The Role of Fantastical Creatures: Panel
17 Aug 2019, Saturday 15:30 – 16:20, Odeon 3 (Point Square Dublin)
Whether they are protectors or dangerous beasts to be feared, children’s literature is filled with creatures of all kinds: big creatures, small creatures, thin creatures, tall creatures. From Pantalaimon to the Grinch, the Dementors, Winnie-the-Pooh, and more, we will take a special look at the fantastical literary creatures of children’s fiction.
Narrative and Storytelling for Games: Panel
17 Aug 2019, Saturday 19:00 – 19:50, Liffey Hall-2 (CCD)
The manner in which games create narratives has led to, arguably, some of the most compelling storytelling presented in any form. How does this form of narrative differ from more established forms in literature? What unique opportunities and constraints does this medium present to writers and narrative designers, as well as players?
