4th Street Fantasy: 2016 Final Panel List

UPDATED: June 2, 2016

Hello, 4th Streeters!

White smoke has gone up from the chimney of the 4th Street Chapel, and we have a final panel list.

Remember, the 4th Street panel structure is one programming track of ten pre-built panels, followed on Sunday by the alchemically generated "...But That's a Different Panel!"

FRIDAY

•Truth, Lies

Sounds fantastic!

I'd especially love to be a fly on the wall for the "Disability in Speculative Fiction" panel -- as a reader who lives with disability and chronic pain, it's always good (although sometimes agonizingly-familiar to read) when authors Get It Right.

(Lois McMaster Bujold is one of my favorites in this regard -- she's written a number of disabled or differently-abled characters, and their various struggles and adaptations feel very real and authentic, even when there are compensations of future-medicine or magic that don't exist in the real world.)

It's nice to see you pop up! Hoping things are going as well as possible for you :)

Cheers,

This looks really good, Scott.

The ones I particularly like are:
•Writing as a Light Trance State
•Writing to strength, Writing to weakness
•Large-scale structures and Series Planning
•Voice vs. Character
•Truth, Lies, and Meta
•Implied ideology and narrative convention

I also had another idea for a panel: "Steven Brust: Saint or Savior?" What do you think? Too emo?

Those are some great panels.

As a person with a chronic illness everyone avoids, I'll be interested to see what is included in the disabilities panel.

These look delicious. I especially want to plan to be in the front rows to hear

•Writing as a Light Trance State
•Writing to strength, Writing to weakness
•Large-scale structures and Series Planning
•Voice vs. Character
•Truth, Lies, and Meta
•Implied ideology and narrative convention

These look great! And if panelists are needed on Dig Two Graves or Multi-Creative Household, I have at least a little experience with both.
