Another con survived, and this time without "Hotel California."
ArmadilloCon is over, and I had a lovely time. I missed the waterfall in the lobby on Friday, but I was out for dinner and drinks with the Bat City Novelocracy at the time, so it wasn't as disappointing as it might have been. My reading went well, I gave away two ARCs of A Fantasy Medley 2, and my panels were smart, fun, and contained no slut-shaming at all*. The writing workshop also went smoothly. We even got to blindfold the workshop students and do terrible things to them.
And did I mention I have ARCs for A Fantasy Medley 2? I drew names out of a bowl at the reading, so I should probably use a slightly more sophisticated system of placing the next two. Suggestions?
* Sadly, I'm told that wasn't the case in other panels. Panels, I am disappoint.

Pff." I don't even particularly like much sex in the stories I read, but I do not like seeing it slagged on without any objection, either. And I have learned that if anyone on the panel brings up Twilight (to mock for sparkling and romance and pfff girls wanting boyfriends, so stupid!) it's a bad, bad sign.
