WorldCon Vignette

[przed]

just_ann_now will appreciate this.

My most exciting WorldCon thing today was hearing Ellen Kushner read a brand new Riverside story with Alec and Richard. (More specifically, the story of how Alec became the Duke Tremontaine.) It was funny and lovely and I can't wait for it to be published. Which will be next year, but it will be worth the wait.

Afterward, I fangirled Ms. Kushner--no one else was talking to her! I couldn't help myself--and hopefully managed to maintain a sane and respectful aspect. But I couldn't get that close and not tell her how much her novels have meant to me.

That is exciting news! I love Alec and Richard. :-) If you do manage to get the title, please let us know!

I'm green with envy. What an experience. Lucky girl.

No luck getting the title at the con. I'm planning on doing a little Googling to see if I can turn it up.

As for meeting Ms. Kushner, it was a nice experience. She's funny and gracious and wasn't obviously trying to run for the exit when I told her how much I enjoyed her writing.

Here we go! The anthology will be called Naked City: New Tales of Urban Fantasy , edited by Ellen Datlow. Here's EK's original post (http://ellen-kushner.livejournal.com/235054.html) about it.

That looks to be one kickass anthology.
