Yu-Gi-Oh! and 4Kids Panel Feedback

[ludus]

A few things I'd like to say to start the thread...

Yu-Gi-Oh! Trivia: I am so very sorry to everyone that the panel started so late. The projector did not work. Staff replaced the cord, discovered the projector still did not work, and then had to get a new projector from a different panel room.
Also, an issue has been brought up where people were not called on. I already responded this was partly because I didn't plan on not being able to see the audience, but I shouldn't try to excuse it. This was a huge planning mistake on my part. Neither myself or the copanelist meant to exclude anyone, and I sincerely apologize if your panel experience was lessened or even ruined because of this. This may not mean much, but maybe I can make it up to anyone who will come to next Tekkoshocon or KuroKiiro. If I do this panel again, there could be some games just for people who were inadvertently slighted at this Tekkoshocon's panel.


Yu-Gi-Oh! Fandom: The feedback I've gotten so far for this panel has been pretty good. I do wish I'd had more to put in the presentation in terms of fanworks, but as it was, we went over time by a couple minutes. I'd like to thank everyone who came, and everyone who had something to say, because a lot of people knew things I didn't, or had experiences I didn't--such as being the only girls at regionals.


History of 4kids: Thank you to everyone that came at 9 in the morning! I started this late for technical difficulties, too, but only one person who I thankfully knew got there any significant amount of time before we started.

So, comments? Constructive criticism? Questions? Let me know, please!

Yeah, I was in your panel; it was great! It's so comforting to meet other YuGiOh fans and hear other people saying some of the same things I've been saying for a while about misconceptions about the fandom. Besides all this, your panel encouraged me to get back into it like I was back in the day- rekindled my fire, you could say ^^
Thanks alot!

btw, I'm probably the only hardcore Pegasus fangirl that was present ^^

I'm glad you enjoyed it! That was my goal, to correct misconceptions and let people know why we're such a great fandom! I hope to have another panel like it next year that focuses more on fanfics, fanart, AMVs, doujins, etc.

I wouldn't say I'm a Pegasus fangirl, but he's certainly starting to grow on me.
