Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Jim's Dragon*Con 2013 Schedule
« on: August 24, 2013, 12:23:17 AM »Dragon*Con 2013 will be my first con ever and the main reason I decided this was the year to go is because Mr. Butcher will be there. As a con newbie, I have a couple questions about autograph sessions. I don't really have anything I need/want to have autographed...I'd really just like to say hi, express my fan-ness and maybe take a picture. Does Mr. Butcher allow photographs and, if so, is there any charge? Would it be better to do something like this at the autograph signing or is it better to stalk him at the panels?
Thanks in advance!
What I can say is from my experience with helping Jim at the last DragonCon he attended, and I don't think we'll have any changes THIS time.
Time is the one challenge, and Jim likes talking with as many of his readers as possible, so we ask people to try to limit themselves to two items per signing session. That's pretty much the only restriction. He doesn't charge for photos or autographs, and I'm sure he'd be delighted to meet you. After panels are difficult because we're usually being ushered out quickly so the staff can get ready for the next panel. Panels generally leave time for questions, however, especially Jim's solo panel on Sunday, and that's a good time for a "hey, love your work" moment and good times for pics too!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
