I (Chris) was recently on a panel at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive festival, discussing the creation of online science fiction experiences.  Panelists included Felicia Day, Craig Engler of Syfy, Ryan Copple of Riese the Series, and George Ruiz.  While I'm unable to embed the audio from the panel, SXSW has posted it on the panel description page, which you can listen to HERE.

The panel provided some good insight into creating and promoting digital sci-fi stories, especially on incredibly limited budgets.

Overall, SXSW is a FANTASTIC festival.  I'd been meaning to attend for years and the panel invitation gave me the perfect excuse to spend the week in Austin.  If you're a content creator or digital storyteller, I highly suggest you consider attending in 2012 (if the world hasn't ended of course).  Great networking, ridiculous amounts of amazing food, and a really nice city.
