Hi Escapade Members!
A few new tidbits of information on alternate programming:
- Alternate programming has been added to the online schedule. List below. There are still a few spots “available” on the schedule. They’re up for grabs!
- Orphan Panel: We need some stuff… (aka the lube panel) We are very sad that the original mod is not able to attend. She’s willing to share her notes if someone will adopt this panel. Time: Sunday 11 AM (after the art auction)
Friday
11 AM: Vikings: Faith, Assimilation, and Slash
Athelstan’s story has become a surprisingly complex and compelling one: a story of conflicted faith, cultural assimilation, and some incredibly intense slashy (and OT3) content. Mod: Christy
Noon: Loki: You Don’t Have to be Good Friends For The Sex To Be Great
Who is your favorite pairing when it comes to the God of Mischief? Fanfic writers have paired him with every one of the Avengers, as well as Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, and even Dr. Doom, and then scoured Norse mythology to find even more pairings. Let’s discuss what your favorite kink is when it comes to the God of Tricks. Is he a Jotun war prize, a haughty Asgardian Prince with designs on his brother or Sleipnir’s mum? Mods: Catalena Mara, Tenaya
2 PM: Star Wars Fzzzt Whooooom!
Star Wars is Coming! Episode VII is this December – share the buzz, what have you heard, what are your favorite things about the Star Wars universe, what do you want to see or not see. Why do we love Star Wars and where do we think it will go after the new movie? Mod: Katbear
Saturday
9 AM: Games with the Professionals
Professionals Against Humanity and Pros Bingo Mod: Kris -KrisserCI5
11 AM: Captain America
Let’s talk about the biggest fandom of 2014 and the riches it gave us–the epic and tragic nearly century-long love affair of Steve and Bucky, the introduction of Sam into Steve’s life, Steve’s developing relationship with Natasha, or anything else we love about Cap2 (and Cap1, of course!). Mod: gwyneth
6 PM: Fans & Trauma
Discussion group for fans dealing with trauma in their life (RL, not characters who we love to traumatize). Just show up and share. Or listen. Mod: fashes ilia
SundayNoon:
When Good Men Love Anti-HeroesWhat is it about good guys and the bad boys that they love? I see on AO3 a resurgence in the classic first-time story how, after Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Bucky finds Steve again. Do they live in an apartment? Do they go on the road? How does Steve help Bucky with his PTSD? What are your favorite reads for this trope, and what ideas do you have as to how this would come about. Mod: Lovesrain44
Description of the lube panel:
Sunday 11 AM (proposed time): ‘We need some… stuff…’
Stuff! We know what they are talking about: lube! But do we know what we are talking about? Do we want to know more? Come along and get your hands… er… wet, as we investigate the different alternatives available and what our protagonists might think of them (if they were even available for them). Complete with what happens when you mix and match, and dubious speculation on historical alternatives. Anecdotal personal experience greatly encouraged. Samples welcomed. Tissues provided.
