Hello, my friends! I had a long multi-item post planned about a) how
fma_ladyfest is done and was an awesome modding experience and a FABULOUS reading and art-viewing experience*, and b) I am not at all ded of hurricane, and in fact only suffered a few hours of trying to work on cosplay by candlelight, and c) work is busy, busy, busy and thus eating a lot of my brain, and d) DRAGON*CON. But then the week stayed super-busy and it's getting close to 5:00, so instead you get a short multi-item paragraph full of too many clauses.
Dragon*Con, though! I am departing imminently, and will not return to the internet until Tuesday at least. (I should have some level of email access, but having time and energy spare is another matter.) If you're going, look for me, and I will look for you! I do not say we'll meet up, because crowded cons are the enemy of planning. But I will be spending much of my time dressed as either Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena (red ballgown, purple hair, ridiculous epaulets) or Sheik from Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the Super Smash Brothers games (blue unitard and blue body armor, bandage-turban-facewrap thing), and my badge will say Genarti. Say hi if you feel so inclined! And for those of you not going, have tons of fun without me, and please don't burn down too much of the internet in my absence. I want to help, you see.
*How about a footnote? It's like a paragraph, but saves me from worrying about organizing the order coherently. I received
Oil and Water from
gretchen8642, about Rebecca and Riza becoming friends at the Academy. Coincidentally, I wrote
Nobody's Perfect about the same characters in the same loose timeframe, for
dictator_duck. Becca and I also co-wrote
Five Books Sheska Read for
bay115, because apparently we have made a tradition of last-minute self-indulgent co-writing. There's a lot of really excellent stuff I had nothing to do with the creation of, too, so go
check it out if you like FMA. Or if you read in fandoms you don't know, like I sometimes do.
