Four weeks until Wincon! I hope you all are as excited as I am. We've just posted the schedule, and while there is a ton of awesome stuff to be found this year, there are always topics that don't get submitted or things that become popular after the submission period ends.
And, of course, we want to give you the space to hang out and squee with other fans about whatever your heart desires, so this year we will be conducting flash panels! We are super excited to be able to give you space inside the Fandom Lounge to conduct impromptu small panels that run for 30 minutes each. These will be signed up for on a first come first serve basis, and can be about anything your heart desires.
Signups for flash panels are onsite only. To sign up you will have to visit the Fandom Lounge anytime after 5pm on Thursday. There will be sign-up sheets for the entire weekend. The Fandom Lounge will be available for flash panels during the following hours:
Friday: 12pm - 4pm
Saturday: 11am - 4pm
Sunday: 11am - 3pm
Of course, you are always welcome to host room parties or other gatherings, and we will have an announcement board where you can advertise those.
If you already know a topic you want to have a flash panel on, feel free to talk about it in the comments to this post to gauge interest and discuss potential time slots. We can't wait to see what awesome things you all come up with!
