PulpFest 2012 reports

Most recent update: Aug. 18, 2014.

It must have been an exhausting PulpFest this year. It’s taking attendees a bit longer than usual to get their post-convention reports online. We’ll continue updating this post as new reports turn up.

For those of us who were unable to attend, checking out the reports and photos at least lets us virtually participate.
