ETA: One Alt Programming topic added

Write-in topics: General/Meta
Female character stories: Halfamoon, Full Moon or Just Moony? F/f slash, and stories centered on shows’ female characters’ lives and interactions in general, are gaining visibility in fandom. Should f/f be like m/m, or is it intrinsically different? Is there something we can write about women that we can’t about men? Or vice versa?

The Organization for Transformative Works: Off the Ground and Starting to Soar!
Come hear about the latest developments in the OTW’s projects and discuss where you’d like to see it go next.

Write-in topics: Fandom-specific
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Who would you cast? Some parts of fandom have exploded in disgust at having an all-white live-action cast named for this Asian-look fantasy. How could it have been done better, or truer to the original? Would your ideal cast have known actors or new faces or both?

Instead of Fantasy Football, how about Fantasy Fandom…

Dollhouse: Will We Get to Have a Fandom? (topic previously suggested in panel survey, but does not appear here on the ballot. oops! sorry!)
Several episodes of Joss Whedon’s new show will have aired by the time we get to the con. Where is its potential, and what seems potentially problematic? Is it a show we want to be fannish about? If by some chance it’s already canceled, will we be dissecting what went wrong with the network, or dissecting how Joss went wrong with the story?

Write-in topics: Tech/Workshop
Photoshop panel
Must be Friday.

Write-in topics: Alt Programming/Video
Keep the Peace: Flashpoint pimping
A Canadian production also airing on CBS, Flashpoint offers gear porn, sniper porn, tough guys and gals who also have tender hearts, and a great seasoned vet slash pairing. Clips will be shown, a vid, and discussion of fic.

Have BBC_Merlin, will share if there’s interest! There may even be a clips show…

  1. Just wanted to add to the Panel Polling (there wasn’t an appropriate spot for this comment):
    The reason I didn’t rate ANYTHING higher than “may attend” is that I’ll be attending as a Dealer. Any panel attendance will depend on whether the ones I’d like to attend are scheduled during times when I won’t be setting up, packing out, or working the booth. Attending an evening function in costume is unlikely, in that I’ll probably not have time to dress up…
