justiraWhen I was at Wiscon 42 I took over 13,000 words of notes. That is not a typo. Thirteen thousand. And since I took so many notes, I thought I would write up the panels I attended as well as the four panels I was actually on. Let's go!
I attended:
- Redemption And Revenge: Antiheroines And Villainesses Taking Control (panel description | writeup)
- Where The F Is All The F/F In Media? (panel description | writeup — soon!)
- "Get Out" and Black Horror (panel description | writeup)
- Contextual Queerness In Science Fiction And Fantasy (panel description | writeup — soon!)
- Best Superpowers For Banging: 2 Super 2 Banging (panel description | writeup — soon!)
- Positive Representations of Masculinity (panel description | writeup)
- Future Of Fiction Formats (panel description | writeup — soon!)
I was a panelist on:
- The Good Place: Holy Forking Shirtballs (panel description | writeup — soon!)
- Sex and the Sim City: Romance and Sex in Video Games (panel description | writeup — soon!)
- Beyond S/He (panel description | writeup — soon!)
- Exploring the Platonic (panel description | writeup — soon!)
Sorry about the huge delay and long break in getting these out! In June I lost my job, then had surgery, spent July job hunting, and somewhere in there started a company to make a fully customizable reading tracking app named Liberry. I have a job again now, and can get back to work here at Lady Business! Woo!
This was one of the panels where I kept track of speakers, but unless something is in quotation marks everything here is paraphrased/summarized. When I attribute lines to the audience, they may be combinations of different speakers — I didn't keep explicit notes on that aspect. All errors and misrepresentations are my own. My own thoughts on the panel and the movie are at the end, past the transcript.
The panel description lists the panelists as Tananarive Due (moderator), Chesya Burke, Alex Jennings, and Sheree Renée Thomas; however, Sheree Renée Thomas did not make it.

Thank you to the panelists for a truly wonderful time, and to WisCon 42 for hosting it. Tananarive Due has a class on Get Out at www.sunkenplaceclass.com.
