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. We hope you do. Have fun! Nicholas A.

First, remember that the authors and artists are only human. Just because they write fantastic books or draw fabulous pictures doesn’t mean they are ready to be on stage at any moment. An author or artist may have just had a lousy night or be suffering from something the symposium committee fed them at lunch. Don’t take it personally if they don’t want to talk to you right then. Also, don’t try to dazzle them with your latest story idea or pet project. Most authors are paid to edit material; don’t expect them to do it for free. And don’t make the mistake that one convention attendee made when he tried to discuss the wage differences between British and American actors with a main guest. We promise you, brilliant as they may be, authors and artists don’t know everything. When you want to meet the authors or artists, wait for a good moment when they aren’t busy.
