So we're still planning out the details of the panel right now. Open to suggestions if there is anything you would really like to see covered in a panel like this. You never know, maybe we'll cover something you suggested. There will be a Q&A in the panel with questions form the audience, but I find it good to have a couple of questions already prepared that can spur good discussion in that section or in the earlier part of the panel.

We're requesting permission to record the panel audio so we'll probably release the highlights of the panel in a podcast episode, perhaps all of it if we are allowed to.

How do you keep up the motivation to do the show? I know in the 7 years since I first listened to the show my life and priorities have changed drastically. How do you muster the energy? Has the show helped or hurt that energy?

State of the fandom and what divides it? ie Books vs TV viewers, spoiler chapters, spoilers in general, etc

Things I'd be interested to hear:
How do you think people getting some answers (whether via show or books) is going to affect a fandom that's been so consumed with theorizing about stuff?

Expound upon your personal favorite theories?

How has APoIaF been so successful in building an online community that isn't a damn cesspit?

What's Tara's current thinking on the state of Ice and Fire con and what its future should hold?
