Inside the Storyteller's Studio: Meet Our Hat.

catvalente and I will be appearing "in conversation" at the upcoming WorldCon. While we have a few topics of our own to cover, we thought it might be nice to see what other people want us to talk about. We're going to try to get this videotaped, thus giving y'all a much greater stake in the discussion than you might otherwise have. So...

Have a topic you'd like to see discussed by me and Cat, probably while under the influence of a lot of sugar? Drop it here! We'll copy out our favorites and put them into a hat (or hat-shaped object), to be drawn during our conversation whenever we need a subject change.

It'll be fun!

1) How to find the character to need to tell That Particular Story (Or: How to find the voices that will bring your plot bunnies to life, as the case may be).

2) Re-Enchanting the world: why, how, and anything else you'd care to yack about. Ideally touching on: 'Saying "Yes" to Faerie', 'Urban Fantasy', 'fairy tales, folklore, and mythology in/for the post-modern age', and similar themes.

3) What kinds of stories are you each drawn to telling? What themes tend to run through your work, regardless of which characters are talking or what audience they're aimed at?

4) Art begets art: On being multidisciplinary artists, art and craft, techne, and similar. :-)
Mmmm, I'd love to hear the discussion on those, too...
