Fiction: Valley of the Girls by Kelly Link. Renovation - Your First Worldcon. An introduction by Stu Segal and Laurie Mann. The World Science Fiction Convention is an international gathering of the Science Fiction and Fantasy communities. Worldcon attracts members each year from North and South America, Africa, Europe, Australia and Asia ... and in the last decade the convention has been held on 4 continents.
Authors, artists, editors, publishers, gamers, vendors, musicians and fans all attend. Everyone who attends joins (except for the Guests of Honor and a few special speakers, everyone you see, regardless that they are a first timer or a million selling author, has paid for the privilege of attending). The convention is organized and run by fans, volunteers all. When you show up at a Worldcon for the first time, it's much like walking into a giant buffet, an enormous room filled with table after table of delicacies. The Hugo Awards, and the Awards Ceremony Yes, you as a member of the Worldcon, get to nominate those works you think are worthy for Hugo Awards.

Astounding/Analog (often all-encompassingly just called ASF) is often considered the magazine where science fiction grew up. When editor John W. Campbell took over in 1938, he brought to Astounding an unprecedented insistence on placing equal emphasis on both words of "science fiction.
" No longer satisfied with gadgetry and action per se, Campbell demanded that his writers try to think out how science and technology might really develop in the future-and, most importantly, how those changes would affect the lives of human beings. The new sophistication soon made Astounding the undisputed leader in the field, and Campbell began to think the old title was too "sensational" to reflect what the magazine was actually doing. Real science and technology have always been important in ASF, not only as the foundation of its fiction, but as the subject of articles about real research with big implications for the future.
