Clip 'n Save Guide to Sherlock Programming at MediaWest*Con 31

[penfold_x]

I am thrilled to see a number of Sherlock panels on the final grid for this year's MediaWest*Con! Unfortunately, I haven't seen any premiering fanzines advertised, but I have high hopes for the vid competition.

FRIDAY
2-3pm, University 1: Sherlock Holmes: An enduring legend. From Conan Doyle through Rathbone and Brett to Downey and Cumberbatch – why Sherlock Holmes still captivates us.
3-4pm, University 1: Sherlock H/C Recs: Sharing your favorite Sherlock H/C fanfics.
4-5pm, University 4: Sherlock: Autistic, sociopathic, or just rude?
5-6pm, University 1: Benedict Cumberbatch: With a name like Cumberbatch, he has to be good!
[Video premieres at 8pm]

SATURDAY
5-6pm, Ballroom C: Sherlock: It was like the miniseries was written just for us! What pushed your buttons about the modern day reboot of the world's greatest detective?

SUNDAY
12-1pm, Ballroom D: Sherlock: Welcome to the 21st Century, Mr. Holmes. Was Sherlock made to live in the information age? (/)
4-5pm, University 3: Sherlock: General discussion.

I'm particularly excited about the Sherlock h/c fic recs panel! The usual gang from the Supernatural h/c fic recs panel will be there, laptops out, ready to do look-ups and confirmations throughout the panel, so be sure to bring your laptop and a list of stories to share.

Sounds awesome. Will miss seeing you at the con though :(

I thought you were coming with masteralida. Change of plans? :(

[queenmidalah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for both of us :(

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

Wow, I am extremely sorry to hear that. I was really looking forward to seeing you. I hope Shore Leave isn't off the schedule as well.

[queenmidalah.livejournal.com]

As of right now it is. Unless we come down for a day. This year has just hit bad with financial crap.

NOW I'm sorry I'm not going to M*W! Tell all!

On the other hand - wow, that's a *lot* of fandom-specific panels in a row on Friday. Sherlock fans are apparently not going to be allowed to eat dinner.

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is a ton of front-loading. I'm going to skip the Benedict panel so that I can get dinner before the vid premieres (never miss those!).

I'm hoping, though, the fact that there are so many panels will pique the interest of fen who have vaguely heard of Sherlock but missed the Masterpiece presentations, and they will stop in and check it out.
