lagilmanIn case anyone reading here will be at Boskone this weekend in Boston, MA...
Friday 8:00pm Pictionary
Myself, Keith DeCandido and Craig Shaw Gardner, none of whom can draw worth a damn. SFnal themes, of course. Alcohol WILL be involved, on my part at least.
Saturday 2:00pm Shadows Over Baker Street: SF&F Tie-ins to Mysteries
Pretty obvious, there. Huge crossover -- why? And why do so many SF writers also write mysteries, and vice versa? (Walter Mosely, Dana Stabenow, Peter Heck, Kristine Rusch, etc)
Saturday 4:00pm Kaffeklatsch
Your chance to ask me all those questions you never had the nerve to in a larger setting. Also to see my pretty!shiny!bright! cover for Staying Dead up close and personal.
Saturday 5:00pm Tall Dark and Handsomoid: the Rise of Romance SF
I can't promise anything, but I suspect the term "interstellar smut" will be used at least once.
Sunday 1:00pm Writing Your SECOND Novel
Not that I know anything at all about this topic, oh dear me no...

Date: 2004-02-07 07:36 am (UTC)Steve Brust has a theory about that, which, unless I'm misrepreneting him enormously, has something to do with both mysteries and SFF using the extrapolative/intuitive/deductive functions of the brain, and thus generating a similar sort of pleasure in the reader.
A lot of SFF fans who read the more traditional sorts of IQF (Interminable Quest Fantasy) also seem to be category romance readers, and I expect there's a similar pelasure to be had in those two categories of things as well--expectation fulfilled and all that.
