Our Guests of Honour were Neil Gaiman, Poppy Z Brite, Richard Harland and Robin Hobb, with James "Jocko" Allen as Fan Guest.

"I love the social aspect of it. The panels are great ... but the bar is the place to be. And not just because I'm a pisshead, but because that's where I meet with my friends, make new friends, share ideas, info, advice, jokes, whatever. I just have so much fun at cons. Some of the finest people I know are part of the specfic community, and as they all live in far-flung locations, these cons are a brilliant chance to catch up."

Kim Wilkins, author of The Europa Suite

"What do I enjoy about conventions? Undoubtedly, the people. Contact with like-minded weirdoes... er... writers and fans. I learn so much by listening to what other writers say about their work and what readers say about what moves them. Or what puts them off. I find out there actually are people who love my writing; I find out that I have touched people's lives. A convention is a wonderful learning experience and I've never been to one yet that was long enough."

Glenda Larke, author of The Mirage Makers trilogy
