More fidgety and more cocky. And I understand the compulsion, because I once shared it. Her killer is simply a man. A boring, attention-hungry, deeply misogynistic cipher. Obviously, serial killers also target menbut it seems most of the media attention goes to the ones who kill white women.

The male killer and his complicated, devious brain is always the I Am Not a Serial Killer, at the expense of everyone else. And we, the viewers, seem to fall for it every time. We could be considering the victims and the people they left behind. But something does feel a little different about this particular serial killer moment. Just last week, Netflix issued a much-pilloried tweet cheekily chastising viewers for crushing on Bundy. Then the platform turned around and purchased another Bundy film, this one starring Zac Efron, which feels a bit like they baked the cake, served it to you, shamed you for eating it, and then put another one right in front of you.

I love LTUE and I adore the creative com- munity that has reinforced it for years. These people (and you are one of them) are totally the best. • You might be a veteran here. You know the drill. You’ve got this down. I hope that, as a veteran, you can find a moment in your busy schedule during these three days to do me a favor and take one of the newbies under your wing. LTUE has been about students from the start. Showing them the way into our creative science fiction/fantasy community is what LTUE is all about. • You might be returning for the second or third year. You learned a lot last year. You’ve done your time. You’ve practiced your craft. And now you’re hoping to learn even more. For you, my friend, I recommend choosing your slate of panels and presentations carefully. Go deeper not wider, and when you find a veteran who does the same things you do, don’t be afraid to ask them more questions. Many of us are introverts here, but we’re here because we love this community, and you are definitely a part of it. • You might be here for the first time. You’re not sure what to expect, but something has drawn you to us and you think it might be a really good thing.

  • Letter from the Chair
    Letter from the Chair Welcome to the thirtieth incarnation of Life, the Universe, and Everything! It’s been, shall we say, exciting getting everything put together this year. With all of the changes we’ve had to make (not least of which is the obvious alteration in location), the thirtieth anniversary is sort of a new birth for the symposium; we’re hoping that we’ll be able to reach an even larger audi- ence and continue to grow in the future. And speaking of births, LTUE is now older than many of its attendees! Over the last three decades, LTUE has hosted a distinguished series of authors, artists, and editors, providing great opportunities both for fans and, more importantly, for new entrants into the SF&F fields. We hear every year about how attending LTUE was helpful in launching new careers, and we hope that we’ll continue to fulfill that role and get better at it. So, attendees— don’t be shy about talking to our guests. Most of them don’t even bite. When I first started attending LTUE, it just seemed like one of those -fix tures of nature—things that will always be there because you cannot imagine the world without them. But of course, the symposium only happens if there are real people behind the scenes doing real work to make it happen every year. So, thanks to all of this year’s committee members and gofers. Thanks to our panel members and presenters, without whom there would be nothing to show up to.
