Galacon 2019 panel! · 10:13am May 29th, 2019

Yes, it’s official! I can do a panel at Galacon 2019! :pinkiehappy: I’m so thrilled that I can finally share this news with my readers. This panel will be all about building a world for your story, and the title will be: ‘Wonders of World Building.’ I will show you the essential tips you need to create a solid, believable, and memorable world with which you can do as you please. Colonize it? Destroy it? Sure, it’s your story (although I would personally prefer option two). And of course, we will put our creative skills to the test, as we’ll build a world from scratch together. I swear upon my antlers that this panel will be my best one yet.

It is not yet scheduled, so I can’t give you an official date and time right now, but I will keep you updated for sure. Are you going to Galacon 2019? If so, I would love to meet you at my panel. :twilightsmile: See you soon!

Cool! Sadly I'm not going to GalaCon (I'm always jealous of it though, it always looks amazing). Wishing you luck on the panel!

PS. I saw this really good presentation on how to run a panel at UK Ponycon last year, maybe track that guy down if you need some advice

Hello there! Nice to see you again, Hawthorn! :twilightsmile: Galacon really is amazing. It's so big and so professionally organized, but unfortunately also very expensive. I did a panel there before, two years ago (my first panel ever, in fact), which you can still find on Youtube on the Galacon channel, if you're curious. Thank you so much for the golden tip. I love a bit of detective-noir-style investigation. I wonder who this enigmatic and mysterious character is... I've heard rumors that he has antlers, but that could also be misinformation... :trixieshiftright:

Also thanks for your wishes. I hope you're doing alright yourself and with your stories too. See you soon! :pinkiehappy:

I will check that out and see what it has! I can't go to GalaCon again, sadly, but I will watch the uploaded video once it's there! :scootangel:

Hi Fluttercheer! Thank you so much for the comment! :twilightsmile: Too bad you weren't at Galacon, or we might have met in person. It was a really great con with lots of positive energy. The panel went great, and I really enjoyed all the interesting and crazy ideas the audience came up with. Today I actually posted both the complete panel script, the making of, and the challenge sheet with the aforementioned crazyness as blog posts, if you're curious. I'm sure the Galacon staff will upload the video soon, because everything has been filmed indeed. Thanks for your interest in my work. I hope you're doing alright with your own writing, and to hear from you soon! :twilightsmile:
