For the first time ever, I am On A Panel.

Ancient Mythology in Modern Fantasy and Science Fiction


How do you blend ancient myths into a novel while still keeping the book fresh and modern? What are some examples of authors who do this successfully? Which myths have been overdone or underexplored? What is important to leave out to keep from bogging down the story? What should you put in to flesh things out?

Yes, I have that one checked off as something I definitely was interested in attending.

Luckily I'll have my husband along to get me awake in time.

Congrats! I have now met two panel members. This is JoSelle, here. Just got a Google alert for my name (I know, I know :x) with a link to you. I can't wait to meet you!

*giggle* Yeah, I put the google alert on in the first place to find reviews of my books.

Oh, hey. I know your work! We've appeared in Helix together, albeit in different sections.

That sounds like a very interesting discussion and this topic would be useful to me right now while working on my YA novel. I hope someone will post notes for those who can't attend (like me). :o(

Have fun at the conference!

Congrats, Haut! This is so exciting for you. One of our other Associates, Warrier of Worry, is going to be on a WisCon panel also. Which one will be obvious, as the panel's title includes "CJC" & "Chanur".

Congrats again, & we'll be looking forward to a full report!

I've been squeeing ever since I got the email. It's kind of scary, too....but.

I saw Warrior of Worry's post! I'm going to have to be there! :)
