ok, i've refueled, so now it's time to say some things about #FiyahConFringe. 1/?
first and foremost i want to thank my partner in crime, @laviecestmoi. Vida is the people person in this dream team. she sourced the bulk of the panelists, while i built out the schedule, because if you open up my heart there's a spreadsheet in there. 2/?
i also want to give a huge, huge shoutout to @itsneonyang. they weren't able to appear on the panels, but none of this would have happened without Neon's encouragement. they were absolutely crucial to the initial planning of this venture.
i am everlastingly grateful to @Ellethevillain for adopting Fringe as an actual part of FiyahCon instead of leaving us to run guerilla programming, and for providing us with official resources and access to the streaming, archival, and social platforms.
FiyahCon staff @KateElliottSFF, @EddieLouise, @tchancua, @sillysyntax, and @ShiningComic constantly made themselves available for our support: facilitating panels, getting our streams up and running, teaching me how to use Sched, and sorting out release form issues. thank you!!
and of course, our amazing panelists: 38 amazing people from around the world who donated their time to make sure that there was free content for the "non-optimal" timezones outside America and the UK.
from the start, Fringe wanted to be open to countries where a $40 ticket was prohibitively expensive and where time zones presented a barrier to attending panels. we could not have made this happen without all your support, and we thank you with all our hearts.
to our amazing audience who kept cheering in discord and live-tweeting panels throughout: THANK YOU. we are so happy to have delighted and entertained you. the positive feedback kept us going. i'm not sure my body was even built to process that much serotonin that quickly.
... ah, i see i forgot to keep numbering this thread as i went. well, this is it, friendos. i'm going to sleep now because i have to be awake for @ClarionWest's trivia night tomorrow morning.
thank you for a truly incredible day.
