Click Critics: The Power of Fan Websites

Monday, May 19, 2008; 6:00 to 7:30 pm

TV recap/fan sites like Television Without Pity have a significant impact on television's creative community, as producers are able to instantly track fans' reactions to their programming. In addition to the entertainment these portals provide readers, they have become the ultimate focus group, making passionate, informed, unfiltered audience responses to new material a simple click away. We are gathering writers behind some of the more well-known sites to discuss the influence of fan sites on programming, the culture of actively engaged critical communities, and their position in the "legitimate" critical landscape.


In Person: Kevin Croy (Lostpedia), Remona Outar (Ugly Is In), Erica Blitz (Galactica Sitrep), Dan Manu (Television Without Pity), Damon Schmidt (Whedonesque), Jennie Tan (OfficeTally)

The panel will be moderated by Alan Sepinwall, and will include a performance by the LOST recap band "Previously on LOST," for added fan-atical goodness.
