til i live close enough to worldcon, where the hugo award ceremony is held, that it wouldn't be impossible for me to get there
but what does one do at a scifi convention? "hello annalee newitz i have read uh, three, of your books? i liked them a lot. please sign my reader? ok bye"
there's a lot of authors attending whom i have enjoyed but, idk, staying home to read more of their words seems like time better spent than getting excited about proximate carcasses
@pho4cexa mostly people go there to go to panels, socialize with fellow nerds, or check out the dealers floor. There is some proximity to fame stuff (like signings) but i don’t think its the main point for like 90% of the people there
