(I finally realised how I could share my WorldCon 2020 workshop: use my backup version!)

That ends today's #hantu of Malaysia session! This isn't even the only time I missed being haunted in a personal capacity so, with some luck, I will continue missing these horrifying opportunities to meet some terrible ghosts.

Thread #3 on #Hantu
One of the things mentioned in the #ConZealand #WorldCon2020 How Scary Can You Be panel is "school horror" helping children deal with trauma in their lives with the introduction of supernatural/unlikely horror.
In Malaysia, all Chinese schools are haunted.
The "What Sells?" #whatsells panel recording posted includes the invasion by an edgy fascist troll at min 20-22, unedited. It's unclear if other recordings, unedited, are similarly posted.
Is the old SFF moral "technology is bad" a theme for #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand? 5/5
Thread #1 on #Hantu
Hey! Some of you know me as "the guy on the #WorldCon2020 #worldcon #CoNZealand Children Horror panel talking about the wild ghosts/monsters of Malaysia." As the recording *is* lost, I'm repeating stuff I said on the panel
We continue with #Toyol! 1/?
Listening to the Token Girl panel from day 1 of #worldcon2020 . This one is really good.
Highly recommend.
No wonder I didn't get a lot of writing done in July... I just calculated the hours and THIS is where I spent 125ish hours in the last 6 weeks...

Folks who have been tweeting about the #HugoAwards and #WorldCon2020 or #CoNZealand watch out for the wave of fresh trolls and bots which seemed to have picked up on this and are now abusing ppl in tweets. I just got Brandon17773158 twice, I know there are more. Report & block.

A scholarly thread of Malaysian SFF recs, by @SekHanFoo , of all the folks we mentioned during our panel at #WorldCon2020 !
On 31 July 2020, @zedecksiew , @IkaKoeck and I did the #MalaysianSFF panel for #WorldCon2020 #worldcon #CoNZealand . If you are a @CoNZealand member, you may find the recording here until 8 Aug 2020! https://t.co/eWTsQLOTr0
Here's a non-exhaustive thread on #MalaysianSFF recs!
Okay, so books-wise I'm usually talking about crime or kids books. But if you enjoy Sci Fi or Fantasy, check out this great thread on some awesome Kiwi authors who are writing terrific, fresh, exciting tales. Authors who got a bit knobbled by the #WorldCon2020 schmozzle. Buy some
Let's start with @StephMatuku, who writes awesome MG and YA books for kids. I reviewed "Flight of the Fantail" at Strange Horizons when it came out, and it is a creepy, cinematic tale of kids lost in the bush, where weird things start to happen. https://t.co/W4T16wmbpg
If you like SFF, check out this terrific thread highlighting a diverse array of wonderful Kiwi authors (much more interesting to read than problematic dead US guys), including past/present Ngaios entrants @andicbuchanan @leemurraywriter @rabarts and @MelHardingShaw #WorldCon2020

Plugging myself, I wrote "The Spectacular Adventures of Sweet Potato" about a corgi (both a clever boy and a tremendous idiot) accidentally stumbling into a black magic ritual by a Malaysian bomoh, read by Maya Tan on @BFMradio https://t.co/bsEDXRF0Y2 #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand
Panelist @IkaKoeck Ika Koeck, a contributor to the "Apex Book of World SF, Volume 3", currently writing a novel series, has her latest story "Home is a Planet Away" appear on "The Clan Chronicles: Tales from Plexis" anthology https://t.co/u93cd0AtNO #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand
The 2015 anthology "Cyberpunk Malaysia" edited by @zenaldehyde , featuring writings by @zedecksiew , @tedmahsun,@isaacs_tina (and myself) among others, is a great introduction to the Malaysian approach to Sci-Fi. https://t.co/GR8qrWmyzx #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand
@EeleenLee Eeleen Lee's debut hard sci-fi / space opera novel "Liquid Crystal Nightingale" is out this year, and bound to delight: https://t.co/Hb6G6fLPNC #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand
@tedmahsun Ted Mahsun, a Clarion alumni who writes science fiction in both Malay and English, wrote the fabulously-titled "The Dangers of Growing Air-cooled Volkswagens in Your Backyard" https://t.co/QUnvKyk6IT #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand
@zenaldehyde Zen Cho, writer of award-winning "Spirits Abroad" and the "Sorceror to the Crown" series, has her latest book out this year "The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water" https://t.co/rI8cKo3JdC #WorldCon2020 #CoNZealand
