Description:  Lots of people assert that SF and fantasy are really
part of one overarching field called the fantastic; but in this case,

As a not 12&under can I still say 'yay' for the manga panel? Sounds like fun!

*sigh*

Am seeing my favorite authors post WorldCon schedules and wishing I could attend. At some point, I will.

Is there a particular reason you're on the hiatus panel?

I'd say that Hikaru no Go is a great manga for the 10-12 set as well.

As for smaller kids, VIz is putting out the original Pokemon manga (with name changes; Ash is Red, for example), which Jamie likes me to read to him. There's also a new manga called Dinosaur Hour (also from Viz), which has little short episodes with dinosaurs talking to each other. One has three allosauruses standing on each other's shoulders so that they're as tall as the brachiosaurus they're stalking. It turns out badly for them. :) It makes Jamie laugh, and Liam doesn't mind sitting and listening too.

Oh, I am TOTALLY going to the panel on genre.

Did they not give you a kaffeeklatch, by the way? I'm in charge of them...

You have ZERO program items on Saturday?

And the author reading, what's that about? A round-robin thing? Or reading each other's work?

Oh that's awesome! Hopefully I'll see you there. :) -Karin
