A very good experience at Philcon, and I think I made myself known in a positive way. I was on a panel discussing the heroine's journey as opposed to the hero's journey (monomyth). I made several good points regarding the nature of the heroine's goals as well as the outcomes for her companions. Then another panel was what life would be like if Christianity hadn't come along. I was supposed to be moderating it, but there were two Jewish women there who kind of dominated the whole discussion. Then the final one was "The Monster That Lurks Within," which was a weird title because it was more about the idea of someone becoming something else, like a zombie, against his or her will.
But it was a great joy to spend time with folks I haven't seen in a while.
Of course, I now have a case of Con Crud!
