These are the stickers I am bribing myself with. I accidentally bought a pack of 100 sheets oops.
Anyone want a sheet of stickers?
(Genuine offer, only open to UK people who will give me their address or meet me for a secret sticker exchange somewhere in West London. Or will be at Eastercon).

There is a non-zero chance I will just spontaneously burst out singing this when I see you at Eastercon.

I would like it if my brain would actually process when I tick things off the damn to-do list, rather than sending me reminders for stuff I've already done.
(This brought to you by being suddenly convinced I needed to book hotel rooms for Eastercon when already I did that last week)

Hi! I've now confirmed that I'll definitely be away, so I'm sorry to say I can't make EasterCon this year.
Please do give me a shout for future panels if you think I'd be good for them, though! I am normally in attendance at these kinds of things.
And I hope the programming goes well!

My next book convention isn’t until early April—Eastercon in the UK—but I won’t be dragging my feet this time!

Norman Spinrad joke (told by Randall Garrett on 1971 Eastercon panel)
RG: If Ace published the Old Testament and the New Testament as an Ace Double, one side would be titled "Master of Chaos" and the other side would be "The Thing With Three Souls."
Don Wollheim: That isn't a bad idea.

I need to read more Tanith Lee. I kinda bypassed her stuff, apart from a few short stories, thinking her stuff wasn't for me. That was a mistake.
(Penny was on a panel with her at Eastercon a few years before Tanith died, and she was an absolute delight)

I have a set of bookshop events planned for the release of Children of Strife end of March - all in the UK I'm afraid. After Which I'll be at Eastercon which follows directly on. adriantchaikovsky.com

That's the brand they had at the Jersey Eastercon hotel with its on-site chocolatiere, so nice. They sold it on to us in 5kg bars. In the 1990s.
