Some programme participant types that #Eastercon could do with more of:
- Filkers! Eastercon used to have loads and now we have fewer, and we would love to have you back and give you programme items
- People of Colour! Geekdom can trend white, and we would like to try and reduce that echo chamber effect a bit. Please come & have a platform at our convention
- Younger fans! Fandom is an intergenerational culture, and it's important we hear from younger people as well as long-established fans.
@ZiGraves I am, alas, in Germany, but if you plan a virtual filk session I am available to host, participate, whatever!
@soniafocke ooh, that's actually viable!
We've tested quietly at a few conventions, and actually hosted a morning flash fic & filk session via zoom at a live con earlier this year. It would be lovely if you'd like to join Conversation and host a filk session!
@ZiGraves Oh, cool! How do I do this? I would be up for flashfic as well if you want the same format.
@soniafocke There's a link to the con in my bio, or our reg page is here: https://registration.conversation2023.org.uk/
online membership is included with 'supporting' and costs half what a full attending membership does.
Just tick the "interested in programme" bits when you join, and I can add you to our programme items!
