If I had an active fannish Twitter or Tumblr, I would have added to my profile: 100% Absolutely Positively Not a Hugo Award Winner. But I don't, so I shan't.

The Fanlore write-up of the controversy.This is really putting me off the Hugos and Worldcon. Feels like another cultural clash in SFF, and I am really fucking tired of them. They're ( Read more... )

I'd be interesting in hearing people's thoughts on why they do or don't attend Worldcon and ways to enjoy it if you do or things to watch out for, etc. There's some potential things brewing over the next couple years, and I always love hearing about people's experiences.

I'll be at Wiscon. Let me know if you'll be there and if you want to hang out. I'm there Thursday evening through Tuesday morning, and I'm staying at the host hotel. I'm driving and picking up a friend along the way; it's about 8 hours each way for me, and I'm excited to listen to some podcasts and audiobooks and, of course, drive with the windows ( Read more... )

So the slightly pretty but drunk and obnoxious frat boys who tried to crash our after-hours room party? Apparently they were the Los Angeles Angels. If only I'd know. The stories...by the time they came knocking at the door, they might have been drunk enough to make out with each other in a pretty way. Maybe ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I leave for Writercon! Maybe I should pack tonight, huh? But I am trying to finish a story due in a couple of days and - yeah. I need to pack. But tomorrow I'm off to Writercon. Come find me, if you're going to be there! I'm looking forward to meeting you, promise.

I'm driving, and I'm looking forward to the road trip. I like to drive.

I bought my ticket for writercon.

I have a Dreamwidth account: escritoireazul. Please feel free to add me there if you have one too. I'll be crossposting once I figure out an easy way to do it; I'm not really sure what I think about it yet.

I tried to buy my Writercon 2009 ticket to add to my list of things I accomplished today (so far, it's a short list), but the payment won't go through and I'm too foggy-headed to troubleshoot it. Anyone know if their paypal system is messed up right now? I'll try again tomorrow (or will at least be able to ask for help tomorrow, I hope). (Also, I ( Read more... )

Y'all! Writercon 2009 is ON! Click here for more information. Not to mention, it is in Minneapolis, which isn't too far from where I'll be working this summer. (Flying or driving will be an option.) AND, it is the weekend after I finish work. Literally, the weekend after. So not only will I have the time to go, but I will have just finished working ( Read more... )

So this is a long, long weekend for me. Yesterday I worked the main job 8 to 5, and there was a tornado nearby and I spent the whole afternoon dealing with emergency calls and then I worked at CogCon 14 at the XGN table hosted by Pixelated from 5 to 11. Today I'm at the main job from 8 to 12 and then back at the LAN table until 11, and tomorrow I'm ( Read more... )
