peter, thanks for all the praise. for those who don't know him, peter is great and sweet and supportive, and was this year's programming chair and last year's con chair overall!
BJ, Hope, AJ: yes, we really are doing something revolutionary. to the point that our guest professor, toni levi, is wanting us to write articles about it for our book. promulgating fanfic from the backburner to front and center in the con universe is a real passion for us, and *we are attaining that passion!*
and no worries, filkaeris. i figured fanfic bedtime stories would be one night (say, saturday) and then fanfic theater, the next: thus permitting one to segue into the other. like: you liked the fic i read? well get together with me and let's prepare to act it out!
now if only we can figure out where to put hope's MyST event.......yeah, we *better* stay on labor day weekend: fanfic alone is going to have enough entertainment to fill 3 evenings!

ps for those of you who don't know: john, last year's ops chair and this year's con chair for sakuracon, is giving my contact info to chris norman, head of programming for sakuracon, to see if whomever he has working on fanfic would like some assistance. i plan to keep kumoricon's innovations sacred to us; but if sakuracon were to copy anything from us and advertise its origins as us, that would only render us even more notorious as the vanguard in fanfic programming.
i am so proud of all of us! thanks especially to my steering committee: blackjack gabbiani, filk aeris, and hope nickel. and to additional panelist ket matsura.
and to peter and the rest of alto nimbus for being so supportive of our redefinition of fanfic programming!
love!
rem.
