Don't fall in the footprints
Aug. 1st, 2007 09:40 pmWell, I'm going to Conflux. Leave is approved, hotel booked, flights book. I suppose I had better actually register. The Conflux virtual minicon this coming weekend may help with that.
But why? It could be that Daikaiju! 3 is getting launched there. I mention this because I have just finished Daikaiju! 2 edited by Robert Hood and Robin Pen. Giant monsters - you know it has to be good. I have come to the conclusion that the real key to these big monsters isn't their size, their impossibility or their enigmatic origins. Rather it is that they stomp. All the best monster stories feature plenty of stomping. Not just walking around, I mean things getting crushed underfoot stomping. A story without a path of destruction is just second rate. So, did the earth move for you?
