(crossposted at KeromaruIn about 25 1/2 hours, I'm going to be in London. While I'm in the UK, I'll be attending Worldcon in Glasgow, Scotland, which has some surprisingly interesting-sounding anime and manga programming, as well as a panel on getting an agent, which I should probably attend, and some panels with Terry Pratchett, who is awesome ( Read more... )
