On Inaccurate Panel Reports
May. 30th, 2005 01:46 pm(Some of this will not make sense unless you were reading the WisCon at-con newsletter.)
1. "I had an agenda; I did not speak up during the panel; my agenda was not met; now I am griping."
2. I do not do real-time blogging. Sometimes, also, I prefer to talk to my friends and hang out rather than sit in my hotel room and type.
3. Book list panels are universally derided.
4. Factual errors too numerous to count.
So, onto the This Is Not A Feminist SF Canon, But It Could Be. Sorted by number of characters in the title, by the suggestion of Mike Levy. All math errors mine. (Addendum: Thanks to Charles for checking said math.)
