Interesting Post on the I09 Website from Greg Rucka, comic book and novel writer...
Why I write "strong female characters"....
Reminds me of Joss Whedon's answer to a similar regularly asked question:

Post London Scifi Film Festival

The Festival was definately worth attending.Not only did I get to see some great films, on their debut viewing no less, but there was giveaway books and other goodies!

FILMS


Radio Free Albamuth


Strange Frame

Manborg

Trek Nation

The Captains

The other event I attended was "The Outstanding Sci Fi Cabaret" 
MC'd by local scifi Fan comedian Rob Deb.
I was not so enthralled by this. Maybe it was the cleverly disguised strippers/oops burlesque performers, or the latex fashion show which was basically girls in tight clothes(disguised as comic book characers)..
However the stand up comedians were top notch. Particularly Bec Hill, whose set included a brilliant song called Dinosaurs, and a flipchart, totally reccomended!
