Virtual FantasyCon 2015 Line Up & a thought on panel parity

Every year at FantasyCon, I hungrily gobble up all the panels I can from the all-you-can-eat buffet, and I always take copious notes as it's the only way to keep myself listening to talks, otherwise my attention wanders. Once I started this blog, I started sharing them, for the benefit of my students, and for anyone who couldn't make FantasyCon or couldn't make that panel because it clashed with something else. The assorted ideas and discussions are wonderfully rich, so I enjoy snatching them from the jaws of the langoliers for us all to enjoy. (You can further defy the langoliers and read FantasyCon 2014 here, and World Fantasy Con 2013 here.)
