Category Archives: SFF Seattle Events

It was fun while it lasted.

I’m discontinuing my monthly science fiction and fantasy events lists. While it was neat to see just how many different SFF events happen in Seattle each month, finding the events and creating the lists took a lot of time. I’ve decided to devote that time to writing fiction.

The good news is that I’m finally making progress in my novel. I’m excited about the scenes I’ve been writing. It feels fantastic to enjoy writing instead of just enduring it (or avoiding it altogether). I even read my work out loud in front of an audience for the first time last month, which was both terrifying and awesome.

I’ll post a snippet from the novel tomorrow. If you’re curious about what I’m working on, come back and check it out!

It’s April, and what better way to celebrate than to ride a motorcycle through the tulip fields with science fiction & fantasy stars Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) and Karl Urban (Star Trek, Lord of the Rings)? Or, if that’s way too much pollen and daystar exposure for you, there’s always Emerald City Comicon and the parallel local artist event, Hometown Heroes. UFOs, edible books, BDSM, and more below.

I apologize for the delay in this month’s list; I’ve been having some health issues that have knocked the stuffing out of my work schedule. Even with this late start, we have plenty of neat science fiction and fantasy events in Seattle this month, including a live soundtrack for The Dark Crystal and two very different versions of Alice in Wonderland—not to mention Norwescon, Sakura-Con, and the Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival.

One quick admin note before we get to the good stuff. Last month’s list was absurdly long, so I decided to exclude regular meetings for smaller groups—things like book clubs and crafting groups. If you’re curious, you can find a lot of these meetings on last month’s list.

As always, please check each event’s website to confirm the details. If you’d like to get future events lists, subscribe using the link to the right or follow me on Twitter.

Seattle is full of geeks and nerds. So many of us love science fiction and fantasy, but it can be difficult to find SFF events. Listings on the Stranger and elsewhere are overwhelming, and some of the major events (like conventions) don’t show up there at all.

So, I made a SFF Seattle Events List for February. I’m an editor and a writer, I like research, and lists are my friends. This one wound up being a wee bit longer than I thought it would, and I may shorten it next month. But I plan on making these lists once a month for the next little while. If you’d like to get future events lists, subscribe using the link to the right or follow me on Twitter. I’m a terrible blogger, so unless I kiss the Blogging Blarney Stone, it’s likely that these lists are most of what you’ll see from me. Read More →
