Traditions of ArmadilloCon
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, an
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, instigated by Chairs A.T. Campbell III and Lori Wolf. The workshop is held during the day on the Friday of the convention, with a Writers' Track of sessions available during the rest of the weekend.
