Good morning all! The stars seem to be aligning! It's the First of August, a mere thirty days away from Chicon7, the 70th World Science Fiction Convention. It's also "Be Awesome Wednesday," a little thing I do on my Facebook and twitter feeds. AND, and this is a pretty big AND, I also received my preliminary World Con program schedule.
With all that, it's time to kick off the Genre Underground's Road to WorldCon event. We'll talking about the World Science Fiction Convention and Speculative Fiction Fandom. No other genre of literature has such a rich, warm, dedicated, and welcoming community of fans as Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Many of today's top speculative fiction writers have risen from the ranks of speculative fiction fans. (Yeah, I would be one.)
As a core part of the Genre Underground is the celebration of readers of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, we will be gearing up for the year's biggest event where writers, publishers, and most importantly, fans get together and celebrate the literature that we love so much.
