Description: They say there are two ways to write: plotting everything out carefully, and just writing and seeing what happens to your story as you go along. Is writing really this binary? Is there a way between? What is the advantages — and disadvantages — of each method? Which are you and why?

Cats and Magic Meeting B Sun 1:00 PM Duration: 01:15
Description: Why are cats so strongly associated with the occult — from the ancient Egyptians through Macbeth to Gareth, Tailchaser, Crookshanks, Chairman Meow, Master Ren, and more in modern SF/F/H? Is it the slit pupils, the teleporting underfoot, or the swift switching from adorbs to evil as Hell? Speaking of which, is Constantine right that cats are “half in, half out anyway”? Basically, are cats magic? (And why aren’t dogs magic?)
Vikki Ciaffone (mod), Michael Ventrella, Sharon Lee
