Robin's Upcoming Appearances

[Farseer]

EFF (nitpick mode: Last F is for Fair, not Festival),

Thanks joost! Robin named it 'Festival' but it was only a passing comment, so I fear that nothing may come of it and everyone will get their hopes up for naught...thanks to me (who should possibly have waited before sharing such tidings)! Still, if she's aware/thinking of it, at least we may hear yay or nay over the next few months, giving those of you who are interested time to plan.

there's too much cosplaying for my taste, and the music isn't my thing either. But there's usually a big market selling fantasy stuff (clothing, books, paraphernalia (a.k.a. junk )), which may be interesting.

I'm thinking I'd better complete my report from SupaNova, so that I can share my experience!

Nice one, joost! If anyone hears of any news on Robin's possible attendance at EFF, please let us know (and hopefully it will be in the affirmative so I don't feel bad for possibly jumping the gun!).

@ finella: finella, I have only twice stood in line to meet an author. The first was Australian children's author, Mem Fox, who conducted a brilliant presentation for teachers/educators and reading of her latest (at the time) book prior to her book signing session. My daughter was about seven at the time so a member of Mem's writing target audience.

The other author was, of course, Robin Hobb aka our Tangle Leader...and the first time I had ever done such a thing for myself in the capacity of "fan". Many of my friends couldn't believe what I was going to undertake, especially in that I was wanting to meet an author who writes fantasy!

As for what I experienced there, you've given me incentive to complete my SupaNova report so I will share it with you all soon when it's done. Nothing like a little more suspense!

@ Apricots: I remember seeing a photo that Robin posted of herself with a lady from SupaNova dressed Cinderella-like . I also saw a link regarding a lady who created a dress *Liveship Traders spoiler*

Spoiler

using Malta's 'Malta the Elderling' dress as inpiration. It was the dress with the red panels/inserts that she wore while dancing with Reyn in Jamaillia...the one that Etta said that she would have a better one than, once she'd learned how to dance!

It was gorgeous!
