Sinpozium 2015 - call for volunteers/suggestions

[erilyn]

It's less than 12 weeks until Sinpozium 2015, which means its time to talk about what we're gonna do! We need people to lead discussions, pimp fandoms, and suggest what do you want to happen at Sinpozium :) To jog memories, here's the 2014 draft timetable++ Doesn't have to be tv shows/movies, all types of source material welcome. While we

Maybe a panel about podcasts, including both scripted content (like Welcome to Nightvale) and discussion-type shows (such as Slash Report).

Oh, maybe a little thing on the gay gladiators in Spartacus?

I'd like to do a Penny Dreadful pimp, if I may? I might do a mini pimp for From Dusk Till Dawn, but, y'know... incest niche.

[erilyn]

That sounds great, thank you. If you decide you do want to do From Dusk Till Dawn, we'll just warn/schedule it so those who don't do incest can choose to avoid if they want. Post-Supernatural, I'm not sure how niche it is anymore in fandom ;)

[jk_rockin]

True, true. It'll be very mini- I'll probably just use one of their trailers, whack a couple of pictures on a PowerPoint, and point out that it's a good show, BUT pretty much all of the slash fic is incest.

[erilyn]

Hey, just following up as we're starting to rough up a timetable - you still on for doing Penny Dreadful and From Dusk Till Dawn? How long for each? :)

Slash pairing pimp for hockey RPF Tyler Seguin/Jamie Benn! ":D

[erilyn]

Thank you for volunteering, I feel Tyler "makes everything into gay porn by existing" Seguin is something everyone can enjoy.

[erilyn]

Hey babe, you still up for doing this at Sinpoz? How long should we be scheduling (starting to work on a timetable)?

[melpemone]

As requested, because erilyn is terribly old-fashioned:

I'd like to (tentatively) book the first session on the Saturday to run some kind of getting-to-know-you dorky statistics thing, similar to my one from a couple years back, only with better prep. :)

[erilyn]

I know, so old-fashioned of me ;p But that sounds awesome, thank you!

[erilyn]

We're starting to work on the timetable, just checking if you're still up for both this and the Locally Sourced Low Carbon Sustainable Slash Sources? How much time for each? :)

[annon_of_rhi]

Oh, and if it isn't too much hockey for everyone else, I was thinking there might be a fun game in some sort of "hockey or porn?" segment where you might have to guess between legitimate hockey commentary and lines from porn.

[erilyn]

I know I'd enjoy it, but it might be best as a short intro before your Tyler/Jamie bit? we'll have to see how time is :)
