Yesterday at Readercon 16, the book Hal’s Worlds was publically available for the first time. There was a panel held of some of the contributors to the book. Although I was not on the panel, I am one of the contributes. Harry Stubbs (a.k.a. the author Hal Clement) lead the writers group Hal’s Pals that I belong to.
Shane Tourtellotte, the editor of the book, passed around a copy of the books to be autographed by all the authors. This book will be given to Mary Stubbs, Harry’s widow.
Today, a stranger came up to me at Readercon and asked for my autograph! This was the first autograph that I gave to someone I did not know. It was a thrilling moment for me. Although this was not the first autograph that I gave, that one went to Mary, I consider it my first fan request.
Hey, its a start.

"The objection to fairy stories is that they tell children
there are dragons. But children have always known there are
dragons. Fairy stories tell children that dragons can be
killed."
