Time is almost up to submit panel ideas for WisCon!
laceblade has a brainstorm post up for anime/manga panel ideas, and I'd still like to do a panel on Snow White, but feel I should try to make it a bit more specific. It'd be easy to come up with a panel discussion along the lines of "what is it about Snow White that grabs us so much that there are about 10 filmed versions in the US alone* in the last 15 years, not to mention countless books and fairy tale mashups like The 10th Kingdom and Once upon A Time** structuring their plots around the Snow White tale."
Something that general would probably get attention, but could easily end up negative, so I'd like something a little more specific (and, after a few experiences last year, filled with panelists I know. Other than that, I only plan to volunteer for anime/manga panels unless something grabs me, and that's a fairly small group to draw from.)
Anyone want to help brainstorm, here or in IMs?
*I'm counting TV movies
**Unpopular opinion, but while there are problems, I feel the show is strongest when focusing on the Snow White plot, and the subplots closely related, such as Red Riding Hood and Abigail's plots, and the further it gets from that (especially the Rumples stuff) the more my attention drifts.
