Notable Fanworks

Convention Panels

  • Escapade 1995
    • Real Injury vs. Reel Injury/Safer Sex—led by Agnes and Christy, "Everything you always wanted to know, but up until now had no one to ask. If you're going to put the details in, shouldn't you get them right?"
  • Escapade 2001
  • Escapade 2002
    • Slash and the Media by Sharon Cumberland, Agnes T. (Who are these people and what are they saying about us? Compare notes on the ways in which the media are getting it right (or wrong) about slash fandom.)
    • Aging of fandom by Sandy K. Herrold, Agnes T. (Fandom is maturing. It's mellowing, it's reflecting, it's becoming so peaceful—until the upstart newbies come in, dagnabit! An intelligent setting for young fans to share enthusiasms, and oldtime fans to tell them why they should be seen and not heard.)
  • Escapade 2003
    • Buffy: Queering the Hellmouth by Sandy Justine, Agnes Tomorrow, Ins (Metaphors of otherness in BtVS.)
    • Buffy: Crazy Soulful Spike: Yay or nay? by Emma, Agnes Tomorrow
    • X-Files—Is the truth still out there? by JiM, Agnes Tomorrow (Is XF fandom 'really' dead? Has Scully done the autopsy? Or did CC mess up canon so badly that there is nothing left for us to work with (except some great characters, some of whom might be dead)?)
  • Escapade 2004
    • Too Good to Be True: Meaning of Lies in Smallville - Agnes Tomorrow, Tracy Lee, K'Kathy (Clark's every gesture is a lie, yet he is the ideal of goodness. How much do we distrust our own ability to tell good from bad? The Christ symbolism of Superboy was introduced in episode one; are we convinced our saviors are doomed if they reveal themselves to us?)
  • Escapade 2008
    • Boston Legal: Tweaking the Fandom by Agnes Tomorrow, Charlotte C. Hill (They know we’re watching, and we know it by all the fannish memes they’ve played with and twisted, with a sly wink, so even if we don’t necessarily want to see them naked and sweaty in the same bed (any more than they do!) it’s still fun to watch and talk about.)
  • Escapade 2012
    • Tumblr, Twitter, and Pinboard, Oh My (and GetGlue, too!), led by Franzeska, Agnes Tomorrow (In the past year, the ongoing fannish diaspora has picked up speed, as more fannish activity has moved away from LiveJournal and Dreamwidth, and onto sites like Tumblr and Twitter. And then there was the Delicious implosion. Now there's GetGlue, a social network specifically for entertainment. Let's talk about navigating these sites—their strengths and weaknesses, and how to use them.)
