There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that I will not be at Bristolcon this weekend. I’m currently recovering from covid and said recovery is going annoyingly slowly, so with considerable regret I’ve decided to rest up for this weekend, in preparation for ArmadaCon next weekend. The good news is that the […]

Conventions are like buses…
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 14 October 2024 0
After a year in which I’ve not made it to any SF conventions (not even Worldcon, alas), at the end of this month I have two in a row: Bristolcon in, uh, Bristol, which is now a two-day convention and Armadacon, in Plymouth, who have been kind enough to invite me along as a Guest […]
ArmadaCon Guest of Honour
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 13 December 2023 0
I’m pleased to announce that I will be a Guest of Honour at next year’s ArmadaCon, held on the 2nd and 3rd of November at the Future Inns hotel in Plymouth. I’ve attended ArmadaCon before and it’s a casual convention, with a bit of a South West slant (though anyone from anywhere is of course […]
My BristolCon schedule
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 18 October 2023 0
Although I don’t get to many conventions these days I always enjoy Bristolcon. It’s ‘small but perfectly formed’ and also not too far to travel. I’m on two panels this Saturday: 11am – The Ethics of a Fictional War. Do authors have a responsibility to honour the horrors of war, or is a fictional war […]
Eastercon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 17 April 2023 0
After some years absence – for reasons both obvious and not – I was glad to make it to Eastercon this year, even if it was just for the one day. I was naughty, and ‘bar-conned’ it, though I may have snuck into the con itself for an hour or so, in order to spend […]
FantasyCon and BristolCon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 14 October 2018 0
Conventions are like buses. Nothing for months then – hey! – two in a row. I’m at both FantasyCon and BristolCon this year, though quite lightly programmed. At FantasyCon, on Saturday 20th October I’ll be doing a reading and appearing on a panel on writing for video-games, at 5pm and 7pm respectively (probably – exact […]
Picocon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 4 January 2017 0
Happy New Year all. It’s that time of year when we try and find stuff to look forward to, perhaps more than ever this year, and personally I’m looking forward to Saturday 18th February, that being when Picocon will be held at Imperial College, London. I like this casual little student con and this year […]
BristolCon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 24 October 2016 0
It’s that time of year again, when I get to attend one of my favourite conventions. BristolCon is on next Saturday in, well, Bristol. My own small part in it is as follows: 11am – Guest of Honour Interview. No, they haven’t asked me to be GoH again, but one of this year’s GoHs, Ken […]
My Satellite 5 schedule
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 22 May 2016 0
Here’s what I’ll be up to next weekend in Glasgow: Saturday 10:30am – Opening Ceremony, during which I’m going to attempt something I’ve never done before. If you want to find out what, you’ll have to come along. Saturday 11am – Kaffeklatch; or rather, in my case Teaklatch. Saturday 3:30pm – Guest of Honour slot; […]
Satellite 5 – not long now!
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 18 May 2016 0
In just over a week I’ll be heading up to Glasgow to be the author guest of honour at Satellite 5. I’m really looking forward to it (except the bit where I have to get up at sparrow-fart to catch the plane). If you’re anywhere in the vicinity, do join me: as well as my […]
