| Friday 4:00 pm: Pick Your Poison: Standalone, Trilogy, or Series (Ends at: 4:55 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Bjorn Hasseler, Cathy Green (M), Joshua Palmatier, Mark Roth For reader and writer alike, there are strong opinions on the value of a story that is one and done versus settling into a universe and its characters for a while. Panelists discuss the benefits and challenges of each. When do you know that a story wants to be one or the other? Does writing individual stories set in the same universe count as a series? Are duologies becoming more common? |
| Friday 8:30 pm: 30 years of Babylon 5 (Ends at: 9:25 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Bjorn Hasseler, Doc Coleman, Jennifer R. Povey (M), Perrianne Lurie, Scott H. Andrews It's been 30 years since Babylon 5 debuted. It is still considered a seminal science fiction show that paved the way for modern space operas on TV such as Farscape, the Battlestar Galactica reboot, and The Expanse. Panelists will discuss the show, its impact, and their favorite characters and plots. What was innovative at the time? What aspects of the show still resonate? |
| Saturday 2:30 pm: A Little Perspective: POV in Fiction (Ends at: 3:25 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Bjorn Hasseler, Charlie Jane Anders, Jean Marie Ward, Michael A Ventrella (M), Scott H. Andrews Who tells your story is as important as how it is told and what is in it. Changing the point of view can completely transform how a story is received. Panelists discuss options for experimenting with perspective, how to know what is most effective for a story, and why styles such as second-person are worth your consideration. |
