Saturday 12 pm Panel Room 1 (Sunflower – Main Programming)
The Geography of the Mind: The World Building Panel
Hosted by Paul Black, Linda Donahue, Lee Killough, Katherine Eliska Kimbriel and Martha Wells
Industry pros discuss the task of building your own world. How do you start? How much is too much? What makes a new world exciting anyway?
Saturday 1 pm Panel Room 3 (Mesquite)
Remaking the Myths: Ancient Tales in Modern Works
Hosted by Lillian Stewart Carl, Katherine Eliska Kimbriel, Thomas W. Knowles, Nina Romberg and Mel White.
Ancient mythology has served as the inspiration for countless works of fiction. How do writers still use that material? How can this venerable tradition be kept current and fresh? What has been done to death and what would you love to see attempted at last?
Saturday 4 pm Panel Room 4 (Pecan)
What Could Have Been but Never Was: Writing Alternate History
Hosted by Chris Donahue, Lillian Stewart Carl, Katherine Eliska Kimbriel, Carole Nelson Douglas, and Thomas W. Knowles.
Industry pros discuss the genre of alternate history fiction. How wild can you get and still keep the readers interest? What are the most common mistakes often seen in this genre? And could Elvis and a time machine really have affected the outcome of the Civil War? These are only some of the questions that could have been asked at this panel.
Saturday 10 pm Panel Room 4 (Pecan)
Making Better Dirty Books: Pornography vs. Erotica
Hosted by Melanie Fletcher, Linda Donahue, Katherine Eliska Kimbriel, Julia S. Mandala, and whoever else cares to show up.
Six years. Six panels. Six chances to answer the burning question of our age: what is the difference between the elevated literary form of erotica and the base, vile, exploitative trash that is porn? Six failures. This year is year number seven. This year will be different. This year the discussion will be calm, sublime, rational and well-behaved. Yeah, right. Adults only.
Sunday 12 pm Reading Room (Live Oak)
The author will be reading from one or two novels in progress.
