworld, Tolkien, Dr Who, Queer fandom...

You should come if you can. You really, really should

Also Chris Barrie will be in attendance, and when the world ends you'll know it's because we caused a paradox by being in the same place at the same time, resetting the universe to factory conditions

I shall keep a look out for you!

Just to note that there will be a free writers workshop at this con (as Waylander posted elsewhere and upthread), where you can get your work critted by a London based writers group (which includes, but is not limited to myself and Waylander, Shara and Broadswordbabe, though I'm not 100% on who's included in critting as yet! I will be though)



And it's not much more than/about the same cost as most other cons, only looking to be a fair bit bigger

They have said they'll open up day tickets nearer the time (provided they aren't all booked up -- there's a limit to how many people the site can hold!) which should be substantially cheaper.

Oh, I'm sure she will. She might even buy you a pint.
