*sigh* Despite our best efforts to minimise concrud from Continuum 16, we unfortunately are aware of a number of attendees and committee who have tested positive to Covid. If you attended this year, we strongly recommend you test yourself, and above all, look after yourself.

Two hours until the start of the long awaited Continuum 16: Reboot! (ARGH!) If you're planning on being active on the social media, use hashtag #c16Reboot so we can easily find all of the awesome! See you soon.

Less than 24 hours until... Continuum! The Guests of Honour have all arrived, the panels are scheduled, the karaoke machine is paid for, the venue is mapped, and the con committee is all sleep deprived. We're ready, are you?
A purple drink, with a red fruit on top, and a straw sticking out of it. It is, also, unfortunately, out of focus. The one in the background is in perfect focus, but the one in the foreground... isn't. Oh well, better luck next time. (And what does this purple drink have to do with any of this post? Well, that's what one of the Guests of Honour was drinking.)

Anyone else going to @continuum_con this weekend? 👀
I’ll be at Continuum in Melbourne this weekend, talking about publishing and social media! Come check out my panels, or if you see me around, feel free to say hi! Pandemic Publishing: Sat May 18, 3 - 3:50 PM Has publishing changed since 2020? And if yes, is that because of the pandemic, or other forces? How has it changed and what does that mean for authors and readers? BookTok: Sat May 18, 5 - 5:50 PM From viral dances to viral bestsellers, BookTok has become a major force in publishing. Our panelists discuss the hows, whys, upsides and downs. Alas Poor Hellsite: Sun May 19, 4 - 4:50 PM Farewell, Twitter. Hello, … X? The future of social media – and of fandom on social media. Do we go to Tumblr? Substack? Are we all going to go back to blogging? Is it time to get a Neocities account?

Good news everybody! The Continuum 16: Reboot program is now (mostly) live! It lives, it lives! continuum.org.au/participate… (There are a couple of gaps while we wait for confirmation from a small number of panellists, and other small bits of organisation to occur.)

Continuum is less than 2 weeks away, and we have finalised our ConCrud policy. In short: Masks will be worn at all times, unless you have a valid reason. Masks will be provided free to all members, but you can wear your own. Details: continuum.org.au/code-of-con…
