Ahem. Yes. I am terrible about updating. BUT. I figured it might be handy if I listed somewhere which panels I'm on at Nine Worlds THIS WEEKEND OMG HOW IS IT SO SOON. Don't believe the schedule - there's a small back-end issue with one of my panels, where I had to turn one down due to a clash but the listing still has me down on the turned down one. Woops!
So, if you want to see me be geeky, here's where you can find me:
Friday, 3.15pm: Writing Superheroes
Join Emma (signe_chan), Ollie, and I as we discuss writing superheroes in our fic. The ins and outs, the interesting aspects to explore, the way fic explores superpowers. However you define superheroes and superpowers, whether it's DC/Marvel or Buffy, this is the panel to be at.
Friday, 5pm: WILD SPECULATION: Star Trek
Round-table speculation about the movies and the forthcoming TV series. The wilder the idea, the better!
Saturday, 11.45am: History of Femslash
Llyn, Cleo, Roz Kaveny and I will be talking about femslash and its history, discussing where it began, where we all began in it, and how it has changed over the years. Whether you're new to femslash or an old hand, this is a panel for you! Wanna know what the first written femslash pairing probably was? Or what in heck a Xena Uber was? (And why so much lesbian fiction from the early 2000s looks suspiciously Xena-like?) Audience participation is encouraged and we'll be trying to put together an actual timeline on a large piece of paper during the panel.
Sunday, 9am: Why we love femslash
Despite the early hour, this is a celebration panel! Why do we love femslash? What are the tropes and stories we adore? Come and spend 45 minutes squeeing with Llyn, Cleo, and I about the joys of f/f romance in our favourite shows, books, and movies. There's only one rule: the phrase "femslash is better than dudeslash because..." is outlawed :-D

Date: 2016-08-09 05:27 pm (UTC)My current plan is to go to Worldcon next year, but it depends a lot on when my sister's wedding is. If WC can't happen, I'll look at the 9W dates to see if that fits. They're both going to be great cons, so I don't envy your choice!
