It looks to me as though you are doing a great job with Dark Matter and congrats on the nominations YAY! I'm perplexed to why the SF community in Melbourne would not have heard of Continuum and/or any other SF conventions. I don't know a lot about fanzines so this could be the case of why the SF community haven't heard of them but from what I can see in Dark Matter these cons are being advertised. As a spec fic writer, and as far as I'm aware, the SF writing community are well versed with the cons both here in OZ and OS. I can't comment on the negative feedback you have been receiving as I'm a bit out of the loop on that, and not really into podcasts at present, but from my own experience I would ignore any criticism - unless constructive - because it really isn't worth your energy. Do what you love and do it with passion. I would only consider putting your time into something else if your love and passion is no longer there, otherwise ignore negativity and keep up the good work. :) Hi Nalini, thank you so much for stopping by and giving your comments.
