#ScribesAndMakers 2502.27. Have you ever written to a writer/creator to tell them you liked their work? Did they respond?

Yes. But not someone trad published, though I should have. With better websites and better communication channels than a paper letter, I will in the future. There are some very talented fan fiction authors out there and, yes, I've commented on their stories, some of which if rewritten in an original universe are better than a lot of things I've read in paperback published by the big houses. One excellent gender fiction SF novel about gender transformation, written by an author who goes by StarScribe, I nominated for the Otherwise (James Tiptree Jr.) Award. Alas, fan fiction is not often taken seriously, thought that specific story and other fantasy by that author ought be. And yes, the author responded.

In The Before Times, I'd trek to Madison, Wisconsin, USA, to be delighted by writers, frolicked by fandom, + be eaten alive by mosquitoes.

In 2023, I am looking forward to virtually attending WisCon wisconblog-feed.dreamwidth.org, and making my first virtual visit to FiyahCon, theconvention.fiyahlitmag.com/
