| Fri | 1200 | How Healthy is the Short Story | For decades, there has been talk of the death of short fiction in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Are markets shrinking? Is the quality less than it was thirty years ago? | Ellen DATLOW, Gavin J. GRANT, Joe HALDEMAN, Larry NIVEN |
| Fri | 1700 | Autographs | Larry NIVEN | |
| Sun | 1400 | The Short Story's Role in Fantastic Fiction | Short fiction rarely gets the attention that novels do by reviewers. It is harder to sell collections and anthologies than novels. The panelists, writers and editors of short fiction discuss their thoughts about the shorter forms (short story, novelette, novella) of fantastic fiction. | Ellen DATLOW, Gavin J. GRANT, Larry NIVEN, Pat CADIGAN |
