DO 2006PC1 Were going to Spring FireRemember how Jefferson, Selina, Marcus and I went to Dark Odyssey’s summer camp?

Remember what clueless, trembling, newbies we were? Hell, at least I was. Now, we are going to be presenting at Dark Odyssey’s Spring Fire. How hilarious is that?

We’ll be doing a panel on sex blogging. I will be moderating. Wish me luck – moderating this group could be like herding cats. Between us, our blogs cover a diverse range of interests (as Jefferson dubbed us, the doyenne, the hippie, the whore and the slut) and raise a multitude of issues (creating characters, privacy, anonymity, propriety).

I’ll also be teaching a workshop called ‘Everything You Need to Know about Becoming a Sex Blogger (But Were Afraid to Ask).’ It’ll cover question such as:

  • Should I have a blog?
  • What is this ‘blogging’ thing?
  • How do I get on the internets?
  • Sure, I have a blog, but how do readers find me?
  • Should I write as myself, or under a pseudonym?

I’ll have a lot of tips and tools for setting up a blog, finding inspiration and writing well and building readership in this highly interactive medium. If you’re promoting a book or project, I have lots of idea about how to get the word out.

Jefferson and Marcus will be doing sessions on orgy organizing and etiquette (‘Naked in a Crowd’) and on male bisexuality (‘Odd Man In’). I plan on sitting at the back of the room and heckling them. ;-D

And Selina’s cooking up a a fun icebreaker event.

Tristan has posted the complete workshop list on the Dark Odyssey website.

See you at Spring Fire!
