I am delighted to say that Un:Bound was permitted to record some of the panels and interviews by the organisers and participants, so we tried to gather a decent sample of the weekend to share with you all and some are already up on our podbean site. Here is a sample.
We also have a videoed interview with Robert Shearman coming up from the event.
For me personally it was, as these things so often are, a wonderful opportunity to meet up with existing friends, make new ones and immerse myself in the world of genre fiction for a few days. My apologies to everyone I didn't get to speak to for nearly long enough, I shall hopefully see you all soon. For Kat it seemed to be a good chance to get lots of people wearing cat ears, which you can see on the flickr stream. I am tempted to make it a new feature. Lee was particularly glam in them and wore them a good chunk of the night.
Un:Bound was asked to record the awards and ended up covering video too after the usual archivist was sadly separated from his camera (hope it turned up Martyn). A playlist has been created on youtube and it's broken down by award. My huge thanks to Vince for manning the main camera and doing all the hard work afterwards and to Kat for being camera number 2 twice that day. Also thanks to Angry Robot's Lee Harris for providing camera number two.
BFS have done a round up of posts too, there are some in theirs that I didn't get so check it out.
Amanda discusses Peter Hamilton's response to the accusation that SF is dying over at Floor to Ceiling as well as offering up an overview of the Con.Adrian gives a big ol' report on fantasy con where I am horribly slandered, or exposed or something.
The awesome Alasdair Stuart covers the event on the SFX blog and did an awesome job of interviewing Peter F Hamilton.
A view from the inside on Shiny by the lovely Jenny.
Sharon at Dark Fiction Review covers the weekend thoroughly and lists the winners.
Adam Christopher notes the strong presence of horror this year.
At Rambling to the Tattooed Head FCon becomes the yardstick by which the friendliness of all con's will be judged. I like this idea, next year we should all be saying, 'it was about a 0.7 on the Fcon scale of friendly'.
Rhube covers the Con and the book I, Zombie
It was over way too soon for Gary Greenwood, but he got some good snaps.
Kai Savage went to a good chunk of the programme.
The lovely Lou Morgan covers the event both before and after sleep.
Thoughts on the event from the Eloquent Page
A good overview at Follow the Thread.
Stuart Young let's us know how he found the event
as does the lovely Jo at Always Been a Dreamer.
And a quick reminder that you can also hear the 2010 Alt.Fiction podcasts here.

Goodness -- you were certainly busy. Now all I need are a few spare minutes (hours?) to read through some of this. Got any?
ha, I wish, I still have audio to edit and get up.
There's no link to the photos!!! The photos!!!
I'll have to read the one about Sci-fi dying - I kept hearing that the entire time I was writing my book. Glad I chose to ignore it!
