Elizabeth Moon vs. Sense, Round Two
Continuing from where it was left off over on Unfunny Business, Elizabeth Moon's invite as Guest of Honor to Wiscon has been Officially Rescinded. Not by the concom; by their superiors, who announced this with a very short statement.

Comments, predictably, are rather full of fail. Venture hence fully understanding the risk to your blood pressure. Lots of the usual "PC brigade will RUINS THE WORLD!" bullshit.

Discussing this: Cat Valente, Nick Mamatas, and N. K. Jemisin. The ever-fiery Karnythia has some stuff to say about the con itself.

Ms. Moon is entirely silent.

ETA: Cyan_Aura was kind enough to provide mention, and Juliansinger to provide a link to Ms. Moon's really fairly snippy leaving of the birthday party; since her GoH status was rescinded, she's decided just not to play (rather than attending and facing real live human beings).

	Her début, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms was just published this year. Excellent story; I can't wait for the second in the trilogy, that's due out next week. ♥ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I read a couple of her LJ entries about The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms a while back and was going to check it out. RL got in the way, so I forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me! :D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ooh, she wrote that? Naomi Novik recommended it at the Fantasy Writers panel at New York Comic Con and I wrote the title down as something to check out. Clearly I need to bump it up my reading queue a couple notches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would! It's a lovely book; it's also been nominated as a Yuletide fandom this year. (Reply to this)(Parent)
