The STORY UNLIMITED Panel, Live from Emerald City Comic Con 2019
This episode was recorded live at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, Washington, on March 14th, 2019. It’s a brand-new panel discussion that Adron debuted at Emerald City called “Story Unlimited: Using Non-Traditional Methods & Media to Tell Your Story”.
Do you have a story to tell, but struggle writing that traditional novel, comic, or screenplay? Modern media presents you with extraordinary new options to tell your tale and win an audience. Whether it’s a podcast, video series, webcomic, RPG, chat & text story, indie game, serialized mobile fiction, mystery box subscription, or something completely new, your potential fans are waiting! And why limit yourself to just one platform?
Fictitious host Adron Buske moderates this panel of writers about the evolving world of multimedia entertainment – and how you can break in with your own stories.
Our speaker guests are David Accampo, writer of the comics Lost Angels and The Margins; Gwenda Bond, author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds (and a guest on Fictitious in episode 6 of this season); Rob Hart, author of the Ash McKenna series; and Brian McClellan, author of the Powder Mage trilogy.
While our discussion isn’t strictly about sci-fi and fantasy, it offers a lot of valuable information about writing for different media. In an evolving marketplace that’s hungry for storytelling across a variety of platforms, you just might find the right avenue for your own writing.
