So I lost the acting panel, but I was really looking forward to the reading and, well, maybe next time.


Reading: Good Reads, Chocolate, and Scotch

Saturday, 1:00-2:15 P.M.
Conference2

Kristine Smith
Gregory Frost
Pat Murphy
Carol Emshwiller


Title: Let's Build a World

"We'll start with some categories (tech level, economic system, climate, races, etc.), get ideas about each of them from the audience, select the best ideas in each category, then watch the panelists writhe as they try to figure out how to make them work together. "
Sunday, 1:00-2:15 P.M.

Your blog
I really don't get this. But about your reading, well, good luck on that. Acting is a lesser fun than reading :3

and to the let's build a world part, i don't understand ir. Are you making a play, writing a story, or something related? Maybe a song or a poem?

Re: Your blog
I assume we're building a world for use in a story.

Worldbuilding coolness! Might be a kicky thought for a future con to do this in combo with a charity auction of the title of a short story set on said world - written a la extemporaneous speech competition?

Ok, perhaps that's too much on one buncha panelists?

Do you or any of your cousins-in-having-been-published ever enjoy that sort of thing? (not the worldbuilding panel - the "write something in a compressed timeframe collaberatively" thang).

I've seen riffed stories generated by a panel in realtime at a LosCon and a couple of others, but it takes a panel that actually can and are willing to handle it.

I've never worked out a story during a panel. I think it would be a challenge to work out the world and write a story in 75 minutes.
