I'm just a copycat without the cut tags.
I found Melle's list so interesting that I thought I might as well keep track as I voted. In some cases, you really need the descriptions to know what the heck the panel's about.
Escapade Panels I Will Attend:
Note to Soo and other interested parties: Although I did not say "Will Lead" for the DamonAffleck panel, I will lead or help lead it if you need/want me to.
Escapade Panels I May Attend:
Digression: One of my Escapade notes says, "Take scorecards! a la Celeste in the City," but that would really only be fun if Sky were going, so it'll have to wait for some other year.
The potential problem I see with me actually enjoying some of these is that while I might want to discuss the universe, I might not necessarily be interested in the slash. Like Jeremiah, for example. I love the show, but I'm just not interested in reading/discussing fic for it.
Of course, it looks like this might be a trend larger than just me. The description of Jeremiah: Science Fiction or Theological Renaissance? doesn't actually have any mention of slash or fic in it. Similarly there's Lost: Theories Anyone? Which is partially to illustrate my point and partially to digress: I watched an episode of Lost on, um, Tuesday? Whatever day it's on. Is that a typical episode? Because if it is, I'm not sure I see what the fuss is about. It seemed pretty unremarkable to me. Perhaps it's more fascinating if you've been watching since the beginning.
