Going to GeekGirlCon? Want to be on a panel?
Hey fandom geeks,
My panel on transformative fandom has been accepted by GeekGirlCon, but I need a few people to fill it out. We'll be talking about transformative fandom and why we participate in it.
Looking for fans who:
- Identify as a geek
- Reasonably sure about being able to attend in Seattle, October 19-20
- Participate in a majority-female fannish community centered around the kind of transformative fanworks where we're often asked, "why would you want to do that instead of creating something 'original'?"
And since I'd like to represent a diversity of opinions and identities in the panel, it's a bonus if any of these areas that are not represented yet on the panel apply to you:
- Fanartist
- Podficcer
- In fandoms outside of western movies, TV, and books
- Person of color
- Trans*
- Genderqueer
- In organized fandom for 15+ years
- Femslash, het, or not a shipper
- Lesbian-identified
Admission to the con is $35 and for people who are participating I can provide some financial assistance if necessary. Also planning on organizing some fannish social gatherings at the con.
If you're interested, please reply ASAP! I'm technically supposed to have my roster set by June 15th. Comments are screened in case you'd like to leave an email address or other contact info -- if you don't seem to have any private information in your comment I'll unscreen unless you ask me not to.
