Panels Suggested/Deadline Extended

Argh! I left the country, the deadline passed, and we only ended up with 18 panel suggestions! Some of them are fantastic, but eighteen panels will not an Escapade make. Therefore I’ve re-opened the panel ballot through Sunday 2/8 at noon (PST). Below the cut are the suggestions already received. Please go here to submit more topics (lots more topics!), and you can view the survey results here.

Suggest a panel!

It’s that time! We need to get the content for Escapade together, and that content comes from you (yes, you!). So please take a moment to go off to our survey page, and suggest one (or two or a dozen) panels that you’d like to see at Escapade 19. You can see what’s already been suggested by going here. We’ll updated this page with summaries as the suggestions roll in. Operators are standing by…

Panel Suggestions?

Okay, I get that I’m totally the cause, but I need to point out that we have a dearth of panel suggestions for Escapade 2008. Right now, we wouldn’t have to hold a ballot at all. I don’t think that’s the convention you want to attend. So, here’s what we have so far. If you don’t see your fandom represented (or the general topic you’re dying to discuss, or the workshop you can’t wait to lead) listed here, it’s up to you to suggest it. Remember, you don’t have to lead the panels you suggest (though that does often make things easier). Here are the panel suggestions received so far:
