Draw to be held Sunday at noon.
Suspension of Disbelief in Ambassador C with Gerald Brandt and Craig Russell; All things are possible if you can imagine it, but how do you keep it plausible when writing it? Is writing near future and urban fantasy easier than far future and high fantasy? What are some things that break the suspension of disbelief?

What Makes a Good Story in Ambassador C with Gerald Brandt and M.C. Joudrey: What matters most in written storytelling? Style? Pacing? Does it need to be character driven or full of action and adventure? Just what goes into making a really good story?
How Do Writers Read Books? in Ambassador H With Kelley Armstrong, Gerald Brandt, Timothy Gwyn and Den Valdron: Can a writer read a book for pure enjoyment without critiquing the writing? Can genre writers read books within their own field without being overly influenced by those books? What books do writers read? What books do writers recommend aspiring writers to read?
