| About: | Wiscon 32 will be held May 23-26, 2008, and the guests of honor will be Maureen McHugh and L. Timmel Duchamp.
Wiscon 31 was a smashing success. Peruse the posts to this community to find links to reports and general commentary. You can see pictures of Wiscon 31 at the flickr pool here.
Everyone is welcomed to join ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) wiscon. Only members may post, but anyone may comment.
Hopefully, the discussion will be pretty free-ranging.
Important Note:
This is not an official community of Wiscon. Very few members of the Wiscon committee are on LJ. The best way to reach the concom is by using one of the email addresses given on the Wiscon contact page. Thanks!
Other organizations of interest:
I think all of these organizations were germinated at Wiscon.
Broad Universe -- promotes and networks women writing in science fiction and fantasy. LJ Community: broaduniverse.
The Carl Brandon Society -- promotes and networks people of color writing in science fiction and fantasy.
The James Tiptree, Jr. Award -- an annual award for science fiction and fantasy that explores gender issues. Community supported.
The Interstitial Arts Foundation -- art made in the interstices between genres and categories.
