I’ll be attending Capclave 2017 October 6-8, 2017. My panel schedule is below.
“Doctor Who: End of an Era, Beginning of a New One”
Saturday, October 7, 10:00 AM
Rockville/Potomac
Moffatt’s era ends and Chibnall’s era begins. What did we think of the Capaldi era, and Clara and Bill as companions? What do we want from Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor? What are our hopes for Chibnall as showrunner? What do we think of the Moffatt era vs. the Davies era?
Victoria Janssen, A.C. Wise, Hildy Silverman, Vanessa Phin [moderator]
“75 Years of Wonder Woman”
Saturday, October 7, 3:00 PM
Rockville/Potomac
It’s been 75 years since Wonder Woman first appeared in Sensation Comics Issue #1. In that time she’s been in comic books, animated tv shows, a live action tv show, and the recent extremely popular movie starring Gal Gadot. Panelists discuss the character and her interpretation over the years.
Fran Wilde, Janine Spendlove, Victoria Janssen [moderator], Jeanne Adams
“Octavia Butler”
Saturday, October 7, 6:00 PM
Boardroom
Twelfth Planet Press has just published Luminescent Threads. While a more prolific novelist than short story writer, her short fiction, such as “Bloodchild,” continues to be discussed to this day. Panelists will discuss the late Octavia Butler’s ongoing influence on the field.
