Back!

Have returned from swancon. Had an awesome time. Panels all went well (though Online SFF panel was woefully underattended thanks to being in competition with 4 really awesome things, ah well) Photos up when Cam gets around to it.

*too overwhelmed with posts and sleepiness to make many actual replies, gives general positive vibes to people on flist having bad times with breakups/pets etc*

I did like this article on academics feeling like frauds anxiolytic linked to. Man, I still feel like that. Ties in interestingly with a Gynacon panel I went to about the way female scientists are treated, it's interesting that the effect was first noticed in women but is equally present in both genders.

I'm sorry about the cancellation of The Anxious Penguin Hour. I hope you found out at least a little in advance and that it didn't cause you any inconvenience. I had a couple of days there where I wasn't quite in responsible organisational mode.

Next year perhaps.

Oh, yes, I heard about it in plenty of time, and I totally understand. I mean, car accident!

I was actually glad the panel was cancelled (though obviously not glad of the reason why) since at that point I had lost my voice and was pondering having to tell you I might not be able to do it.
