[Writer Post] Changing the Narrative Pt 4 – Your Turn
Changing the Narrative continues – installment of Changing the Narrative is going to be INTERACTIVE. Hah! I’m going to make you do some work. When you have a flash of insight – or something – it needs to be pursued, right? Then I need to get back to stories. I have A LOOMING DEADLINE. Bwa hahaha.
I was going to start shifting my focus from the issues of fan-run and media conventions – because I think we have hit the high points. It’s time to start shifting to potential solutions. I was going to start detailing what ideas I had but I need more time to let them gel.
THAT’S WHERE YOU COME IN! (read that in your best Game Show Announcer Voice) This is not a One Woman Saves The World scenario, especially not THIS woman. I will spend the next week working out my idea – but I want YOUR ideas. I know I have con runners and volunteers from both types of shows, artists, writers, creators, and vendors on my feeds and (hopefully) readership – some of you have commented.
Now, YOU tell ME what YOU see – both the present and the future – or what you would like to see as solutions. Let’s truly start a dialog on this. This will be a “Nothing’s Off The Table” type discussion (yeah, I know that’s hard – really hard, I’ve been guilty of naysaying, let’s all try to be cool). What might work for one type of show – or size – may not apply to another but it might make someone think somewhere.
But there has to be TALKING (or in this case TYPING). So make with the clicky clicky and tell me your thoughts. Media? Fan Run? Hybrid? Pros and cons. Happy, sad, both? Just remember the rule – “Don’t Be A Jerk”. Civility is a must.
Now… DEADLINE. Must go. Talk amongst yourselves. PLEASE!
