Thanks for the suggestion.  The conference is in Dallas, and many of the SCMLA members are from around the DFW area.  Thankfully, I have received several potential participants already.

No twain is not a dieing topic, but it is bad timing since there is another=
 mla at the same time which has a full panel.

I suggest that you go to a university near where your conference is and go =
talk to the lit profs to see if they have any students interested. That is =
what I do and I get a full panel before cfp is even out!
Good luck
Jules
