Live-tweeting/blogging Escapade programming!
We are going to experiment with live-tweeting/blogging Escapade panels and events as a volunteer position. We hope that it will be fun for people to look back at how panels unfolded in real time, and also be a window into the convention for people who aren’t able to attend. We are open to all platforms: twitter, tumblr, Instagram, LJ/DW, whatever. As with all other volunteer positions, if you contribute five or more hours (in this case, live-tweet/blog five or more panels), you will be automatically registered for next year’s convention with a $10 credit.
If you’re interested in participating, we’ve created a google sheet, listing all of the panels and other events. Put your name in the cell for the hours you want to claim. We’d like to see coverage of as many events as possible, extra credit for multiple points of view on a single panel/event. Here’s the sheet: https://tinyurl.com/LiveBlogEscapade
Escapade live-tweet/blog guidelines:
- Anything said in panels/functions is fair game
- NEVER include anyone’s name (you could substitute mod1, mod2, or fan A, fan B)
- Don’t post photos of people as part of the live tweet stream, since it’s a semi-official channel
- Do post photos of the flip chart sheets at the end of the panel
- Do post photos of yourself if you want
- Outside the livestream time, it’s great to post people photos per Escapade photo guidelines (that is, with the explicit permission of everyone in the photo)
Here are a couple of “how to” live tweet articles:
