The very first People of Color in Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog Carnival is online!

Willow is hosting it on LiveJournal, at:

Painted With A Bitter Brush – PoC SF Carnival #1

The Carnival reference page is here, and they’re looking for future hosts, so sign up by contacting Willow if you’re interested.

ETA: This is the official blog of the PoC SF Carnival.

    Wow, it’s very, very livejournal-orientated, isn’t it?

    Are you going to tell them where they should or shouldn’t host their carnival, or is that a rhetorical question based on the evils of That SixApart Place? If you think they should expand their horizons, contact the Carnival organiser, and tell her.

    No.

    If you think they should expand their horizons, contact the Carnival organiser, and tell her.

    If the Carnival organiser is going to invite people to host the carnival outside livejournal in the future, no doubt other carnivals won’t be quite so confined to livejournal.

    …why are you telling *me* this?

  5. Yonmei on July 15, 2007 2:07 pm

    Why assume these comments are directed solely and specifically at you? (If I wanted to communicate with you directly, I’d send an e-mail.)

    You’re replying to my post and making complaints that would be far more constructive if you were to take them up with the Carnival organiser. And she isn’t me, nor do I see it as my duty to report your comments to her, and I certainly don’t have a problem with her decision to host her Carnival where she wants to host it. (The next issue isn’t even supposed to be on LiveJournal: it’s tentatively going to be hosted at the Angry Black Woman blog, off-LJ, as is stated at the end of the first issue of the Carnival.)

    If you’re making these remarks for the benefit of other readers of the FSF blog here, then either explain to the whole board how the running of the Carnival is causing a problem, or I’m deleting this entire pointless exchange.

    If you’re making them for the Carnival’s benefit, then take it directly to Willow.

    Blame me, if you want, for not linking to it in the first place, but it’s not on LiveJournal.
