writercon:
Crossing the Red Sea: Editing, Revision, and Finishing Touches
After you type that last period and hit save, the fun's just begun. Whether it's fixing that pesky plot hole, looking for continuity throughout, or checking details of geography and plausibility, all fiction can use a little work. This panel will cover the topics close to every beta-reader's heart, and it just might help anyone who uses a beta-reader too.
Drinking from the Well of Souls: Writing Original Fiction
Fanfic brings us together, but many of us also enjoy writing about our own characters (or want to start). Get the scoop on avoiding the dreaded Mary Sue, building a believable environment for the characters to inhabit, and telling the stories that work best in a world of your own creation.
Beginnings, Middles and Ends: The Challenges of Longer Forms
Long, or novel-length, stories carry with them a set of challenges unique to the form - how do you open with a bang, keep the pace tight throughout and end with a satisfying conclusion? Our panel, made up of both writers and editors, will explore the techniques that make beginnings sharp and memorable, keep middles from bogging down and create logical endings that deliver on all their promises.
And it's less than two weeks away!!

My company is doing a big conference this summer & I tried to talk someone into doing open-captioning - it's helpful for the hard of hearing and non-native speakers of English, they can presumably be downloaded on the spot to ipods and laptops, plus you've got all those text files for the writing of abstracts. I think he wants to record and podcast, which is fine, but sort of misses the point on another level. Oh well. Accessibility is one of those things people still need to put conscious thought into.
And if there *are* recordings from your panels or Yin's other craft panels, I'd be happy to pay for a set.
