And heckling and puns. He was a defining part of my early years at #DragonCon. 🥰

Bryan Young @swankmotron.com · Aug 29

Sadly, I don't have any @swatdc.bsky.social events today, but I do have one related event today. I'm teaching the Aaron Allston Memorial Kids Writing Workshop.

Something to know about Aaron. There were three things he loved:

1 - Writing
2 - Teaching
3 - Dragon Con
