Oh, the other part of the headder.  I'm in the SE US and I'm wondering
who else is going to Dragon Con or Anime Weekend Atlanta.  Dragon Con
always has a couple of anime rooms and I'm thinking there may be a panel
or two on the general subject, but I'm not sure about a fan fiction
one... I know AWA will have one.

I'm the head of the FanFiction panel for AWA. I'm also doubling as Event
staff. Hopefully, after the next staff meeting, I'll have more details.
Til then, check out the AWA web page.
