Hello!  Arrow here!

Now that I finally dealt with issues in the dreaded First Life, I'm finally back here to handle panels for Anthrocon 2011!

We had a banner year at Fandom Track programming last year, and I'd like to see if we can repeat that, so feel free to start sending in all of your fandom-related and social panel submissions to and we'll see what we can work out!

I've started a few new policies since last year to streamline things and make sure we're all on the same page; if you don't recieve an email from me in five days, please feel free to resend it.  Also, you should recieve confirmations of any panel info you send to me.

Now, that said, let's get started! :>

Pardon, but I don't quite understand something here.

Could you perhaps give examples of what would be considered "Fandom-related" panels, and what would be considered "Social" panels"?

Fandom = generic subjects, e.g., fursuit techniques, drawing, writing, etc.

Social = species/location-specific, e.g., foxes Sticking out tongue, northeast, etc.

"Social" are obviously panels like "Canine rule!" where it's specifically about socializing, mixing, etc.

 

"Fandom" are panels that don't fall into any other track's subject (Gaming, Art, Fursuiting), but in some way are connected to or of interest to the fandom. (I'd expect that areas that generate lots of interest and regular panels will eventually spin off into their own tracks.) My own panels on Animal Spirituality and Therianthropy" and the "Therian/otherkin roundtable" fell under "Fandom". (They obviously weren't connected with any of the more specific tracks, but they were definitely of interest of the people who attended either.)

MOST AC ATTENDEES DO NOT WEAR A FURSUIT OR ANY KIND OF COSTUME.
