Many genres of fiction have ardent fans who hold conventions celebrating their favorite genre. It may be possible to attend a different science fiction convention every weekend of the year, and the number of mystery conventions isn't far behind. There are also conventions for fantasy, horror, and romance.
Maybe it's time to celebrate confessions.
I propose CONfession, where confession readers can learn all about the genre from the writers and editors who sin, suffer, and repent for the enjoyment of their readers.
Of course, none of the writers will be allowed to wear name badges because we are, and must remain, anonymous.
Imagine the panel discussions we could have:
"Sleeping with the Neighbor's Spouse: Honest, Honey, It was Just Research!"
and
"Contracting a Fatal Disease: Tragedy or Tax-Deductible Expense?"
Of course, during the annual banquet, we would present the Connies--awards for the best confessions of the year.
Ah, well, maybe I should stop day-dreaming and get back to writing...
