Traditions of ArmadilloCon
[ edit ]
ArmadilloCon generally focuses on literary science-fiction, with guests of honor typically being up-and-coming writers. Unique programming includes a "Fannish Feud" which has been held regularly since ArmadilloCon 4 in 1982, and has been hosted by a variety of people, including Pat Cadigan , Walter Jon Williams , and Professor Griffin . The convention typically includes a large number of readings, and for some years ended with a story reading by Howard Waldrop .
A key element of the convention is the ArmadilloCon Writers' Workshop. The workshop was started in 1998,[4]
