The Post-MarCon… er… Post

So, on the other side of MarCon… First of all, this was my first ever SF convention, and I’ve discovered that I’m not quite as big a geek as I thought. I’m up there, don’t get me wrong, but… wow. :P

Our panel was rather a big flop, mainly, I think, because we didn’t get a description of our topic into the program book, so it just had the group’s name. We had five people show up, three of whom were together and left about fifteen minutes in, and one who both came late and left early. I think number five looks like a keeper, though, so it certainly wasn’t a waste as I think we may well have a new CMC member! And it’s another guy, so Chris & Matthew are quite happy about it.

We weren’t exactly happy with our book sales, but we’re already looking at ways to better promote and hopefully get that number up next year and/or at any other cons we may do in the future. I did hand out Title Goes Here: cards and fliers to a few writers, though, so that might generate some magazine submissions. :)

Oh, and on a just-me-not-CMC note, I got to talk to Alayna Williams for the first time since the NaNo WriMo kickoff last October, and she gave me a copy of her new book, Dark Oracle! I love knowing famous people! :P

So that’s my MarCon report. Short and sweet, I know, but there it is.
