Got a new fandom to pimp? (Someone must, surely...)

Got an old fandom to reminisce about? (Inevitable Smallville Renaissance anyone???)

Got a hot topic to discuss? (Mod it yourself if you want, demand suggest someone else do so if you prefer.)

Got a character that everyone would love if they only knew them? (Or someone we already love but would enjoy being reminded about?)

Got a vaguely fannish game to play?

Please volunteer in comments to this post, or @ or DM me on twitter.

THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Also, shihadchick has asked me to draw your attention to this Pictionary Farming poll: https://t.co/vzr8PT16du, so please go forth and submit.

Lastly, a reminder that there was considerable interest expressed last year in "two minute pimps" (which in practice, I think, means "single digit minute pimps" at your own discretion). So if you've never presented before but would like to try in the most low-pressure way imaginable, or you have several small things you'd like to introduce but not bother doing a full presentation on, then please put your hand up for as many or as few as you'd like, and I will sort them into some kind of thematic structure.

Please also feel free to think outside the box -- last year we had a couple of quite "different" presentations, in the form of historical/literary primers, art and audio presentations, etc. The official g/t17 definition of fannish content (by V fiat) is "friends and fellow fangirls will be interested in seeing/hearing this". So seriously, go wild.

Would love to pimp Rivers of London, now with actual official visual content because comics*!

*the comics vary highly in quality but at least some of the art is nice

Be like Steve? Which one?

hedges bet and crashes a plane

I've got the Supergirl pimp (about 20 minutes) if desired, and I can put together a hands on heads/bum quiz if you think it might be useful. Pondering minipimps...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I'll take 15 minutes to do the Bright Sessions and ... maybe 5 minutes on Stardew Valley?!

[aworldinside.livejournal.com]

Put me down for 15minutes for The Adventure Zone. :)

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

I hope to be able to contribute a Wonder Woman thing and also to help out on K's Adventure Zone thing. Fingers crossed. :D

[blademistress.livejournal.com]

I have Quantum Break (video game) - Jack/Paul which is 10 mins, could be 15 with talking. And Dirk Gently's Detective Agency (general show, some Dirk/Todd) which will be is 30 mins.

I recently relived my teen years and re-watched all of Star Trek TOS. I'm sure that a half an hour would cover a very broad and very shallow recap of ST fandom with particular attention to the Kirk/Spock, if you need something to fill a space.

Have we done Dark Matter?

And has anyone asked whether Danny Rand is in fact the worst Iron Fist ever - just joking, this would have to be on the extremely short side of a 2 minute thing (I can't call it a pimp). Or it could be Defenders.

Sorry, I thought I'd replied to this, but lj obviously ate it! Do you still want to do this?

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

My fault - it was out of alignment. I don't think I'll have time/energy now - all burnt up in prep for the weekend show - maybe in the two-minute pimps?

Hey, I have completely been discombobulated the last fortnight, so take me off the list. Sorry for the short notice. :-(

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

No worries. I've had a nutso couple of weeks too.

[china_shop]

I'll do something Kdrama related, tbd.

[jocondite.livejournal.com]

I want to way overcommit myself and I know I can't. I am going to keep myself to TWO pimps only - Pod Save America, and either SKAM or Vikings. Or Cambridge Spies. I promise I will hard-commit to whether the second slot will be SKAM/Vikings/ Cambridge Spies when I've put the PODSA one together and seen how much time I have for another. I'm assuming I will need half an hour for each but again - let me update after this weekend.

Also single-digit minute pimps... I'll be in touch.

first slot = Pod Save America. Subtitle: The Obama Boy Band.
second slot = SKAM. Subtitle: [cries in Norwegian].
