WisCon Panel-Generation Carnival
The Internet seems dead during holidays, but for me it's the time when I check LJ/etc. the most.
Let's come up with ideas for WisCon panels and then submit them!
Here's a link to where you submit panel ideas.
Last year I was disappointed by the proliferation of negatively-worded anti-religious panels. I mean, I can understand a couple, but the panel-wording came off to me as hostile, and unnecessarily large in number. At the very least, we should be able to put a lot of thought into the way we word our panel descriptions, right?
I would also really like to see some anime/manga panels, as in, more than one, and have them actually be on the schedule, instead of shunted off to the Spontaneous Programming Room for the third year in a row.

sasha_feather's journal a while ago, we were talking about a "Studio Ghibli: Feminist Alternative to Disney?" panel, in which Studio Ghibli movies could be discussed, particularly as an alternative to ultra-thin and often selfish Disney heroines.
In a Ghibli panel, though I would also want to look at how larger bodies are used as a marker for corruption/evil/greed (Porco Rosso, Howl's Moving Castle).
Last year the spontaneous panel was about Monstrous Bodies in shounen manga, and the year before that we talked about the representation of bodies in shoujo manga, so we should not do those exact topics, perhaps.
And, you know, non-anime/manga related panels, too. Ideas:
--Do you need to read the source material to enjoy the fanfiction?
--Why do people insist that those with negative opinions of a fandom (ie, Glee, Dollhouse) haven't read/seen "enough" of it for their critique to have any validity?
So!
--Leave comments about what kinds of panels you'd like to see/ideas you've already submitted.
--Take it back to your journal in order to get more ideas.
--Submit them appropriately at the WisCon website.
