AMAZING STORIES @ BOSKONE 51
Understanding Fan Culture
Friday 20:00 – 20:50
What is fandom? If you consider yourself part of it, how would you describe it? Is there anything about it that makes it particularly appealing? How has it changed? And what do you think people from outside the community (especially those trying to break in) most need to know about it? How can we better understand what it means to be a fan in the 21st century and beyond?
Erin Underwood (M) , Bill Roper, Steve Davidson, Patrick Nielsen Hayden, Brianna Spacekat Wu
Amazing Stories Meeting
Saturday 09:00 – 09:50
Amazing Stories Magazine holds a meeting for its bloggers and community members.
Steve Davidson (and YOU)
Gateway Drugs: The Stories That Turn People Into Fans
Saturday 11:00 – 11:50
Panelists discuss the works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror that captured their imaginations and opened the floodgates to fandom. What stories hooked them? What was it about these works that made them want more? What newer tales might have that power to intoxicate?
Joe Siclari (M), Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Jo Walton, Steve Davidson, Ellen Asher
Ezines, Fanzines, and Blogs, Oh My!
Sunday 11:00 – 11:50
Fanzines, ezines, and blogs come and go, and return again in new and different forms. What is it about fanzines that gives them such resiliency when so many readerships remain in perpetual flux? What are the advantages of these forms? What do their readers — and writers — get out of each?
Steve Davidson (M), E. C. Ambrose, Steve Miller, Joe Siclari, Mallory O’Meara

Boston Star Trek Convention 2014

Hynes Convention Center
900 Boylston Street, Boston, MA (map)
Creation Entertainment’s Official STAR TREK Convention come back to Boston with an impressive roster of scheduled guests. Scott Bakula, Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks, Terry Farrell, Robert Beltran, Tim Russ, and more! It should be a fun weekend!
Gold Weekend passes are on sale now for $210. This gets you autographs from all those listed above, plus reserved seating. Additional ticket options (Silver, general weekend admission, and single day) will be offered as they get closer to the event. I’ll post here when that happens. Photo ops cost extra. I am cautiously optimistic that this will be a fun event. I hope you’ll join us!
