Arisia panels
I seem to be writing like mad today, which is silly because as far as I know three or four people are probably all that are reading this - if that many (hi, guys). I should go to sleep. Oh well.
I got a letter from the Arisia convention recently asking me to confirm that I'd like to be a panelist again. I've been one every year for seven or eight years at least, so of course the answer was yes.
All too often I've forgotten to send in my confirmation, and been left out of the program book as a result; this time I made sure to send it in on time.
They also asked for suggestions on panels, and here are some of the ones I sent in:
RPGs
Authors
Media
Computer/Electronic Games
If anyone wants to suggest some other topics, incidentally, please let me know - I could always send in some more.
