Conflux 4

We're searching for input in panel ideas for Conflux 4. A list to launch discussion has been put up at the website, www.conflux.org/blog/ Come and give us your thoughts, so we can create a con that you'll love to attend.

We're also going to have the draft timetable for the convention appearing soon. I hope to have feedback from you all about whether you think it will work or not and what things you want to see. :)

Conflux 4 has a new blog at the website: www.conflux.org.au/blog We're going to try to syndicate the two, so when the website one is updated, this one will be as well. Catching as many people as possible.

In the meantime...

The short story competition opens on January 1 and closes January 31. 2000 words of spec fic on the theme of Heroes from Near or Afar. More info at the website www.conflux.org.au

Prices go up on January 1. You've got until then to get a membership at just $110.

We now have an extra guest: Sharyn November, YA editor from America.

Work has commenced on the program - some of the workshops are being advertised on the website, and expect to hear more about panels soon.

People have started testing recipes for the Regency Gothic banquet. What we've discovered already is that it won't be a light meal. You probably won't need to eat the next day :)

That's it in general, but we're excited about it, it's all coming together nicely.

Was the announcement, and the announcement was the Conflux 4 would be taking place in Canberra on September 28 to October 1, 2007. The theme will be "Heroes from Near and Afar"

Our guests will be award-winning British writer Graham Joyce, Aussie heroes Garth Nix and Simon Brown and home-grown heroes Kaaron Warren and Donna Maree Hanson.

This blog is for members of the committee to talk about what's happening with Conflux - arrangements, ideas, thoughts, please for help and so on.

Conflux conventions are known for being writer-focussed, and loads of fun. So stay tuned to the blog, or go to www.conflux.org.au for more information.

Enjoy!
