HELLO YES.

I am interested in hearing about how all of those go, but especially this? I say as someone who's a far better beta reader than a writer and also someone who jumped up to being her office team's manager on skills that are mostly Yuletide.

That sounds like a really nice range. Hope they all have their brilliant or satisfying moments.

Yeah, it should be interesting! Panel description (the full program is up, albeit working really badly, at https://guide.chicon.org/): Fanfiction writers, like all writers, focus on character development, plot outlines, and witty dialogue—but there are skills specific to fan spaces that also need development. Fanfiction writers produce their own summaries, content warnings, and responses to commenters of all kinds, all while promoting their work on various social media sites. Fanfiction writers, editors, and enthusiasts will discuss some of the other skills that can benefit fanfiction writers, as well as provide tips and point to resources.
