Writing Comics Scripts
Friday October 18, 2024 2:00pm - 2:50pm PDT
Morrison
You can write a story, but can you write in the style of a script? Learn about the special mechanics, industry tricks, gearing your work toward certain illustrators or publishers, writing notes for yourself to illustrate in solo work, and whether vague direction or meticulous description is right for your project!

Fairy Tale Usage Today
Friday October 18, 2024 5:00pm - 5:50pm PDT
Morrison
Reinventing traditional fairy stories sometimes recasts them in vastly different contexts - were they entertainment, cautionary tales, teaching tales? What are we using them for now? How much damage did the Disney saccharine coating do?

Not Too Horrible
Friday October 18, 2024 6:00pm - 6:50pm PDT
Morrison
I like to be scared, but not too scared. The show Supernatural gave me nightmares. What are the levels of spook? Suggestions for horror for the faint of heart?

Scifi Utopias Dystopias and Everything in Between
Friday October 18, 2024 7:00pm - 7:50pm PDT
Morrison
Science Fiction is often seen as a harbinger of things to come. Future universes can be friendly/ utopian, scary or depressingly dystopian, or a mixture. Where, when, and how do our favorite science fiction scenarios occur? Do some seem more likely than others? Can we change that?

Polyamory in Fantasy vs Reality
Friday October 18, 2024 10:00pm - 10:50pm PDT
Morrison
How does the fantasy of polyamory as portrayed in fictions compare to real world experiences? What are the types of polyamory, and what assumptions are made? How can you give your characters a healthy polyamorous relationship, or depict its trauma without harmful tropes?
