Wonderful news and what a great essay!

Posted by Cor (Member # 4295) on :

Hey, thanks guys. If anyone is going to DragonCon this year, let me know. I'd love to get together if there is time. PYR publishing has me set up for three different events already, so I don't know what my schedule will be like, but I'm sure there will be some hours somewhere! [Smile]

Awesome work, and a great essay!

Do remember us little people when you're looking for movie extras, OK? [Wink]

I am soooooo jealous.

I mean, yeah, actually finishing your story...can make me jealous.

Having it win a major award...can make me a little jealous.

But getting to go to Dragon Con--that's just rubbing it in.

Really, Gratz Cor.

Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :

Does Icarus get to go to Dragon Con too?

'cause... you know... I've always liked Atlanta and...

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

Congratulations! [Smile]

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Like you ever leave home, Nighthawk. As if....lol....

Jenni and I might go, just so we can ask you a question while you are on the panel. [Wink]

When IS it?

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Labor Day Weekend.

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

ahh

Posted by plaid (Member # 2393) on :

Congrats!! [Cool]

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Not sure we can make it up. We were planning on a LD picnic, and you guys were on our guest list. [Wink]

Darth_mauve--actually the book my agent is shopping and the story for the contest win were two different things. Still hoping one of the publishers will buy my manuscript. It only went out on submission recently, so plenty of time there.

Kwea--Would love it if you guys came. A lot of my friends happen to be going this year. I'm not ON the panel, just asked to attend so they can introduce the winner in a public forum, but I'd love to have a big cheering section there.

Nighthawk--Yes, Icarus is going. Bought his plane ticket and conference badge a couple of days ago. The contest covers mine, but we had to buy his.

We will see what we can do. No promises, yet, but we are considering it.
