I was at the Maid Libs panel for the fan creation room this year and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I wrote one of the three or four drabbles that were hastily written and then filled in much to the amusement of everyone. I think that this was an interesting and fun idea, but I do have a few suggestions to make it better and run much more smoothly next year!
- Have drabbles already written and copied so that it's easy to fill them out during the panel and there isn't any waiting.
- Have drabbles to fill in available during the con, just for fun.
- Possible contest -> best mad lib form.
- Possible contest -> best filled-in mad lib (funniest or something *shrugs*).
- Better advertise the fact that you should bring drabbles to fill in to con.
Mainly I think people (including me) expected that you would have the mad lib books and then you filled them in with anime/ manga related things, however the drabble idea is much better.
I would be willing to write drabbles for various fandoms to be filled in at the con. And I'm sure I know some other fan-fic authors that would be willing to write some as well.
