I think I would like to try this I am really not sure and may need some help to know exactly what you want but I will try

Which talk interests you? I'd be happy to give you a few helpful nudges.

I'm interested in doing the story-driven videogames, if no one has taken this panel. Is the topic strictly on videogames? Where exactly would I start?

I think I will try the hypertext fiction. If that sounds like something I would be able to handle.

I think I am interested in the presentation about chatbots/ and MUDS/ MOOS. If anyone hasn't requested it.

i haven't picked a topic for my presentation yet, where do i have to do? I don't mind about the topic, i just don't know how to choose it, should i pick the Star Trek one?

I didn't pick a topic yet for panel 1. I don't care about the topic, but what if they are all taken? I see that Misheila might be interested in doing the Star Trek one. Can I do two presentations in panel 2? Or is there something else I can do?

Mishelia, you've got the Star Trek topic.

Since there were unclaimed presentation topics in several panels, I'm reluctant to alter the syllabus for those who haven't yet signed up.

Kristen, you could give a presentation on Hot Text, one of the late textbooks that I'm told has just arrived in the bookstore. I don't have a copy with me, but if you gave a presentation on writing for e-mail newsletters on October 11, that would be useful.
