I just saw this posting after spending a few minutes looking for one of your Williams reviews (I just read War in Heaven - brilliant!). If I hadn't been belabored by GRE studies for the past couple months I would have loved to submit to this. Perhaps next year, by which time I will have likely read the rest of Williams' works and spent more time in Mallory.
Jenica: The deadline to submit an abstract has been extended to Feb. 1st: http://theoddestinkling.mymiddleearth.com/2013/10/12/inklings-and-arthur/. Please submit!
