Preliminary Program Grid for Ian Randal Strock

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Ian Randal Strock may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention.

Friday 6:00 pm: What Is a Small Press? (Ends at: 6:55 pm) Washington Theater
Participants:Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Shahid Mahmud, Adeena Mignogna, Joshua Benjamin Palmatier (M), Ian Randal Strock
As Capclave and WSFA continue to honor short fiction in small presses, does the current definition need to be updated to fit different models? Is the number of publications a good fit? How do you fit in author collectives?
Friday 8:00 pm: This One Time... (Ends at: 8:55 pm) Washington Theater
Participants:Morgan Hazelwood, Ian Randal Strock, Michael A. Ventrella, Jean Marie Ward (M)
It may not have been at band camp, but we are involved in stories our whole life. From a young age to the current day, something is almost always happening. Panelists tell brief funny stories from their life, career, and friends.
Saturday 12:00 pm: The Future of Currency (Ends at: 12:55 pm) Jackson
Participants:Elektra Hammond, Shahid Mahmud, Jennifer R. Povey (M), Ian Randal Strock
Money makes the world go round. A discussion of the future of currency from cold hard cash to electronic options. What are the benefits of each? How does it affect transactions and taxation? Will paper money go back to being backed by precious metals rather than the full faith and credit?

Participants:Ken Altabef, Scott H. Andrews (M), Jennifer Brinn, Ian Randal Strock, Sheree Renée Thomas
All these authors writing their long toe-breaking novels have it wrong. The ultimate form of writing is the short story. Panelists discuss why short stories are the best form of fiction. Does this stem from the roots in oral histories and campfire tales?
