[Convention] ApolloCon Schedule (as far as I know)
There are apparently a lot of similarities between me and Rosemary Clement-Moore, because honest…I’m NOT STALKING HER. 😎
Friday 9pm Seattle I Cue the Evil Laugh: Lessons Learned from Evil Geniuses
The Evil Genius has the hero at his mercy. The hero’s dangling above a tank full of sharks. Sharks with lasers on their heads. And what does our villain do? He monologues, explaining his plans and giving the hero a chance to escape. *facepalm* Our panelists discuss evil villain stereotypes, and how better villains make for a better story.
Huff (M), Clement-Moore, Eudaly, Martinez
Saturday 10am Scottsdale What is the Plural of Apocalypse?
There are 1,000,024 ways humanity can reach its gory end. Our panelists discuss the possible (such as a man-made pandemic) to the really, really unlikely (gravity stops working and we all turn into pudding).
Finn, Thornton (M), Eudaly
