Catching up with Cymera Festival panels

This passed me by before, but this year I was lucky to find out in time about the Cymera festival of fantasy, scifi and horror writing. It takes place in Edinburgh, but in recent years due to Covid has been online too. It took place in early June and I bought a digital weekend pass. This let me watch events streamed live, but more importantly for constantly sleeping me let me also watch after on catchup. I have until 3rd July to watch them, so am now watching as I can. Have already enjoyed Adrian Tchaikovsky and others talk about cityscapes in fantasy fiction, and Aliette de Bodard and Ann Leckie talk about space operas. With many more things still to watch, as much as I can fit in before the deadline. The technology has sometimes been somewhat ropey, but overall I’m getting lots out of it, and am inspired as a reader and writer myself.
