Nghh. I think if I was one of the people who didn't get a pitch appointment, I'd be pretty pissed off.
At Writers' Weekend last year I ended up with one of the "pizza with an agent/editor" slots rather than a pitch session, which was probably of more real use to me at the time, given that I was as interested in getting advice about trying to sell m/m romance as in pitching it. But at least I *had* something to pitch, had I been lucky and got a pitch session. And I would have been most annoyed if I'd found out that someone had wasted a pitch slot with one of the editors I wanted to pitch to. For the love of God, you can and should do some checking on those agents and editors before you ever get to the conference, so you have some idea of who to annoy in the bar.
