ConDFW
Do any of you have suggestions for possible guests for ConDFW that--and this is important--you think would bring in lots of attendees to see them?
Normally we pay more attention to who we think would provide good panels, rather than numbers of attendees who'd show up just to see them, but after this most recent year when we ended up having to pay for function space at the hotel due to not making room block*, we really, really need to find a guest who will bring in the crowds. We had good luck in the past with Lois McMaster Bujold and Jim Butcher--someone on that level would be awesome.
They also need to live in the US or Canada, as our budget does not extend to international flights from anywhere else.
If you're on Dreamwidth and looking at this post in my style, apologies for not having the comments worked out yet. I suggest reloading in your own style, the site style, or light style.
* In part due to hotel shenanigans which were, while totally legal by the contract, not to our benefit.
