Diana Wynne Jones conference - aftermath

[steepholm]

I'm just back from a conference trip to Wales with lady_schrapnell, where we both had a good time and met friends new and old - and I will write it up as and when I've got my breath back. However, I'm one conference behind! Suffice it to say that the Diana Wynne Jones do was, by all accounts, a success. I think it's been pretty much chewed over on the net, so I'm going to chicken out and just give a list of other people's write-ups. If I've missed yours out, feel free to add it in a comment.

I also have photos of most people who were there, and I expect I'll be putting them up on Flickr at some point, in anonymous form. Let me know if you'd rather I didn't include yours.

Ooh, thank you!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

And congratulations on what, by all accounts, was a terrific conference :-)

Only had a look at the Guardian one still, but what a completely unnecessary snide put-down of the paper she didn't like. Anyone with a bit of empathy copped on to its being inexperience-caused nerves.

Yes, I don't think empathy was her strong suit.

Thanks

Thank you again for your splendid organization of the conference, and thank you also for collecting the links. Since I don't know most participants' blog names I wouldn't have found them otherwise.

See you again, I hope! Cheers, Helgard

No problem. I wish we'd got to talk more at the event, but it was (as you know) a little hectic at times! By the way, you may like to know that I have added a 'souvenir' page to the conference web site, including photographs. I will also be adding to this blog list there, as and when I become aware of new reports. You can find it here.

I hadn't seen that. Looks great!
