6
Dan Ni + Aiden Dartley ENES KRISTwO is coming to Festivus! It's all here - commonlinks on Linux, Vocaloid, Buddhism... And fish? You bet! You'll see all your favorite tossup ideas, like "Pencil and paper ready", "IUPAC name required" and "This vtuber". And they'll all be written from memory! This packet will determine once and for all which quizbowler is the greatest on Earth: Young Fenimore Lee or Enes Kristo!👩‍🍳
7
Donal Ryan + Kevin ThomasCryptids, ghost stories, and other weird s***You poor souls have no idea what you're in for *cackles* - KT
8
eric guntercontemporary (mostly post-2000) scifi/fantasy/horror lit (largely won't be within the qb lit canon, but will be recognizable/popular works/authors for those that keep up with the genre)
9
felix wangunconventional fine arts questions: this means things like performance art, old film, specific qualities or characteristics of art, a lot of "description acceptable" questions and so on
10
Forrest Weintraubastronomy
11
Frances Clark-MurrayOn Cinema at the Cinema (and the associated expanded universe (Decker, The Trial, Dekkar, Mister America, Ant-Man))If the audience for this is 0 I will write a British comedy 1997-2016 packet instead
12
Jaimie CarlsonGossip: questions on authors / artists / musicians but mostly dumb things in their personal lives
13
Jeremy CummingsBrandon Sanderson (spoiler free and hopefully accessible)love this, was gonna suggest a cosmere packet! -erol
14
Jim FanDeep (or comparatively to normal QB) Romance of the Three Kingdoms topics and adjacent not so deep Romance of the Three Kingdoms related trash
15
JinAh Kimdetective fiction (broadly construed)You will probably enjoy this more if you consider yourself a lit player than if you solely read a lot of detective novels. The ideal audience is probably somewhere in the middle.
16
John Francis DyHarry Potter. So much Harry Potter. Maybe Percy Jackson. Stuff I read as a kid and liked
17
John LawrenceBefore and After
18
Jonathan MaginThe X-Files
19

20

22
Nick JensenTwo countries required (mixed academic questions about pairs of countries)

26
Young Fenimore Leepopular music audio tossups (like pavement or imaginary landscapes)
27
28
mazin omerfilm guys (gender neutral) (actors who are not stars but who are in enough movies that you can point at the screen and go "i know that guy!")i should make clear that this is not a packet of character actors – it's meant to shine light on actors who often have leading roles in smaller films or are directors' muses or are just simply in a lot of good movies/are important in film history but are not necessarily household names. though yes, a few character actors may be tossed up - mazin
29
Jeremy Cummingshard 21st century academic music (maybe, if there's space in the day and I get around to finishing it)will prioritize my first packet; may read this one another time
30
joel milesvanity miscellany -- quite hard, biased towards the humanities, pop music history, and american geographynot enough energy to finish :( maybe next year
31
Matt JacksonTBD but considering "shadow canon" / "subducted clue-magma" (stuff that used to come up but doesn't anymore) or an old packet "Remastered" to contemporary quality. if the latter and rewrites are intense enough, may announce ahead of time which packet it is so people can prep/studyi am no longer available day-of Festivus, so I won't be doing this. If someone else is passionate about doing this idea, it's all yours -MJ
32
Zoe Wangtechnology (i.e. stuff I've seen on the waveform podcast -- mostly phones, laptops, small(ish) brands. not that much History.) should be pretty accessible Stuff came up, and I no longer have time to write :(.

40
matt weinersomething, maybe a sample of previous festivus themes i've done, maybe a theme like "stuff I hate" or even "stuff I like and generally never write on because I already know about it," we'll see"Stuff I hate"--but that's so many things!
