PonyFest Saturday: Derpy CYOA(!) and Joy of Sadfics Panels · 3:26am May 26th, 2020
I am running two panels at PonyFest 3.0 this Saturday!
Click on the link, it is free to attend!
One of them will be an interactive choose your own adventure story with Derpy which is a bold experiment that will almost certainly not turn out to be an enormous dumpster fire.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The Joy of Sadfics
8:00 PM - 9:30 PM (EDT)
Trick Question
Why do tragic stories paradoxically make so many readers happy? Is it schadenfreude, identification with loss, catharsis, or something weirder still that draws us to the maudlin? Join Trick as she discusses tragedy and misfortune in fanfiction, and learn about which dramatic themes are more likely to work for a target audience.
Derpy's Muffin Mystery
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM (EDT)
Trick Question
Come play a real-time choose-your-own-adventure, Derpy style! Trick Question will extemporaneously tell a mystery story starring Derpy Hooves, with Derpy's actions based entirely on audience response and voting. Much of the story has been prepared in advance, but Derpy's actions—and where the story ultimately leads—will be entirely up to you!
i think you might've made a mistake on the time for one of those panels.

Yes. I am not talented enough to do two panels at the same time.
It should be correct now.
Well, I feel almost obligated to be at the Derp Your Own Adventure. Looking forward to it!
Ah, good luck and have fun!

Cool! I'm sure I can listen in!
That is a glorious image.
The sadfic panel sounds like it’d be right up my alley. My availability for catching live broadcasts is rarely good, but I will have to see what can be made to happen.
Cool poster in the background there.

I also had to cover up a Sunburst, a Sunburst/Stellar Flare, and a Twi/Dash on the wall to viewer right.
(Left wall is just filled with the stuff.)
