Meta Till You Drop!
We love talking about our fandoms. We also love talking about why we love our fandoms and why we love Fandom. That's why at every con you'll find discussion panels, and Pacificon 2010 is no exception! Check out the schedule.
Here at pacifi_cant , we can meta (yes, it's a verb now) with the best of them. So we thought we might host some discussion panels of our own. Here's how it works:
- I will list the topics being discussed at Pacificon below.
- You can claim one of the topics as your very own, and write a post about it. The post can be as long or as short as you like.
- You post your meta on the day it's being discussed at Pacificon, i.e., Saturday or Sunday. NOT BEFORE!
- People can drop into your post and chat away to their hearts content.
