• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Did any Litopians attend Eastercon last weekend? What did you think?
 
I'm guessing from the title of the thread that you did and you weren't impressed? :)
I didn't go; even if I had the time, I don't think I would as I'm not sure whether attendance would improve either my writing or my chances of a publishing deal. Absent those two benefits a conference is just schmoozing and socializing (unless I'm missing something) , and I'm not good at either of them...
 
I didn't go either but quite a few of the SF/F community are regulars there. So I wondered if anyone here had been. I'm not sure if anyone here writes SF though.
