Jim's Dragon*Con 2013 Schedule
Rasins:
Each time I've seen Jim, we've gotten books signed and a picture or two with him. I'd think that if someone wants to have a word with Jim and a picture, but no signature, it would actually be quicker that if there was a signature.
Granted my experiences have been at signings, not cons.

Maybe I should have gone back to DragonCon. Oh well. I'm sure FaerieCon will be less overall chaotic anyway.

Don't get me wrong. There are almost always more folks who want stuff signed than cons budget time for. But I don't think that should create a dividing line of who gets to meet the author.
The Dragon*Con of three years ago was particularly heinous. There were fans who lined up over an hour in advance that weren't able to get anything signed. But cons are wising up to the sheer mass of Jim's readers and the fan demand for signing time and making allowances. Hopefully, that debacle won't happen again.

When I first signed on to be Jim's sidekick again, I was asked what he needed. My immediate answer was MORE FREAKING SIGNINGS. They assured me that the signing policy that hosed us so badly in 2010 has been changed, and I would not be surprised if it were not in part because of Jim's experience.

How does one volunteer to be an author's sidekick at a con? :)

I think a Hunger Games is involved.
