Science Fiction Film & Television Interview

If you’d like some insights into my work-in-progress, now’s your chance. This month’s Science Fiction Film & Television journal is a special issue on Science Fiction and Gaming. Editors Darshana Jayemanne and Cameron Kunzelman were kind enough to interview me on ‘Retellings and Reversions’, where we discuss representing gaming in novels and the issues around remakes such as Final Fantasy VII: Remake (on that note, this interview and this blog do contain spoilers).

Shoreline of Infinity #23

I don’t know about you, but I’m still buzzing from this weekend’s Cymera Festival. Thanks ever so much to everyone who joined me, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Cassandra Khaw for ‘Writing Multitudes’ on Saturday. And if you missed it and didn’t get a weekend pass, ticket holders can now grab an Access Pass that will get you in to the Archive, where you can hear Adrian and Cass chat about sensory engagement, queerness, and fascist-eating dinosaurs.

Cymera and the Fantasy Summer School*

What an amazing time Flights of Foundry was! Fun panels with amazing creative minds, and the opportunity to share and discuss with a vibrant community across the world. I hope you had a grand time too if you went. But now the time has come to talk of other things**. Specifically June, and how to sign up for the splendid things I’m doing then.

*Updated* Flights of Foundry

What a naughty scatterbrain I am! In between dealing with some health issues over the last few weeks, I completely forgot to let you know where you could find me at Flights of Foundry. My first ever US convention, too!

For some reason, I’m down under three separate profiles, so who knows what’s happened there. However, here are the two items you can find me on – and with line-ups like these, you’d really be doing yourself a favour by tuning in.

Queering Games, Saturday 17:00 UTC
https://sched.co/iENx
Dave Ring [M], Orion D Black, Dominique Dickey Sharang Biswas, Bendi Barrett (thank you to Bendi and Sharang for joining us last minute!) and me talk about queerness and queering video games and TTRPGs.

Branching Into Multiple Media, Sunday 19:00 UTC
https://sched.co/iEIu
Brandon O’Brien, Claire Rousseau, RJ Theodore [M], Michael Underwood and me explore ways to be creative across multiple media and forms.

Hope to see you at one or both!

ICFA, Flights of Foundry and more?

Easter is a-coming and the eggs are getting fat. So, I thought I’d let you know where you can find me over the next few weeks.
