A Challenge! - EDITED-

[callistra]

I dare all of you to submit four panel items to black_samvara

I've got one I'm working on already (10 Books) and later I'll explain why I am excited by the idea.

So I've got three more to go.

Any one up for the challenge?

A look at what we do, and then a bit more distribution between:
- Panels
- papers
- Discussions
- Activities
- Skill teaching/demonstrations
- workshops
- launches
- parties/celebrations
- gaming

I am up for it, except that my suggestions to her won't be panels. I want more interactivity damnit! A photographers workshop and such. :p

But yeah, I have lots of ideas fermenting in my head getting ready to pop out and terrify the world. :)

Well, I meant more than just panels. I am including:

Already beaten you to it.

And populated them, too!

Korval,Cooking,Biking,Art, and FGoH.

Simple, really. (Although I'll admit the last is a cheat...)

LOL
I'll let you guys submit more than four
:-)

Only four? Damn :-(

[callistra.livejournal.com]

I've added a list of things we can do.

And yeah, only four, so we can make sure all four are good ones.

4? I thought you said 5... anyway, done, done and done.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Yay! Now to not lose them in the next year!

1) Run a Singstar karaoke competition - with a good big screen and sound system;
2) Run a proper geek song/ tv & movie theme singalong;
3) Run a panel about furry movies (without any freaky stories about American Furs);
4) Run a panel where we get to lust over male characters; and
5) Have a 'write a story in 30mins' competition.

I would love to see a panel about furry fandom that looks at the genre more in depth than 'omg! can you believe they drew that??'--good idea.

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

I think we would have to leave Paul Kidd off the panel then. I have lost count of the number of Perth fans I have met who automatically assume I have sex in latex in lifts (for example) because I am furry. I ask them where they heard that and 99% of the time I can trace it back to a Paul Kidd 'this one time, at a furry con...' story. *grrrrrr*

[angriest.livejournal.com]

It's the equivalent of "all SF fans love Star Trek", only with sex.

[angriest.livejournal.com]

Only four?!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

4/2/1 baby!

[angriest.livejournal.com]

What's 4/2/1?

[babalon-93.livejournal.com]

I was wondering that myself. Four panels, two showers and one hour sleep?

[angriest.livejournal.com]

You can suggest four, be on two and complain about the existence of one?

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I like that too :p

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

It was mentioned by stephen_dedman - he said no more than 4 panels, no more than 2 per day and no more than one panel with guests.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Yup. Four extremely good ones from you.
:-)

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

Magical Mystery Hat the third!

[angriest.livejournal.com]

We've talked about it. I don't know yet. I have some broader ideas for this kind of thing and will probably suggest them to Swancon 2009 at some point.

[angriest.livejournal.com]

But if you average the number of panels I've suggested over the number of Swancons I've attended, surely if I'm already averaging *above* four in 2009 I can take a year off?

But I won't.
