Emerald City programming went up yesterday. There's a ton of offerings, so I’m going to break it down by day and by category. Some of these categories will overlap a bit, especially creative and comics. Please note I am not listing every single panel, just a selection, so you will still want to check the ECCC list.
First of all, allow me to point out that there are still Friday badges
available for ECCC. So if the below looks appetizing to you, why not come? Especially
if you washed out in SDCC Open Reg – spend that money on a weekend in Seattle. You'll find plenty to do even if you don't have Saturday access.
Okay, let’s start with panels for creatives. If you go to SDCC, you know that
recent years have brought a groundswell of panels for writers of all stripes, cartoonists,
designers, game developers - pretty much anyone you can think of in the fandom
industries. ECCC is bringing great content as well for people in the arts. Some
focus on honing your talent; others focus more on the practical matters of
breaking in and making money.
We have the usual crop of “breaking in” panels:
