I attended one of the SciFi Weekender events last year, where genre fans gather for talks, signings, movie screenings, cosplay, and a whole lot more. It was lots of fun, and hopefully I'll get back to another one at some point. The next event is being staged at the end of this month, around the Halloween weekend. It's completely sold out, so I'm not posting to give it a boost, as it clearly doesn't need one. But at this event, for the first time since they started, they're having an awards ceremony, where attendees get to vote on their some of their SFW favourites... and look who gets a nod in the Author category! :-)
