This group is the official Heinlein Society space on Lemmy. Feel free to post and discuss RAH's life and works, and just about anything else related. I'm not trying to keep it too strictly on-topic, this space can be similar to The Heinlein Forum on Facebook or r/heinlein on Reddit (I'm moderator there, too). We can also post funny stuff like we do on The Heinlein Society's Facebook page.

The "no current politics" thing is because of our non-profit status, any questions can be directed to [email protected].

Major conventions:

  • Worldcon 3 Denvention Guest of Honor speech – 1941
  • Worldcon 19 SeaCon Guest of Honor Speech – 1961
  • Rio de Janeiro Movie Festival Guest of Honor – 1969
  • Worldcon 34 MidAmerica Con Guest of Honor speech – 1976

All of the Guest of Honor Speeches are published in the Requiem collection edited by Dr. Yoji Kondo, as well as in the Requiem volume of the Virginia Edition.

In addition, Heinlein was guest of honor at a number of smaller conventions for which his remarks were often not preserved. In 1976 and 1977 he accepted many such offers as part of his campaign to recruit new blood donors, but when his health deteriorated in 1977 he was forced to cease the practice.
