Panel Cut Is Up!
Feb. 7th, 2013 11:07 pm2013 Panel Cut
This is it! Based on the panel ballot, here is the list of panels that will most likely make the final Escapade schedule. Why most likely? Two reasons. 1) there are some panels where we don’t have anyone who volunteered to lead. Without a leader, we will not place a panel on the schedule. So, if you’d like to save one of the orphan panels (marked with **), drop us an email and let us know.
There were also some cool write-in topics. If you’d like to promote one of the write-in topics over the voted on topics, let us know by filling out this survey:
http://escapadecon.net/write-in-panels
Finally, this is not the end. We will be contacting leaders over the weekend, then creating the schedule. Once the schedule is created, we’ll throw open the remaining slots for more alternate programming & video sign-ups.

How Do Vids Work?
Let’s talk about what makes a slash vid work. Obviously some vids are Bring Your Own Feels — they work because of pre-existing emotional attachments: set our boys (or girls) to a song we love and we’re happy. But what are the things that a vidder does that make a vid especially compelling? What makes a vid memorable (in a good way)? What distinguishes the vids that inspire deep love, the ones we watch over and and over and want to make all our friends watch, from the vids we enjoy once and then forget? Let’s talk about these things with reference to a couple of specific vids (chosen ahead of time with input from likely attendees), see what strategies, commonalities, and differences we can identify, and then open up discussion to additional favorites from the audience. Leaders: here’s luck and renenet
An Archive for Meta
Why are there so few archives for meta? (What archives are there?) Should AO3 encourage meta like it encourages art and vids? Is meta a “fanwork?” Share your favorite meta articles & blog posts, talk about what could work and what doesn’t for a meta-focused archive.

Fandom-specific Write-in Topics:
Grimm
What will happen when Nick finds out his Captain is not only Wesen, but a Royal as well. What will be Renard’s role once he’s come out of the closet as it were? Will he and Nick still be able to work together,and what role will Hank take? Let’s discuss before the show restarts in March. Maybe we’ll come up with a better outcome!
DCU Comics Timeline
Try to sort out what-happened-when, what’s been retconned away, what fanon has decided to add or ignore. Bring examples of the core elements you think are essential to the DCUverse and we’ll try to put them in some kind of order. Don’t bother bringing a pocket fan; the handwaving should cool the whole building. Burn Notice: no respect at all. Matt Nix has done the impossible: kept a guy/girl relationship fresh and hot for years of TV shoot ‘em up, and shown us vivid and hilarious jealousy between the girlfriend and the boyfriend (okay, best friend). They even added a new hot guy in the 4th season? So why, in the hell doesn’t this show have a more active fandom? Seriously.

I’d love to see some discussion of the current season of Glee, but I don’t have a pithy title or a focus for a panel, and I’m not even sure I want something as formal as a panel. I just want people to commiserate with. Possibly this is a room party thing, but hey, I’m throwing it out there.
