Paperluigi ttyd wrote: This probably should have been noted at the original release of this thread, but, as previously mentioned, Fanon Con will have a new format that will be tested at the upcoming con. The format, detailed below, is designed to increase interaction between users who submit entries and the users who read them.


 * 1) Submissions will still be posted at Special:MyPage/Fanon Con, and writing contest entries will still be posted at Special:MyPage/Fanon Con Writing Contest.
 * 2) Starting now (and in future cons when sign up begins), users will sign up for time slots on chat (and in future cons possibly an alternate chat if necessary), in which they will have about 15 minutes to present their entry.
 * 3) *When presenting, keep in mind that you don't want to simply read your entry word for word. You want to highlight the details and let people know about any important parts of your submission such as polls or sneak peaks.
 * 4) *You should also leave about 5 minutes for questions.
 * 5) The schedule will be filled out on a first by first basis, with about one user each hour, but that user may present any time within the hour.
 * 6) On the Friday of Fanon Con, the main blog will be posted, with the host introduction and the schedule only.
 * 7) On Saturday, the writing contest will be posted in a separate blog.
 * 8) On Sunday, after all the submissions end, the original blog will be updated with the written submissions, the winner poll, and the closing remarks from the host.

Rinse and repeat for every con :P
