Well no news on the conference yet but... I'm going to Tokyo in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any contacts (or knowledge of people) in Tokyo who I could have a really informal chat with about Manga / Anime / Science Fiction / or women characters / cyborgs or Japanese culture ?! Maybe a tall order - but I don't want to rule any possibilities out. It would just be nice to be able to meet people when we get there (I'm travelling with my husband - an architect). If anyone could let me have the email address of anyone, I'd be very very grateful. Thanks, Melanie Latham.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Mysterious Galaxy book discussion group read PROXIES for Wed. night's discussion. It was interesting -- most of the members of the group dabble at least a little in all of our genres (defined as SF, mystery, fantasy and horror for the purposes of the group), although we do have those who don't care for one or more genres and just come to the genres which interest them. Not very many read hard SF on a regular basis, and 70% were frankly thrown by PROXIES. Between the "in your face" style and the various format devices, they were lost. Not critical of what you'd done, Laura, just feeling it wasn't for them. Lots of positive comments on little things thought that felt very "real" despite the SF setting.

It's become clear to me from feedback like this that I made PROXIES -- especially the first third (which is the worst place to do it) -- too challenging for readers who don't read hard SF on a regular basis. I am determined not to make that mistake again, and have been working on making following books more accessible. -l. -- Laura J.
