Escapade panel voting results: https://escapadecon.net/programming/panels/panel-voting-results/

Check out the voting results so far and the write-in panels that have been suggested, then use the button at the bottom of that page to submit your own write-in suggestions.

Three write-ins so far:

Slash, through the Eyes of Escapade (Tech/Workshop track)
This is a workshop panel to begin to capture the history and/or nature of slash as seen by Escapade attendees.

Reality TV: “Unscripted” Guilty Pleasures (General/Meta track)
From all sorts of competitions to living in extreme situations to partner swapping, reality TV has given us years of fodder for fic and conversations. Come discuss the outrageous, the too-setup-to-be-believed, and everything in between.

What happened at TGIF/F (General/Meta track)
Folks who were at our neighbor-convention bring us up to speed on what we missed!

And don’t forget to vote before midnight PST, January 25!

Almost 100 panels were suggested in 4 categories. This is your time to winnow down this abundance of ideas and topics by voting for panels you plan to attend and/or know you want to see.

Start now, finish later.

Roll over a title to see the panel description. Start voting today, contemplate, talk to your friends and pool your votes, and log back in later to finish voting and/or make revisions to your ballot. (This works for removing your vote too if later you think, “Nah, that sounded good but I won’t really go.”) If you decide later that you should have volunteered to co-mod a panel, go back and update your ballot. You have until midnight PST, January 25, to lock in your answers.

We even have a write-in option, where you can add that last-minute, brilliant topic you just thought of. If it’s catchy enough, we’ll add it to the main schedule.

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

Sunday
Noon: When Good Men Love Anti-Heroes
What 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.

Hello Escapade Members,

Our programming schedule is now available to view on our website! Please check it out and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Only a little over two weeks til the con!

escapade_team

The Escapade Genius Lounge is open for sign-ups. As in years past, people who Know Things volunteer to show people who Don’t Know Things how to use social media tools, e-readers, and computer technology.

Are you a mistress of Pinterest? Tumblr? Are you a vidder willing to share your tricks of the trade? Do you know other new social media platform(s) or tools like mention.com to find out where your fandom is playing? This is your opportunity for you to share what you know with other fans who really want to learn. You will be able to select the hour(s) you’d like to volunteer after you have seen the panel schedule, so you won’t miss any con event you want to attend.

If you would like to volunteer, please email Ellie at ellie@escapadecon.net and tell her what you feel proficient at. (Remember, many fans are Luddites and will be grateful if you show them where the “login” button is. You’re probably more of a genius than you think.)

Ellie will contact you after the panel schedule is posted, and help you decide what sign-up hours to choose.
