If you visit us here at CWC often, you have probably seen a trend in the types of things that I talk about when I post here. Mostly men, and mostly about them touching in some way. Did you know there is a convention dedicated to this wonderful niche interest [you probably could have guessed, …
This panel was inspired by a piece comic writer and novel author Greg Rucka wrote for i09 and can be found here. But it seemed like a good topic to address at Geek Girl Con, so he took the stage with Susana Polo to talk about his article, his method of writing believable, realistic women, …
Geek Girl Con was so much fun, I don’t even know where to begin. Autumn and I have a zillion photos and reams of panel notes, and Autumn interviewed some ladies from NASA. So we’ll be posting our Con Converge as quickly as real life allows. (Damn real life!) This panel was proposed and moderated …
Just when I thought I was being lazy about making new blogs posts, someone was horribly wrong on the internet and has induced both feminist AND nerd rage.

The original plan …
FIRST! Some acknowledgements: 2011 was the year this blog started. It began because my friend Jon and I had a conversation during which I realized the best way to be a part of an awesome Geek Girl Blog was to create one. I’m a huge geek. And I have lots of lady friends who are …
What I love about dsytopian stories the most is learning how they got there. What apocalyptic scenario destroyed the previous status quo, and how did it happen? How did the virus spread? How did the government fall? So I was excited to hear some expert writers discuss that moment of total destruction and what follows. …
I can’t say enough good things about the first annual Geek Girl Con that was held earlier this month in Seattle. We’ll be continuing our panel coverage as Autumn and I find time to do write ups, but I wanted to do a general con report too. I found this convention while searching for nerdy …
