Announcement: Sectus link up with Fiction Alley

[Elanor Isolda]

Take a stroll down Fiction Alley in London!

Sectus are pleased to announce an exciting partnership with Fiction Alley,
the largest fanfiction site in the Harry Potter fandom.

For the duration of Sectus 2007, Fiction Alley will not be an alley at all,
but a room dedicated to promoting creativity in the fandom.

Fiction Alley will play host to creative writing workshops, live fiction
readings and opportunities for informal discussions and meetups. There will
also be drabble booths, where writers from within fandom will be on hand to
turn your ideas into short works of fiction. And for the artistically
inclined, drawble booths will be the place to visit to have your vision
turned into a piece of art.

"We're thrilled to support Sectus," says Fiction Alley's Heidi Tandy, "and
this will be a wonderful creative outlet for the fans."

"Creativity is a huge part of fandom, and often an underestimated one," adds
Llama of the Sectus Programming Team. "Fiction Alley will provide a central
location for those who are inspired by the Harry Potter books, and this will
run alongside the academic stream of the conference."

Have any ideas that would be suitable for Fiction Alley? You can get
involved by submitting a proposal for a workshop, discussion or other event
to submissions at sectus.org. Almost any format can be arranged – in keeping
with the theme of Fiction Alley, the only limit is your imagination!
