„We only exist in translation.“ (@Aiki_Mira@mastodon.social ) Quite interesting panel on European #SciFi. What does it actually mean to be European? A European writer? #Europe #writing #writers #MetropolCon2026

Another interesting panel: Green Earth. „There is a thing like slow violence and we‘re living in it. […] You don’t think it can happen to you until you realise you‘re experiencing it.“ (Kim Stanley Robinson) #ClimateChange #ClimateFiction #Narration #Writing #SciFi #Heat #SlowViolence #MetropolCon2026

Today at #Metropolcon2026 I was allowed to give an update on what’s possible with AI and which uses are better ideas than others. In the afternoon I had the honour to be on a panel with Neil Clarke, Mikko Rauhala, Cora Buhlert and Sheri Singerling: Generative AI and Publishing - A Bad Mix? #AI #GenAI #Publishing #Writing #Translation #AuthorBusiness #Publishers #Metropolcon #Eurocon #Eurocon2026

Now a great panel with @t_matam_t@det.social on Economic Imaginaries: communism, capitalism and visions of economic systems in SciFi and phantastic literature. #MetropolCon2026 #MetropolCon #EuroCon #Eurocon2026

And a recommendation from @Otherland-Bookshop for reading #Enshittification by @pluralistic@mamot.fr. I fully agree, everyone should read it. #book #books #EuroCon2026 #MetropolCon2026

After a quite chaotic try to participate in a workshop session on cross-border-cooperation (after the second (or third?) group split I gave up), I‘m now seeing quite an interesting panel on #SciFi and #Philosophy. Back to the roots for me. =) #EuroCon #MetropolCon #EuroCon2026 #MetropolCon2026

And now a session on bilingual writing. I‘m curious how others do it (and if there’s a way to be quicker - without using AI). #MetropolCon #metropolCon2026 #EuroCon #EuroCon2026 #writing

Another interesting discussion here at #MetropolCon #EuroCon with @t_matam_t@det.social, Anette Schaumlöffel and Mary Stormhouse on Hero*ines in Utopia - what to do with loner protagonists in community-positive stories? #writing #utopia #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026

Early morning on day 4 at #MetropolCon #EuroCon. „Looking back to go forward: humankind's past as source of credible ideas for utopian SF“ by Anette Schaumlöffel will start in a few minutes. I‘m very much looking forward to this. :) #SciFi #Writing #History #Utopia #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026
