For anyone interested. I figured I could handle getting up early once and only the first morning, hence my participation in the first program item below:

Thursday
9 am Walk with the Stars

10 am

79 Short Fiction: On it's way out or a way to break into the market?
CCC - Room 506
Does anyone read short stories anymore? The increase in original anthology collections, coupled with both the internet and paper magazine market would tend to say yes. But many fans tell us they just don't read short fiction anymore. What's the real story?

203 Breaking into SF: The Big Guns

455 The Comeback of Original Anthology
Collections
CCC - Korbel 1C
New collections of original stories are appearing more frequently now than over the recent past. Original Anthology Collections may be substituting for or
supplementing magazines as a market for short fiction. Why are we seeing this and what can we expect in the near future?

Lou Anders

The Comeback of Original Anthology Collections

Hopefully you'll be able to address that topic more extensively than we managed at ReaderCon. I'm still curious whether there's an identifiable reason for this trend.

I'd like that too. But presumably we won't have most of the time taken up by the history of past original anthologies or drift into reprint anthologies...in fact, I'll mention this to the moderator....

Excellent idea. (We did seem to be victims of a Panel Hijacking, yes....)
