i understand perfectly, don't worry! that seems like a really cool idea and I'll keep it in mind.

Good evening HSG, I hope this isn't too out of place. I've seen some posts about panels before so I thought I might try and get the word out here, too.

My name is Brittany (dirktier/scariis on tumblr) and I ran the Homestuck Panel Q&A at Animefest this past year. Despite some initial bumps, it went really well and I was invited to host another Homestuck Q&A panel at Mizuumicon, a small one day convention in San Antonio (March 23).

So I'm looking for some cosplayers interested in being a part of the panel. We're looking for beta and alpha kids, and Alternian trolls. Not all spots are open, however. Since it's a small con (average 2,500 attendees though for one day con it isn't that bad) I will be autocasting for some parts.

If you're at all interested in participating, please email me (available in the email field) so I can provide you with some more details!

And that's it! Have a great night.

Ok, thanks! A lot of the stuff mentioned was stuff I already planned on redoing, so this makes me feel confident that I'm going in the right direction.

I ran a Homestuck panel for Animefest. We had about 40 different applicants (2-4 per character or so).The biggest issue I ran into was getting people to turn in their audition video. I had the panel planned since February (for a con in September), yet I didn't receive 90% of my auditions until two days before the cut off date. I had several other people helping me judge videos based on a scale, which obviously took some time, so having so many last minute auditions just made it harder to get everything done in a timely manner.

But ultimately, planning the panel wasn't really that much of a hassle! We made up and voted on a few staged questions to keep things interesting and to give some characters that might be overlooked attention, discussed what kind of seating chart would be best for potential character interactions, and met up a few times at the con and got everyone acquainted with each other, and that was it really!
