Grab your pom-poms and cheer with me! Sis! Boom! Bah! Science fiction romance, rah, rah rah!
I’m excited to announce that The Galaxy Express will be hosting a two week long online event in July 2009 to coincide with the Romance Writers of America 29th Annual National Conference (Washington, D.C.).
The event will be called “Parallel Universe.” (Thanks to Laurie Green of Spacefreighters’ Lounge for coming up with the name.) It will be the virtual SFR gathering for those unable to attend the conference.
Learn more!
Beginning July 5, The Galaxy Express will feature a series of daily guest posts from authors and Skiffy Rommers on a variety of science fiction romance related topics. I’ll also bring you news directly from the conference courtesy of my correspondents—SFR bloggers who will be smack dab in the thick of things. I’ll be posting conference links as they relate to SFR and there might be a few surprises here and there as well.
Twitter hashtag
I’ll be posting updates on Twitter using the hashtag #rwasfr and it would be great if anyone else tweeting science fiction romance news from the conference could join in using that same one.
If you’re going to be at the conference, one potential hotspot for SFR fans is The Gathering, hosted by the Fantasy, Futuristic, & Paranormal Chapter of RWA. The deadline to register for this event is July 10.
Until then, I’d like to offer up the comment section here for those who wish to announce that they are attending the conference in the hopes that SFR fans can connect with each other while there.
Joyfully yours,
Heather

I'll be there & should have my blackberry by then, to tweet away!
Dang, I'd better finish my short-short little diddy for this event, 'Why Science Fiction Romance Novels End Before the Heroine Gets Knocked Up from All That Hot Nookie in Outer Space,' before I go into labor.
Won't be attending this year. Anybody know where I can get one of those fetal transporters like the one the Doctor used to deliver Samantha Wildman's baby on Star Trek Voyager?
I'll be there! I'll be blogging and tweeting and blogging. Oh my!
This is awesome, Heather. I'll be there too - really excited about The Gathering. And as a work-at-home mother of a toddler, I'm stoked to get to wear the grownup clothes collecting dust in my closet! (Do Converse sneakers and Doc Martens count as "grownup clothes"?)
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
I recently signed up on Twitter (bevbb) to follow something completely unrelated to romances so I've only now turned to finding people in this community who have it. I haven't actually found time to tweet yet myself so I'm game to follow this. Should be fun. ;)

*snort* Almost blew tea on my keyboard there, Kimber An. I'd better get on the stick as well, though going into labor isn't an issue for me : )
Have fun at the conference, folks.
I'll be there! I'm so excited.
Yay! Looking forward to all the guest posts, tweets, and breaking news. There's going to be lots of fun topics.
fetal transporters
lol! Although I imagine something like that isn't too far off. Oh, I feel a blog post coming on...!
Forgot to add: If you have a blog or belong to an online community that would be interested in this event, please spread the word if you can. I would really appreciate it.
Sharon, thank so much for the linkage!
Late to the party, once again.
I've plotted my trajectory for RWA and hope to meet all those who posted you would attend. *makes note of names* :) The Gathering sounds like it will be a blast.
*Whew* Guess it's high time I upgrade my cell phone...and my elevator pitches.
Cool, Laurie! Have fun!
