I let the panelists and the audience decide the content of the

bring up subjects myself.  (Or if there's something I really want to
talk about.)

Usually, the discussion is about the art of writing and publishing.
Topics include genres, writing styles, and fanfiction web sites.  I
always finish my panels by letting the panelists plug their upcoming
works.

One suggestion I'd make, especially after some of the recent discussions
here, is some focus on C&C and what makes good C&C. At most, the subject's
gotten a passing reference in the fanfic panels I've been at.
