This new video confirms a lot of what I speculated on in my talk on The Wrath of Khan at Archipelacon in July, and adds a lot of detail about the chaotic scriptwriting process and the effects shortcuts (although time seems to have more important than finances)

Archipelacon 2 – Tranquillity And The Convention - Fandom Rover
Not so long ago I attended Archipelacon 2 in Mariehamn and it was a slightly new experience to me. Well it may be an overstatement but I feel like that a bit. One Does Not Simply Go To Mariehamn When ...

We were chatting with Ada last weekend when she'd been in Åland at Archipelacon, and if I understood correctly, she was getting to Poland by surface transport. I'd be interested to know how she actually did it

Jag hade tänkt åka på EuroCon/ArchipelaCon på Åland som var förra helgen, men kom på att jag inte hade organiserat resan dit, och när jag suckade över det upptäckte jag att jag inte orkade åka alls.

Väldigt roligt att Ålandstidningen har en artikel om Ann VanderMeer (pga Archipelacon) där Jeff bara nämns som hennes man.
Foto på paret VanderMeer med bildtexten "Ann VanderMeer med sin man, Jeff VanderMeer" Text från tidningens framsida: "hyllad amerikansk redaktör på fantasymässa"

Easy like Sunday afternoon
A person with glasses, red hair, and a gray beard is smiling and holding several books related to space exploration. They are wearing a black shirt and a colorful lanyard around their neck. The titles of the book on top is “The Black Hole Project” A plush duck wearing a colorful knitted scarf sits on a counter, with a rubber duck dressed as a pirate. A spacious indoor area with modern decor, with multiple tables where groups of people are seated, engaged in conversation. Bright overhead lights hang above, and there are areas with seating in the background on two floors. A collection of colorful lanyards, with one displaying the text “ARCHIPELACON 2.”

So it's the end for this time. When will there be another Archipelacon? Who knows? It was fun to have been here.

Det är väldigt spännande att få chans att lyssna på akademiker, t ex folk som studerar kinesisk populärkultur.

Archipelacon har ett riktigt akademiskt spår, det lyckades vi inte med (försökte inte heller så mycket) när vi gjorde Eurocon i Uppsala.

ootd at Archipelacon 2 about to watch a panel on supernatural powers in wuxia, xianxia and science fiction 💚
I’m wearing a green t-shirt with black writing that says: “如果我是一只宝可梦的话， 王一博就是我最后的进化” which translates to “If I was a Pokemon, Wang Yibo would be my final evolution”. Had the thought one day and thought it was so funny I had to make it into a tee

Usually I don’t get to witness peacock courtship at a con, but Archipelacon is special (I was more impressed than the lady peacock)

A busy day at the convention
A group of people is seated around a small table in a cafe setting. They are engaged in conversation, one person using a laptop and another their phone. The background features greenery and outdoor seating. On the table, there are books and coffee mugs. A busy indoor space with tables and chairs, where a diverse group of people are socializing. Some individuals are seated at tables, while others are standing and chatting. The environment is welcoming, with modern decor and soft lighting. An indoor area featuring a brightly decorated information desk with four individuals discussing. Banners and balloons are displayed overhead, and several laptops and documents are on the desk. A rollup poster with a logo saying ARCHIPELACON 2 – the Nordic SF and Fantasy Convention, and a picture of a pirate swan and the Åland flag

In anticipation of the eco panel I have here at Eurocon / Archipelacon in four+ hours, here's my Esquire piece on climate fiction. Climate Fiction Will Not Save Us share.google/YdEakSUXUaUu...
Climate Fiction Won't Save Us
As the world burns, readers increasingly look to climate fiction for hope, predictions, and actionable solutions. But can the genre really be a manual for useful change?
