This isn't a panel report in the standard sense. Instead, since the "Writing the Other: Shout-Outs" panel was basically just people taking about things that worked for them and why, it's a rec list.
The list includes POC characters written by white authors, female characters written by men, disabled characters written by able people, GLBT characters written by straight people, and characters with one religion written by members of another religion. There may be more categories; those were the ones I noted.
The panel was great, smart and funny and interesting. It was moderated by Nisi Shawl and included Karnythia (
karnythia), K. Tempest Bradford, and Moondancer Drake
As always, the notes were written on the fly. I've double-checked many of the spellings I was unsure of, but any remaining misspellings or misattributions are my own.
( List beneath the cut. )
If you have any corrections, note them here and I'll fix. And feel free to share the link, of course!
