We promised to put the fanwork links up from the Nine Fanwork Recs item we ran on Friday. We had great fun with this one. Each speaker had an allotted 7 minutes to tell us about their favourite fanwork, timed by Bruce the singing, samba-dancing, robot kitchen timer. Bruce seems to have lost his voice, which was a relief to everyone after last year.

Here are the recs )
So, Nine Worlds 2014 is over. We don't know about you, but we could sleep for a month! Thanks to all who participated, whether as panellists or audience. You took our programme ideas and turned them into a truly wonderful reality, and we love you for it.

There will be an opportunity for formal feedback-giving quite soon, but if you have any burning issues you want to tell us about, or programme ideas for next year that just can't wait, then email us on fanfic@nineworlds.co.uk. You might not get a terribly prompt reply though, because...

Nine Worlds Fanfic is off to Loncon 3 on Thursday! Here's our schedule:

Fandoms are Fabulous (Kate and Tanya)
Thursday 16:30 - 17:30, Fanac Tent (ExCeL)Details )

If you made a poster at Nine Worlds and left it with us, we'll be taking it along for this session.

After that (so, Thursday 5.30-7pm) we'll be running our regular weekly fanfic writing date, concurrently with River who will be hosting in Starbucks on Minories as usual. The convention location is TBC, but it will be somewhere in the fan village and we'll have a sign.

We will also be running workshops and sessions in the Transformative Fandom space in the fan village. These are not in the programme guide, but will be advertised in the fan village ahead of time:

Friday 11am-1pm
Fic-related games and challenges

Friday 3-4.30pm
Crossovers & AUs workshop

Saturday 11am-1pm
Fic-related games and challenges

Sunday 3-4pm
Beta-reading workshop

We'll be playing Slash: Romance Without Boundaries in the games sessions (as well as some other games and fic challenges), and we do still have a few copies for sale at £20. So come and see us if you want one. Or just come and hang out with us anyway!
