MediaWest UNCLE Panel

Since I thought it was a shame that there were only 2 UNCLE panels listed for MW this year, I wracked my brains and came up with a new topic at the last minute. I've heard back from the Programming people that they've accepted it, though it isn't showing on the website list of topics yet.

The topic is:
A. Television: Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Espionage Plot, Character Study or Romance. Slash or gen, what kind
of U.N.C.L.E story do you most like to read or write?

The topic was inspired by a continued conversation I've been having with a (non-UNCLE) fannish friend (hi [livejournal.com profile] stormheller) about how much slash can be considered part of the Romance tradition. (Stormy says she's writing more romance; me, I'm usually, though not always, thinking about the action genre end of things.) I think the same thing dichotomy exists in gen, and since I always like seeing the two wings of UNCLE mix, I included both types of fanfic in the description.

My next goal is to get a few people signed up on the panel with me. So, for the UNCLE types on my flist, if you're at all interested in this, and you're going to be at MW, it would be awesome to have you on the panel.

The instructions for signing up are here

Sigh. I was planning on swearing off MFU panels this year, although I will still do both my writing panels.

I guess it depends upon when it's scheduled and if you're desperate for a panelist.

Don't feel pressured. Sith's going to sign up, and Linda's volunteered, so I think we're good.

I'm looking forward to your writing panels this year. I took a couple of years off them, but I think it's time to go back and be inspired. (No pressure. *g*) Plus, [livejournal.com profile] stormheller loves them, so we can sit together and be your groupies.

I'll sit in your audience if you sit in mine :)
