Calls for Papers 2011

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

What a fantastic response to the Awesome Ladies booty call. You rock mightily yourselves, ladies!

So then. It's comparatively early days yet, but it's never too early to start hatching plots. So start thinking about any other presentations you might like to make. No commitment required now, but if you've got an idea you'd like to call dibs on, do it here, and avoid the rush. Also, if you have a suggestion you'd quite like someone else to take on (no guarantees) add that to the list too.

Basically there are a few categories here (no hard and fast rules):

1) Show Pimps -- is there an awesome new show (or a magnificent old one) that everyone should be watching? Let us know! Put together a few clips, or a basic primer (powerpoint, picspam etc) to advertise and convert the masses. [This includes media other than tv shows, natch.]

2) Ship Manifestos -- is there an OTP (or OT3 or...) that is oppressing fandom fairly leaping off the screen? Do likewise.

3) Panel Discussions -- everything you wanted to know and were afraid to ask. (You don't have to moderate, though you can if you'd like. Just chuck your questions down.)

Highlander -- China and I were talking about how odd it was no one's ever done such a classic fandom (for which several of you have worn the t-shirt to g/t!). Any old school fans want to cross this one off the list at last?

Re accommodation: dewey3067 has done a great job organising rooms at the Brentwood, which apparently are moving fairly fast, as predicted. The full details of the current group booking, including pricing etc, are in the last comment on that post, which will be edited to reflect current status. Go check it out, and confirm your details as appropriate. If you need to add yourself, please move quickly.
