valarltdI've been thinking on panel topics, kinda brain storming with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jkb. I am excited about real discussions. I plan a weekend in geek-paradise.
There's a couple I would like to see but can't think how to propose.
Is fandom corrollated with lesbianism, Aspberger's, an unnurtured inner life as a child and high intelligence?
And one on realistic sex in slash fic. I mean how many panels open with the question "Who here can deep throat?" followed by "Who's had anal sex? Enjoyed it? Does it regularly?" (no show of hands needed)
Menfen and femmefans: Gender differences in fannish expression.
jkb wants to do one on PerilFic, where great attention is paid to the set-up capture and taunting, but not a lot of rape, battery and broken bones. I think it's a great idea.
PerilFic is not my cuppa, since I feel that if the villains have gone to such great lengths, they deserve to carry out their plan rather than being robbed at the last moment. but that's just my sadistic streak shining through like a day-glo madonna on the dash of a 55 Chevy.
I'm swamped for this year on prep. Next year there will be music vids. Maybe even "Along Came Jones" (an Indy vid) Must finish with Darren's afghan so I can get cracking on the fan one. On the 11th square of 77.

Date: 2003-02-26 07:56 am (UTC)It'd be interesting to do a panel on "women who thought they were straight till they got into fandom." Is it only slash fandom that does it, or fandom in general? I have a theory (don't I always? *g*) about why fandom may be an ideal environment for discovering lesbianism or bisexuality. But whether the women who are drawn to fandom tend, more than others, to be oriented that way -- I don't know. Obviously there are lots of straight women in fandom, but proportionally, straight women aren't the overwhelming majority the way they seem to be in the outside world. It'd be fun to talk about why that might be.

I think it's tied in with the high intelligence thing myself.
