Convention Programming
We were talking a lot yesterday about panels - ones we love, ones we hate, ones that bore us to tears. I was saying that more often than not, I prefer to be attending a panel that is aimed over my head so that I have to jump to catch up.
What panels have you seen done to death and that you never ever want to sit through again? Mine would probably have to be, "how can I get published?", "small press - is it on the brink/do we need/is small press threatened by online outlets/are there too many places to get published", "self publishing - good idea?", that kind of thing.
What about you? Hit me with topics and genres I am totally unfamiliar with - what anime panel should never be run again? What media panel has been beaten to death? What topics are overdone or insulting to the audience that will likely attend, etc?
