Traveling to Boskone next month!
I was neglectful at posting my ConFusion schedule – ConFusion was amazing as usual, by the way – but I wanted to make sure I listed my Boskone schedule for next month. If you’re going to be there, come say hi!
Saturday:
- 12pm: Reading: Mur Lafferty
Independence (Westin)
- 2pm: Kaffeeklatsch: Mur Lafferty
Galleria – Kaffeeklatsch 1 (Westin)
- 5pm: Building Worlds Within LitRPG and Games
Marina 3 (Westin) :: Literature, litRPG, and games all share a common worldbuilding process, but at what point do those processes diverge? How do the specific genres drive the narrative, which in turn drives the worldbuilding template for these different types of stories? What key elements distinguish litRPG and gaming fiction from their speculative fiction peers?
Auston Habershaw (M), Christopher Irvin, Mur Lafferty, M. C. DeMarco, Erin Roberts
- 8pm: Game to Fiction/Fiction to Game
Burroughs (Westin) :: Game designers have to come up with an interesting world and compelling story in much the same way as authors who write fiction. So, what does it take to adapt a game to fiction or fiction to game? What new opportunities does the process create? What obstacles need to be overcome?
Gregory Wilson, Dan Moren (M), Joshua Bilmes (JABberwocky Literary Agency), Auston Habershaw, Mur Lafferty
- 9pm: Star Wars and the Rebel Legacy
Burroughs (Westin) :: Skywalker has risen, and from one end of the galaxy to the other, the rebels have been fighting against the Empire for years. Rebellion is often a part of a good science fiction or fantasy story, but what makes a good rebellion? Does the Star Wars universe tackle the nuances of rebellion? Do the rebels ring true? How might the Rebellion grow and change, and even evolve, in time?
Mur Lafferty (M), Martha Wells, Pete Hollmer, Gregory Wilson
Sunday:
- 10am: Autographing: Christine Taylor-Butler, Mur Lafferty, Christopher Paniccia, Darrell Schweitzer
Galleria – Autographing (Westin)
