[FFML] Fanfic Panel Added at ACen (Re: ACen Cuts Fanfic Panel)

[Jeanne Hedge]

There's been a change of heart on the part of the ACen staff.  Fanfic 
is among a small number of panels that have been added to the 
schedule.  Many thanks are owed to the people who arranged this.

But, unfortunately, it's not all good news.  The scheduled time slot 
for this panel is apparently going to be 1PM on Friday.  I personally 
think somebody may be running an experiment to see how well a panel 
that relies on audience particpation will do if there's little-to-no 
audience present to participate.

If there's anyone out there who is planning on being at Anime Central 
on Friday, and it's possible for you to be there by lunchtime, please 
find the Fanfic Panel.  I'm sure your support will be greatly appreciated.
