What are these strange entities?  I plan on attending Otakon this
year, my first anime convention.  Will there be a fanfic panel?
How does one sign up to be on it?  Do you have to be famous, like
Ryan or Gryphon, or can any fanfic writer join?

Usually you contact the organizer of the panel...or they contact you :)

"But I wonder whether people who ask God to interfere openly and directly
in our world quite realise what it will be like when He does.  When that
happens, it's the end of the world....For this time, it will be God
without disguise;  something so overwhelming that it will strike either
irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature.  It will be
too late then to choose your side...That won't be the time for choosing;
it will be the time when we discover which side we have really chosen,
whether we realized it before or not.  NOW is the our chance to choose the
right side.  God is holding back to give us that chance.  IT won't last
forever.  We must take it or leave it."
