Hey, hey! Good news for anime fans, gaming geeks, and pop culture enthusiasts! If you ever wanted to take a stab at popular fiction, Troublemaker Kristina Elyse Butke is going to be holding two writing panels exclusive to Colossalcon 12!

The schedule's still being put together as Colossalcon  is working through panel submissions, so we'll keep you posted on the specific event dates and times...but here's a little preview of each topic, as they'll appear listed in the Colossalcon program:


Give Good Spec! Sci fi. Fantasy. Horror. This triad of awesome is known as speculative fiction,  and it's everywhere--books, games, movies, comics--you name it. But a genre that's this popular can still be problematic for writers and artists (hello, clichés and tropes!).   So how do we give good spec? We get to the heart of storytelling!

Fanfic into Fiction Want your fanfic to rise above all the rest? Do you want to go beyond fan fiction and start your writing career? We'll break all the myths and misconceptions of fanfic so you can stake your claim in the world of publishing!


Colossalcon will be held June 6-9th at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Sandusky, Ohio. You can purchase admission here and read more about the convention at the official site and on the forums. We hope to see you there!
