THE GEORGE TURNER PRIZE

Transworld Publishers have announced The George Turner Prize of
$10,000 for an unpublished Australian Fantasy or Science Fiction
novel. The work must be by Australian residents over the age of
eighteen. It should be between 60,000 and 150,000 words. There
is a $30 entry fee. the deadline for entries is January 30th
1998. All entries must be accompanied by the official entry form
which can be obtained from Transworld Publishers Ground floor,
40 Yeo St, Neutral Bay, NSW 2089. The winning entry will be
published by Transworld.

BASICON 2
Apart from the accommodation problems caused by half of South
Australia descending on Melbourne for a certain sporting event,
Basicon 2 went well. It garnered 142 attendees from a total
membership of  180 and people enjoyed themselves in a relaxed
manner - so relaxed that the motion to amalgamate the National
Convention and the National media Convention passed with
scarcely a ripple. Despite Ian's illness, he and Karen seemed to
be everywhere and things went smoothly. Seattle DUFF winner
Janice Murray and her partner Alan Rosenthal threw themselves
into the spirit of the event, and interstate visitors Eric
Lindsay, Jean Weber, Marilyn Pride, Lewis Morley and Richard
Faulder from New South Wales, Sue Ann Barber and Trevor Clarke
from Perth, Medge & Bean from Adelaide and Robin Johnson from
Tasmania made it feel a bit more than just another small
Melbourne con.

IN PRINT

Damien Broderick's 'The White Abacus' was sold to US SF Book
Club. Offered in their September and October 1997 lists. Allan
Kaster reports "Greg Egan's "Blood Sisters" has been published
on audio cassette. For more information check out the
publisher's web site at www.flash.net/~atx"

BULLSHEET MEDIA WATCH

Katharine Maxwell notes "Star Walking Inc. had a front page
picture and story (titled "Take me to your fan club leader"), in
The Northcote Leader, September 3, and shared an inside spread
with Austrek." Katharine also scored a letter in The Age's Green
Guide 25/9/97

My minute of fame came and went on September 19 when I got to
read my winning Anti-football limerick at 6.20am on 3LO's
Breakfast show. (I note this because I know how few fans are up
at 6.20am)

Channel 9's morning show had its weather presenter doing the
tired old "Beam me up Scotty" jokes at the Powerhouse Museum's
Star Trek exhibit on September 25th. The Channel 10 news also
covered the opening of the exhibition and I gather it attracted
assorted television coverage elsewhere as well. 3LO had a
talkback, featuring Kerrie Dougherty from the exhibition on
3/10/97 and The Australian Magazine 27-28/9/97 had a large
feature.

Damien Broderick reviews the second volume of Adrian Desmond's
biography of T.H. Huxley in the Australian Review 27-28/9/97.
Damien also had a letter in the Weekend Australian 13-14/9/97,
debunking claims that science proves astrology is right.

Danny Heap got an indirect mention in The Age 1/10/97. A
gentleman who has changed his surname to Abolish Child Support
and the Family Court was refused an entry in the phone book and
he pointed out that there was a Mr T.H.E. Bastard in the phone
book. Take a bow Danny.

Michael O'Brien got his letter in The Herald-Sun Entertainment
Guide 1/10/97 regarding the show Spellbinder 2.

Lucy Sussex  reviews Isobelle Carmody's Darkfall in The Age
4/10/97. 

(Lucy adds: Some of you who attended the October Nova
Mob, at which Isobelle Carmody spoke, might have been a little
surprised at my review of her new novel, which appeared in
today's AGE.
	So was I.
	
The Age told me they had lost the original email version of the
review, and would I please fax it to them. I dug it out, looked
at it, and decided I'd been a bit harsh, so revised the review.
It now read as much more positive.
	In the meantime The Age  found the original email review and
published it, without the 2nd (positive) paragraph and with a
negative caption.
	You understand I am not in the habit of asking people tospeak at
my house and then canning their work. The only thing I can do is
send author and publisher a copy of the review that should have
been published and explain the mix-up. If anybody wants to
publish this review, it's theirs.)
	
Isobelle's talk at the Nova Mob (1/10/97) was one of the best
discussion raisers recently and was attended by our visiting
Seattleites.

WRITING COURSE

Dirk Strasser and Stephen Higgins are conducting another of
their SF, Fantasy & Horror writing courses at Holmesglen TAFE.
It started on October 6 and runs for 8 weeks.

AUSSIECON THREE
Copies of Progress Report One have finally been shipped to
Australia - the cartons were sighted in Slow Glass Books on
October 3. Australian members may see them soon.

CONVENTION NEWS

Highlander DownUnder II will take place: Mercure Hotel, Brisbane
28-29 March 1998. Peter Wingfield, who plays the immensely
popular Methos, has agreed to give it another go and has
confirmed his attendance. (subject, of course, to professional
commitments). 

The 1998 Australian National Science Fiction Convention,
Thylacon 2, will be held in Hobart in June 1998. GoH is
Queensland author Leanne Frahm.

FAN FUNDS

DUFF winner Janice Murray has been travelling through the
eastern states and impressed all at Basicon Two. She and Alan
Rosenthal got to Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide.

FAN TRAVELS

Eric Lindsay notes that he and Jean Weber are off travelling
again. "I'll be visiting the USA in October and November,
attending Ditto in Cincinnati, visiting with fans around
Cincinnati for a week, then spending about five days in
Minneapolis. I have to fly to San Francisco on Friday 7 November
to meet Jean Weber. We both fly to Las Vegas on Thursday 13
November to see fans and attend Comdex. We fly to Seattle on
Tuesday 25 November to see Jean's parents in Lacey for
Thanksgiving. We leave for Australia on Monday 1 December."

Strange to note that Cheryl Morgan will be spending roughly the
same three months doing temporary work here in Australia.  Is
this mere coincidence?

Roman Orszanski was in Melbourne recently for an environmental
conference.

DEADLINE FOR #86

Distribution Friday October 25th.


Lucy Sussex tells me "An ort is a scrap left from a meal, it's a
lovely Middle English word, and one which should be revived as
being somehow more descriptive than "leftovers" for the wreckage
which is left on the platters after a holiday feast."
