Norwescon » Social Media https://www.norwescon.org The Pacific Northwest's Premier Science-Fiction and Fantasy Convention Sun, 11 May 2014 16:12:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.1 Norwescon on Goodreads https://www.norwescon.org/2014/01/22/norwescon-on-goodreads/ https://www.norwescon.org/2014/01/22/norwescon-on-goodreads/#comments Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:45:29 +0000 https://www.norwescon.org/?p=3848 While Norwescon covers nearly all aspects of modern geekdom in some form, at our core we are proud to be a literary-focused convention. We have stellar established and up-and-coming authors joining us each year — sometimes as Guests of Honor, and sometimes simply wandering the halls and enjoying the convention. We also host the annual Philip K. Dick Award ceremony.

We want to know: Are you reading (or have you read) this year’s P.K. Dick nominated books? Have you read any books by our Author Guest of Honor, Michael Moorcock, or our Special Guest of Honor, Seanan McGuire (also known as Mira Grant)?

GoodreadsJoin the Norwescon group on Goodreads and tell us what you think! We have a reading challenge set up for the P.K. Dick nominees (can you read them all before the award ceremony at Norwescon 37?) We also have discussion threads for each of the nominated works. Gather with your fellow fen and let us know what you thought of the books and which one you think deserves the award!

The Mad Scientist's Daughter
Life on the Preservation

Norwescon: Now on Tumblr and Pinterest! https://www.norwescon.org/2013/12/03/norwescon-now-on-tumblr-and-pinterest/ https://www.norwescon.org/2013/12/03/norwescon-now-on-tumblr-and-pinterest/#comments Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:00:04 +0000 https://www.norwescon.org/?p=3747 Norwescon has had a presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ (plus YouTube for videos and Flickr for photos) for some time now, but we’ve just expanded our social media presence to include both Tumblr and Pinterest as well!

Of course, it should be obvious by now that we’re progressing well in our mad scheme to conquer ALL THE INTERNETS! But we can’t do it without all of you: our many attendees, panelists, guests, volunteers, fans, followers, Tumblr users, and pinners — so if you use one, two, or all of these services, take a look! Friend us, follow us, share, reblog, repin, and do whatever else you do to help us continue making Norwescon the best it can be every year!

To recap, you can now follow Norwescon on all of these sites:

This listing is pulled from a search for our official hashtag, #nwc35, plus our music track’s #nwcmusic hashtag and norwescon.
