Windycon

I received my schedule for Windycon (http://www.windycon.org/) yesterday. I’m on three panels:

Saturday

11:00

Heathrow: A Distant Backwater of the Internet: YouTube, and LJ and
Locus. There’s a lot more to the internet than the popular sites. Come
and learn about the small backwaters that are tucked away but provide
browsing gold to those lucky enough to strike it rich. D. Kuczwara, J.
O’Neill, L. Thomas, M. Thomas

3:00

Narita A: Across the Mediaverse: Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer was
introduced in 1992, it has had a life as a movie, a television series,
and now as an officially sanctioned “Season 8” comic. This discussion
will look at its various incarnations, what they’ve taken from each
other and how they’ve, of necessity, changed. D. Levin, S. Lyn-Waitsman,
N. Rest, A. Rosenwarne, M. Thomas

Sunday

Noon

Michigan: What Makes Doctor Who?: From William Hartnell to David
Tenant, the ten primary actors to play the Doctor have manages to make
the role their own. What are some of the commonalities that keep the
