It was great meeting so many fellow authors at Scotiacon over the weekend and I think our panels were well received. The Writers’ Social was in a different format to usual as it took place in the Breakout Cafe. This meant that we were in the middle of a corridor and everyone was siloed on…

I will be hosting two writing panels with my friend Huskyteer at this year’s Scotiacon. The first will be the Writers’ Social, which takes place in the Conference Cafe (Breakout Foyer) on Friday, 6 February, at 5:30pm. All writers and aspiring writers are invited to come along to this meet and greet where we chat…

With Anthrocon set to begin tomorrow, I’ve been asked to highlight some of the writing panels that are taking place there. Following on from appearances at MFF and FurSquared, Shiloh Skye will be back with his Furry Fiction Showcase. Taking place on Friday (4 July) at 2pm in DLCC 310-311, this will be the perfect…

It has been another busy weekend at ConFuzzled, with more writing panels than ever. Last year, we did seven, while this year there were 11 on the docket.

After a week of attacks from the right-wing press, there was a sense of trepidation going into Scotiacon, but the convention itself was a huge success. The attacks began the previous Sunday through a rather benign, albeit inaccurate, article in a Scottish tabloid newspaper. Things snowballed from there, with the British press getting increasingly extreme…

I have just visited MFF for the first time. I’ll write a full report on my Dreamwidth over the coming days. I found it incredibly stimulating to attend a large number of writing panels and meet some furry writers too. I don’t think I have ever been to a con with such a large writing…

ConFuzzled was a very busy con this year as I was asked to contribute to some of the writing panels. There has been a feeling that writing has been somewhat undervalued of late, but there has been a real renaissance in furry literature in the UK in particular. The launch of The Book Badgers is…

I have just come back from a nine-day stay in Georgia, where I attended Furry Weekend Atlanta. It was my first US con since 2017 and it was by far the biggest I have attended. The furry scene in the US is much grander and quite a bit different to elsewhere and it was good…
