One of the things Wiscon asks for, when a person fills out the program participant questionnaire, is a short biography (for the program book) and a long one (for the Website). I did a short one, and think there's still time for a long one, if I have anything useful or relevant to add. If I don't, they'll use the short one in the program book.

The short bio reads: "Vicki Rosenzweig is a longtime Wiscon attendee. She was a Tiptree juror, and found the reading and discussions rewarding though sometimes exhausting. She conducts much of her social life online."

What else should I add, given that this is a biography of me for a feminist science fiction convention (rather than a CV, mortgage application, dating service, or a high school or college reunion)?

I'm guessing it's not too late to send a long biography, but the question seems potentially interesting even if it is.

Good question. I think what you have places you well in the WisCon context; anything else might work as expanding horizons (what people think of you in particular or WisCon members more generally). You could always list your various fan communities. It's tough to describe oneself without resorting to labels, though (which can be good or bad, depending on how well you like labels).

This is the first year I've had any sort of description at all; it's very brief.
