Thank you!!! Last year I was really disappointed to see that there were so many hetelia panels and it's great to see someone taking the step to do something else. Particularly zombies >.> actually have you read the survival guide yet. It's full of some interesting information. I'd be willing to invest some time in this if you need a fellow panelist, but I'd expect you to take point as it would be my first time hosting one.

Yeah, zombies are a passion of mine and such a staple in the modern popculture and in culture in general! I mean, they have variants all over the world ^^

Hmmm,what do you know about zombies? c:

[AngelWings]

I'm out of state right now and not exactly prepared for my usual in depth analysis, but here goes. My first thoughts focus on the initial difference between most zombies, because chronologically what comes first is always how it begins. (I refuse to say spreads because that is implying that it initially began with a zombie which does not explain the first case of... for lack of a better term and an inherent dislike of zombiedom as a classification I'll use infection.) Options and theories often include but are not necessarily limited to bad beef, vaudaun (voodoo), biological tinkering, evil ancient forces, necromancy, chemicals/radiation, and that's all I've got at the mo. Mind you several examples for most of these but you get the picture. If itll gt me brownie points the reason I should really be sleeping is I'm currently in new orleans doing the tourist thing. Basically if there's a zombie movies I've either seen or want to see it, I've often considered various thoughts of what to do in the initial stages of a zombie apoc, have read and will happily read more zombie literature, and have come the conclusion that unless certain measures are done properly after the initial outburst of zombie infection we're all pretty much doomed in the long term if not the very short term. If you want me to give you more of my way to much zombie obsession barrage id be happy to put something together once I get back home!  Going to sleep now so I'm not even completely zombified t
Later today. Yay timezone swap.

Ok c:

Do you want my FB? ;w;

[AngelWings]

Hey there! I am a member of a small group that loves to do zombie panels at conventions. The next one we are doing is at Animation on Display in San Francisco http://www.aodsf.org/aod/events/panels/. We started with making a professional-level Zombie Apocalypse Webinar (http://www.provpubs.com/webinars/zombie-dvd/) and have had great success bringing humorous short zombie videos and interesting panel topics. One of the most popular things we have done is having one panelist cosplay as a zombie and field a QA session about life as a zombie. We have mixed serious emergency survival techniques with humor to keep it enjoyable. I have even created custom zombie-themed presentation software to improve on the typical power-point slides that are used by most panelists.

I think it would be great if we worked together to make a Fanime Zombie Panel the best it could be. Right now we have one member between jobs, so there are only three of us who can go Con-hopping. If we all worked together I know that we could create some intriguing content for this panel, more people working together would make for an easier time both writing and presenting. I would like everyone who wants to present a zombie panel to be able to, so let me know what you think. Only half a year left!

Oh, sure, thatd be amazing! Do you all have a Facebook where we could discuss stuff?

[Alias Cognomen]

Actually we don't all have facebook pages. We mainly use Google chat and Skype when we need to internet-chat.
I just made a page under the name Prenomen Sobriquet Cognomen (just to be extra sneaky).
I have also made a Facebook organization called "Zombie Outbreak Response Team" that everyone can use to communicate. When we get closer to the con we can also use the page to gather interest in the panel. I haven't presented at a con as big as Fanime, so I'm excited for the possibilities!
Oh, and my real name is Hunter!

My name is Jaidin c:
And could you link me to these pages? I cant seem to find them!
But, yeah, around January, we can discuss the panel more in-depth.

[AngelWings]

Gah remind me to not look away from the forums for so long! First I find out reg is up on Friday and now this. My vocabulary does not have enough words to describe how amazing this is to me. My name is Arianna and I just liked your org on Facebook. If Jaidin is free that weekend I'd be willing to take the drive out to the city for your next presentation.

[Alias Cognomen]

Hey, Alright!

I think that this will link to the pre-panel preparation discussion. It is in a separate group just for us.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Zombie-Outbreak-Response-Team/286926854682697

Our schedules are proving difficult to have us all get together at once, so I posted a preliminary outline of some topics to cover. Feel free to post more or make revisions to the outline (If you can, I've never used a facebook group page like this before).

Is Panel registration on Friday, too?

I see that Panel registrations are open. I would like to register our panel within the next week. I am planning on asking for 1 hour in the evening, and requesting microphones and a projector we can hook up our laptop to. Do you two have any other thoughts? As of now it will be the three of us and one of my friends hosting.
