misc. fandom stuff

1) I want to run a panel at Y-con this year.

I'm thinking what might be cool -- a panel on the differences between canon yaoi and inferred yaoi. Y'know, there are shows where the ghey is actually in the show, but the really popular fandoms seem to be the one where there's no outright ghei, and it's all put in there by the fans. Why is that? Discuss.

I think I could run a panel without much problem. Better at Y-con than some place like, say, Otakon, where there are sixty zillion people. Y-con is much more of a family atmosphere. (By which I mean, community, not little-kids family.) Whenever I go to panels at Y-con I end up talking almost as much as the panelist anyway. >_>;

I guess you have to apply... and stuff. Maybe the webiste would tell me more if it wasn't down.

2) I wanna cosplay Mosp from Sluggy Freelance at Otakon next year (or AX, if I don't go to Otakon.)

I seriously do. Unfortunately this will be very complicated and difficult. Why? Because Mosp is a giant snake-woman with snakes for hair. X_x I do not think my limited tailoring skills are up to this.

3) I have all this stuff and I want to distribute it places like MLs and LJ comms because I am a comment whore. unfortunately, I don't want to totally spam people and I can't think straight to coordinate it. *is scatterbrained*

Sorry about that. Systemically it's easier for me to handle them all at once so I know who has been accepted and who hasn't. No one ever gave me feed back that it was inconvient until Tales of Anime last year, and it was too late to fix it then. If you have ideas, suggestions, or questions, PLEASE let me know! I want to serve you better, but unless people tell me what I'm not doing well, I cant change it.

Oh, please don't apologize. I was able to get everything done in time, and I really had fun running the Prince of Tennis panel. I'd consider doing another panel, if I go to the con this year (I might not since I want to save money for a trip to Japan in 2006).

The only suggestion I'd have is to try to let people know a few months in advance, if possible, and it sounds like you've already got that planned. Compared to a lot of other cons, Yaoi Con has some of the best panels I've seen. ^___^
