Since we appear to have survived the 2012 apocalypse, let's ask DCTV some questions.

Dragon*ConTV are the people who make videos to entertain you while you're waiting in line to get a ticket or waiting for a panel or waiting for the Masquerade to start. One of the things we do are bumpers, those bits with white text on a black background. We make a lot of those each year, and because we're lazy, we recruit you to help us make them.

"How?" you ask. "How can I help make bumpers?" Easy: ask us something. Here are some of the questions we've answered:

• What objects at con would be Warehouse 13 artifacts?
  
• "Who would win in a fight Blade or Buffy using only swords"
  
• If you have a friend who's a brony, should you stage an intervention?
  
• When will we get Grace Park at Dragon*Con?
  

To Ask DCTV, start by thinking of a question. Ask that question as a reply to this post. I'll credit your question to your LJ user handle, unless you sign your question with a different name. If you choose a really long name, though, I'll shorten it or make fun of it.

Some general advice: You can post more than one question, though I'll probably only use at most one of them. Take a minute and look through previous questions if you want to make sure you're asking us a new one. Examples of old questions include, but are not limited to: why is there con funk? What should I eat at con? How do I get that sexy sexy guest to notice me?

That's it! Ask away!

A big thank-you to everyone who Asked DCTV in advance of the convention this year. As usual we had scads of great questions, more than we could ever use. In fact, this year I ended up smushing multiple questions together into one bumper! Your question-asking makes my job of creating bumpers much easier.
