back from UK LGBT Fiction Meet

[julesjones]

Back from the Meet, having had an excellent weekend in spite of being somewhat restricted in my activities. With any luck I'll have the energy to do a report later this week, but I got to catch up with Stevie Carroll for the second time this year, and also met several people I know online but have never met in meatspace before. Caught up on some industry gossip, got the chance to talk to a couple of publisher people about general stuff, had what is for me the very novel experience of having several people say, "You're Jules Jones! I loved your book XYZ." Also have anecdotal evidence that the Lord and Master covers are very much liked.

Thanks go to the committee, who are apparently mad enough to do it again next year, this time in Bristol.

In Bristol, Cheyl M might go if she's not otherwise occupied.

Thanks for that suggestion -- I should point it out to her once there are more details up.

The committee are all generally lovely, and generally more and more up for infiltrating other people's cons with me.

Which reminds me -- there's enough of an overlap with sf fandom that I should point out to them that Worldcon week would be a very bad week to hold next year's UK Meet.

Good point.
