SFX was in Chester for Contemplation, this year’s Easter convention

Were you one of the people in the audience on Friday evening at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Chester, when Paul Cornell and I chatted about the current state of SF and how SFX magazine handles it? If you were – thanks for coming; I hope that you enjoyed it and that we answered some of your questions. If not, well, perhaps you were elsewhere in Chester, enjoying the varied delights of the convention .

It was a good weekend for us to check in with some of our literary chums: Paul of course, the lads from Solaris, the Gollancz gang, Deborah J Miller, John Jarrold, Geoff Ryman, Liz Williams and many others. Thanks to everybody who took time out of their hectic weekend to say hello in the bar. Panels this year included "Continuity of Identity", on the subject of copying/uploading/transferring personal identity, "Universal Donor", a talk about how SF bleeds into other genres like the techno thriller or historical novel, and many more.
