Even as SF authors all over are posting on their blogs about their 2010 award-eligible work, others are discussing whether this is blatantly trolling for votes. I can see how a constant barrage of VOTE FOR ME OMG could be irritating and tacky. I certainly find it so when it’s podcast award season, and one award allows listeners to vote daily, so the constant vote requests tend to be cacophonous. However, I’m spreading out the awards information for one main reason: don’t forget the podcasts. Until recently, people didn’t even think about nominating a podcast (or any web content) for a Hugo. Heck, it was ground-breaking when webzines started to win.

  • LTUE 27 = 2009 Program Book
    Letter from the Chairs Faculty, Students, and community— Welcome everyone to another wonderful year for the Life, the Universe, & Everything Symposium. Now in our 27th year, we are excited to be around and looking forward to the future, with a great nod of thanks to our past. This year we’ve really had to look back to our roots, finding the core of what LTU&E truly stands for, and realizing the great debt that we owe to our founders—the amazing group of students and faculty who got LTU&E started. While I suspect that many of them would be surprised at how we have changed over the years—let alone lasting this long—I hope they are proud of what we are. LTU&E is still a wonderful forum of thought, a vast gathering of great ideas and interests, bringing together successful professionals and struggling beginners alike to expand their knowledge of not only the world around them, but also how it could be and how to share that idea. Through the study of science fiction and fantasy, we really do connect with life, the universe, and everything. In the annual struggle to prepare for the symposium, we ran across a great number of unexpected obstacles, driving us to great lengths and calling upon all our resources, even so far as to contact members from those early LTU&E committees for assistance. Fortunately, we’ve been blessed with an amazing committee this year as well. Each of them has put in what I would have believed to be inhumane amounts of effort to help this 2009 symposium come together.

Science fiction is much more broad than spaceships and time travel or dragons and unicorns. Science fiction is different from other genres in its emphasis on ideas and examining what it means to be human within the context of the scientific worldview. We will study key texts and key ideas, striving to understand the larger questions of how to define science fiction, how the scope of the genre has changed over time, and what are the boundaries of the genre. The class is oriented around reading and writing. Grading Policies: Grades will be determined on the following basis: Essays 70% Term Paper 30% Grades: A: 90 - 100% B: 80 - 89% C: 70 - 79% D: 60 - 69% E: 0 - 59% (Grades at the high or low ends of these ranges will earn plus and minus grades.) Academic Dishonesty: As specified in PPM 6-22 IV D, cheating and plagiarism violate the Student Code.

  • Letter from the Chair
    Letter from the Chair Welcome! We are now celebrating LTU&E’s twenty-eighth year. It’s exciting to participate in an event that has created a legacy. This symposium has been around for almost three decades and thanks to your continued interest, we will keep moving ahead. This symposium, however, would not be happening without the combined effort of several people. First of all, we would like to thank the Theatre and Media Arts Department at BYU for their continued support and sponsorship. Our gratitude also goes out to our donors who helped fund this event; we appreciate your generosity. Special thanks go to Nathan Hale for an outstanding poster and to Steve Keele for the beautiful program book cover artwork, both of whom stepped up when James C. Christensen had to cancel his appearance for health reasons. Thanks also go out to the individuals who helped organized this year’s symposium. Lastly, we would like to thank everyone who has attended and continues to support LTU&E. As always, we hope you enjoy yourselves. These symposia are designed to achieve several things. We discuss science fiction and fantasy on an academic/intellectual basis because it truly is a lit- erary medium that provokes thought. The symposium also helps provide knowledge for fledgling writers so that their horizons can be expanded. One of the most rewarding purposes is the sense of community it creates. Life, the Universe, & Everything provides the opportunity for people of common interests to come together. Net- works can be formed, friendships can be made, but in the end, every- body gets something from these events.
