Hey everyone, sorry for the delayed post, this was supposed to go up yesterday. Here is my schedule for Denver’s new Steampunk convention!
Merging Steampunk and Fantasy | |

Writing Steampunk | |
Mesa Verde B | |
Sat Mar 3 9:00:am – 9:50:am | |
The Steampunk genre doesn’t have well defined edges or boundaries. How do you write a Steampunk aka sci-fi, fantasy, punk, futuristic, Victorian story? | |

Discussing Combat in Fiction | |
Wind Star A | |
Sat Mar 3 10:00:am – 10:50:am | |
The good, the bad, and the ugly scenes of combat and action including the differences between games, movies, and literature. Also a discussion of the morality and emotional impact both upon the audience and the characters involved. | |

Ow, My Spleen! | |
Wind Star B | |
Sat Mar 3 2:00:pm – 2:50:pm | |
All too often in a book or movie, the characters undergo severe physical trauma, only for them to undertake heroic acts in the following scenes. How do you write realistic fiction where your characters are injured and face the consequences yet still manage to allow them to do what you need? | |
