Albacon 2009 October 9 – 11, 2009 Albany, NY Albacon 2009 October 9 – 11, 2009 Albany, NY The Capitol Area’s Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention Guests of Honor Author Elizabeth Hand Originally from Yonkers and Pound Ridge, NY, Hand worked for a number of years at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air & Space Museum. In 1988 she moved to Maine. A visionary writer, she has a longstanding interest in outsider artists, the subjects of much of her fiction. Her recent psychological thriller Generation Loss is about an emotionally damaged proto-punk photographer, and 2004’s Mortal Love was inspired by the life and work of the schizophrenic Victorian fairy painter Richard Dadd. Hand’s novels and short stories are highly autobiographical, and draw deeply on the places she’s lived, including Yonkers, Washington, D.C., North London, and the rural coast of Maine. Artist Stephen Hickman Stephen Hickman has been illustrating science fiction and fantasy for three decades. His work is inspired by the masters of fantasy and science fiction writing — J.R.R. Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Clark Ashton Smith. Hickman’s work has earned him critical acclaim, including a World Science Fiction Convention’s Hugo Award, and 5 Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. In 1994 he was awarded a Hugo Award from the World Science Fiction Convention for the United States Postal Service’s Space Fantasy Commemorative Booklet of stamps, the first official recognition by the government of the SF genre. Since 1976 Hickman has illustrated over 400 covers; in 1988 Hickman wrote The Lemurian Stone (Ace Books), which formed the basis for his Pharazar Mythos illustrations, and was in the 1994 edition of Spectrum. Fan D. Cameron Calkins Starting from crude AD&D character sketches in 1980, Calkins has advanced to exhibit at a whole lot of SF/F convention, and even won a few awards. He uses humor and the Greco-Roman tradition of beauty, often with a touch of erotica. Raised in upstate New York near Rochester, Calkins went to Roger Williams College for marine biology, but in the mid-1990’s became a computer geek. He owns a Ball Python, and has a fondness for a certain dragon puppet.

  • Progress Report #1
    Welcome to the first progress report for the 2021 World Fantasy Convention! We are pressing on, in times of Covid, and continuing to plan a wonderful in person convention in Montréal, Canada. We have a stunning guest list and a superlative team for both planning and the creation of the gathering not to be missed. We will be at the Hôtel Bonaventure, an iconic landmark in the city. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown and just outside the Old Port of Montréal. It is near major roads, right across the street from Gare Centrale, the Montréal train station, and is directly connected to two Metro stations, making it easily accessible for both motorists and public transport users. We will be able to enjoy a lavish 2.5 acres of gardens with streams inhabited by ducks and fish as well as a year-round outdoor heated pool. Our committee is busy excitedly planning a convention that will surpass your every expectation. Our theme will be YA fantasy. The field of young adult fantasy has grown from being popular to becoming a dominant category of 21st century literature, bringing millions of new readers to hundreds of new authors. We are working on a diverse program that will explore this genre that celebrates fantasy fiction in all of its forms: epic, dark, paranormal, urban, and other varieties. We invite members to share what they enjoy, what they have learned, what they have written themselves, and what they hope to see coming in the field of young adult fantasy fiction. We look forward to seeing you all in Montréal! Diane Lacey Chair Diversity Statement The committee for the 2021 World Fantasy Convention is unconditionally devoted to promoting diversity within our convention.

From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of fandom. No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins. We look forward to sharing their talents in person with you next August, and I’m sure they are working on cunning plans with my Program and Exhibits divisions already.
