David Farnell<p>Today, I presented a paper on AI depictions in Murderbot Diaries, then got to listen to Martha Wells do a reading from her upcoming new book in the series and tell her how much her books helped me get through the hardest times of the first year of the pandemic.<br /><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/VICFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VICFA</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ICFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ICFA</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MurderBot" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MurderBot</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MarthaWells" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MarthaWells</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Books</span></a> <br /><a href="https://iaftfita.wildapricot.org/page-1820583" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">iaftfita.wildapricot.org/page-</span><span class="invisible">1820583</span></a></p>
David Farnell<p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/CfP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CfP</span></a> <br />Submissions are now open for <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/VICFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VICFA</span></a>, the Virtual International Conference for the Fantastic in the Arts.<br />I&#39;ve attended the regular conference, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ICFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ICFA</span></a>, four times, and last year I presented at the first VICFA, which tries to schedule sessions across a wide range of times so people all over the world can attend. It&#39;s definitely worth it, whether you&#39;re a creative writer or a scholar. Nigerian author Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki is helming the conference.<br /><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/fantastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fantastic</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/arts" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>arts</span></a><br /><a href="https://iaftfita.wildapricot.org/page-1820583" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">iaftfita.wildapricot.org/page-</span><span class="invisible">1820583</span></a></p>
