Sherlock at MediaWest*Con 32

[penfold_x]

The programming team has posted the final schedule for MW*C32. Sherlock is definitely the breakout fandom! So many great panels to choose from (gen unless otherwise denoted), plus a party:

Friday
1-2pm, Ball A, Sherlock or Sherlock? Many versions of the same character in movies and on television. Some were hits and some flopped--and some you may never have heard of.
3-4pm, Ball B, Sherlock: What We Love About the Rebooted Friendship & General Discussion of Season 2
6-7pm, Univ 3, Sherlock: Slashing Sherlock (/)
6-7pm, Ball B, Sherlock Holmes: Would Conan Doyle approve? Speculation panel on how the author would feel about the Ritchie movies and the BBC series.

Saturday
10-11am, Univ 3, Sherlock: Mycroft Holmes. He really is the British Government! (I swear I did not actually propose this topic.)
3-4pm, Univ 2, Modern Sherlock Holmes: how does it compare to the Victorian version?
7-9pm, Party Suite, Sherlock party
9-10pm, Univ 2, Sherlock: Looking ahead. Speculation and theories. What do you want to see for season three?

Sunday
10-11am, Ball A, Sherlock: general overview & discussion of Season Two.
1-2pm, Univ 1, Sherlock: the greatest friendship story ever told - with a little necking on the side (/)
2-3pm, Univ 1, Sherlock: The British Government and The Detective Inspector - celebrating the other slash pairing on Sherlock (Mycroft/Lestrade) (Clearly the programming team was being very efficient with regard to room assignments!)
3-4pm, Ball D, The Rise and Rise of Benedict Cumberbatch: Sherlock, The Hobbit, Star Trek (not to mention TTSS and War Horse). Is there anywhere he isn't?
4-5pm, Ball B, Sherlock - H/C Fanfic Recs (We're back again, baby! Bring your bookmarks!)

Thus far, the only zine I'm aware of is the Golden Pyramids zine, The Science of Deduction. Yum@'s taking pre-orders for MW*C pick-up until midnight on Wednesday (email pyramidspress [at] gmail [dot] com). The zine will be sold from the Gold'n Lily Press table in the dealer's room.

Just ordered it!

SInce we aren't going to M*W , I just ordered a copy for B from Lulu. (Shhhh! It's a secret!) It won't be as great as one touched by the actual hands of Yum@, but she doesn't have time for shipping right now anyway.

You guys have a FANTASTIC time at the con!

Ooh, I hope she enjoys it!

Aw, that sounds like a great con, although it also sounds like the Sherlock fans are going to be in the same room for much of it!
