Best Pro Achievement. It appeared on the Ditmar ballot but then
it was discovered that two of the nominees were ineligible and
so the category had to be scrapped.

SOON TO BE IN PRINT
Damien Broderick notes "I'm pleased to announce that my latest
science fiction novel, Transcension, has just been bought by
Tor Books in New York. Although the novel will [probably]
appear with only my name on the cover, it includes substantial
chunks drafted by Rory Barnes and Barbara Lamar (who naturally
are acknowledged in the book and share in the royalties).
Without giving too much away, the novel deals with life
following the emergence of an AI based on a cryonically
suspended brain, in a world technologically throttled to a
large extent by the strictures of the Joyous Relinquishment.
And an updated edition of The Dreaming Dragons, long out of
print in English although available in Italian and German, can
be downloaded under the new and improved title The Dreaming
from http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/Ebook561.htm. Jonathan
Strahan notes "Paul Collins has sold young adult science
fiction novel, The Earthborn, to Tor Books for a September 2002
publication. Collins has also sold young adult fantasy novel,
Dragonlinks, to Penguin Australia via agent Cherry Weiner.

Strahan notes that the cover of the book has already received

BULLSHEET MEDIA WATCH
Rose Mitchell kindly forwarded a page from MX News
26/4/2001 which mentioned Roman Orszanski and his son Dylan
moving into their house of straw in Metropolitan Adelaide.
Steve Gleeson posted the following to the eidolist " Sean
Williams was on the panel [for Channel 2's Aftershock] and I
thought did very well. He looked like he had been doing it for
years."Sara Douglass gets a half page feature in The Sunday Age
6/5/2001. Opposite that, in the Cover Notes section, Lucy
Sussex manages to sneak in a quick plug for Garth Nix while
reviewing a Cameron Rogers book. Ken Moylan reports "On
Thursday night, Arthur C. Clarke was interviewed by Philip
Adams for Late Night Live. I thought Philip Adams was
struggling until he got to 2001 & Kubrick. Ho hum. Usual
populist stuff. At least A.C.C. corrected Adams about the
meaning of HAL's name (not a slight on IBM)."
FOYSTER NOTCHES UP 60!
In honour of John Foyster's 60th birthday, Yvonne
Rousseau, Damien Warman and Juliette Woods have put together a
superb celebratory fanzine festzine, with contributions from
local and overseas fans, writers and friends including adds "On
the inside back cover of _festzine: things for John Foyster's
sexagesimal anniversary', under ~Photo credits': the second
sentence of the `Front cover' attribution should read: `The
Foyster behind the beard, photo by Ditmar.' The
misunderstanding (that it was a photo by Lee Harding) was mine
-- and I apologise abjectly." Yvonne adds "festzines are
available at no cost (unless your fannish wisdom perceives the
appropriate cost and the appropriate fannish charity to be
benefited) but that they are available either from Yvonne
Rousseau at PO Box 3086, Rundle Mall, Adelaide SA 2000, or
(until they leave in July for Austin, Texas) from Juliette
Woods and Damien Warman at PO Box 3355, Rundle Mall, Adelaide
SA 5000."
CONVENTION NEWS
Julian Warner reports that David Arblaster has developed a
convention programming programme. "Anyone who has run, or
intends to run, a convention may be interested in the level of
sophistication in the database. Beta testers are welcome.
E-mail David direct at mer...@netcon.net.au if you would like
to try it out.
David notes "Some of the nicer features are the ability to
create standard e-mail form letters and send them to selected
people in the database there is even a field parsing facility
that will personally address each e-mail as in Dear [email
name], I represent blah con The mail function should work
with any MAPI capable e-mail package. I know it works with
Outlook and Pegasus. The overseas testers so far seem to have
had some trouble understanding the interface for this so it may
need re-working.
You can also get what I call a Master Program View for each
day showing all events that day across all venues to scale
(venues horizontally, time vertically) with clashing items in
the same venue highlighted. Items can be double clicked in this
view and have their times changed and will then fly away to
the new time/location back in the MPV. It can be made available
for testing in either Access 97 or Access 2000 formats. Some
local testing might speed things along a bit."
Conquest have released their May Progress Report which notes
that Virginia Hey is not available for the convention and that
they have added Richard Biggs from Babylon 5 to their guest
list.
Simon Oxwell notes the following Perth Convention for later
this year "Borderlands: The World Within 24-25th November, 2001
Emerald Hotel, Mount Street, Perth Guests of Honour: Chris
Lawson, Jeremy Byrne and Tess Williams Memberships: $55, $45
concession. Limited to 130 attendees. Basically, a much smaller
convention than a Swancon held over two days, with two
programming streams and a fan lounge, strongly themed to "The
World Within" - an exploration and study of nanotechnology,
consciousness, genetics and the like in real life and in
speculative fiction. The convention is being run by myself,
Grant Watson and Anna Hepworth, because we apparently aren't
busy enough." Contact Simon at sox...@central.murdoch.edu.au
Rose Mitchell notes "ConVergence 2002 has initiated a
'Membership Lay-by' service for Supporting Members of

ELECTRONIC STUFF
Andrew Johnson notes "I've been looking for some group or
organisation that might be able to make good network use of
fandom.net for pro-community fannish interests etc. I simply
haven't had time/energy to maintain the site since late 1998,
though I've also not been willing to hand it over to commercial
or pure ego centric 'businesses'. I'd also be quite happy for
all Australian fan groups to make use of the fandom.net domain
and or hosting where needed.
What would be on offer:
1) unlimited domain usage, I'd make a web page available to
nominated persons through which you could add/adjust domains
within the fandom.net space - for the paranoid I'd even give
you a contract ensuring all those domains remain under the
control of Australian fandom. e.g. http://costumes.fandom.net
http://austrek.fandom.net etc. etc. which can be hosted
where-ever they wish, you control which server they point at
via the above mentioned web page.
2) I'll be happy to provide dns hosting for any new fannish
domains in the *.org.au *.asn.au *.*.id.au domains. Again, the
above mention web page would allow you to create primary &
secondary dns servers for these which in turn would allow those
groups to apply for those free domains, free of service
charges.
3) volunteers would be welcome to build/maintain any amount of
content on fandom.net itself. (re-populate the /genres
sections, make new one, whatever seems a good idea, etc.)
4) I would be willing to assist with hosting within limits
which I have prerogative over - i.e. I'm not giving any
open-ended promises that could cause financial hardship for
myself. That having been said, I'd be quite happy to provide
free pages for costumers guild, while a more commercial group
such as Friends of Science Fiction I would expect to pay normal
hosting fees if they wanted to move their pages here.
5) I would provide a reasonable level of technical assistance
to pages hosted on my machines in the form of automated pages /
databases / server based services etc. (appreciate the reason
these are limited to my server is that first they are programs
which normally require fair payments, and for which I would not
appreciate being taken advantage of as a 'free' tutor etc., and
second such programs should only be installed on other peoples
machines with their permission (and they probably want to
charge for running them anyway) ).
6) Some Email accounts of course, be they picked up here or
redirected to other addresses as needed. Perhaps a number for
various groups, I don't want to feel that I'm being used, but
if anyone does pay for hosting they certainly do get multiple
email accounts for their domain."
Sounds like a very generous offer if anyone has the time to
follow it up. You can contact Andrew at and...@fandom.net.
Robbie Matthews notes "Due to my server dying, the "Nor of
Human..." page has moved:
http://www.austarmetro.com.au/~robbiem/anthology.htm Also (and
probably obviously) my homepage has moved as well:-
