For those of you in a land down under

Have you seen about Oz Meet 2013? Wish I could be there. Maybe next year...

I think, because it's their first one, they want to just test the water and maybe expand it in future years. I can see both sides of the argument, I think.

I'm wary, because it implies to me that a) some of the organisers may be on the side of the reviewers and publishers who won't accept trans or bi stories and b) even though they're advertising it as in the centre of the gay scene, they might not know what to offer in terms of entertainment (or indeed a welcome) to any bi or lesbian women who happen to come along. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong on both counts.

I have high hopes that it's just a case of finding their feet.

Fingers crossed...
