In this case I’m the user, and I’m pretty sure that it’s the system that’s not working.

And again on Saturday, a panel about why humour in SF/F, and especially getting humour published, is difficult.
17:00 - 18:00 Panel — Why is humour in SF&F difficult? Humour SF/F was the genre of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, two of the most popular SF/F authors. Yet, since the 2000s, publishers consider it difficult or unpublishable. Why is this? And how did we get here? Guests Jaine Fenn, Jonny Nexus, James Steel and David Wake discuss this thorny topic.

On Saturday, a panel about whether to avoid or embrace humour in RPGs.
16:00 - 17:00 Panel — RPGs: Serious or accept the farce? Your Star Trek turns into Galaxy Quest? Lord of the Rings ends in a bar fight at Bree with cheese-based puns? Can a noble story of intrigue, adventure and heroism be role-played, or should you just accept the farce? Featuring Sam Burns, Jonny Nexus, James Steel, Gary Loveridge and Dr Bob.

On Friday evening, a panel about how smart a chimpanzee has to before killing them is murder, and related subjects.
21:00 - 22:00 Panel — How smart does a chimp have to be? Humans have rights and animals don’t. But in a fantasy setting, or an exo-planet, that need not be the case. On a world in which Homo Habilis exists, what rights could or should they have? It’s not just David Brin’s uplifted species, but what about Replicants, Asimov’s robots? Can we switch ChatGPT off? And what might be the impact of such creatures on laws and society? Jonny Nexus, Dr Bob and Tlanti.

That’s an incredibly interesting nugget of information!

Genuine question from a reader of many (most?) of your books. When it comes to things like the Southern Victory series, did you always have the rough timeline (second civil war, alternate Great War, alternate WWII) roughed out, or did the history sort of evolve organically / naturally?

I mean I like Les Miserable, but I'm hardly a musical theatre kid. :)
