Thanks to everybody who attended either as a writer or a reader.

You guys are awesome and I love you!

First things first, a bit of pimpage. If you only attended the first two or three nights you might have missed some awesome costumes. People were showing up until the very last minute posting stories, so PRETTY PLEASE go back, and see if you

I'm going to copy/paste the questions and answer them :)

What was it like to write "out of character?" Hard? Easy? Scary?

Mostly interesting. I try to challenge myself all the time to write new characters/pairing/genres, making it sometimes hard to decide what to do here but there's always something - standbys of pairings I have never written. I was going to do two stories but the time just ran out.

Do you want to do it again next year?

Most definitely.

Did you listen to any of the music or were you too busy looking at costumes?

I only downloaded the Nick Lowe stuff but I think I'm in love ;)

Were there fandoms you'd never read before that you gave a try or did mostly stick to what you were already familiar with?

I'm still reading through - I just haven't had time to do it yet. But I'm enjoying reading them very much. I'm mostly reading stuff I have at least a passing acquaintance with.

Should I do it again next year? If so, what should I change if anything?

Yes. Make it a two week party? That's the only thing I can think of to improve the party, making it longer.

Two weeks? Really? Hmmmm. We did get the last minute stragglers, but I got the feeling MOST people had tuned out by the last few days.

I'll start uploading all my Nick Lowe albums and PM the links to you when they're ready. I have pretty much everything except Nick The Knife and an EP called "Bowi," which he put out in response to Davie Bowie's "Low."

(One of the things I love most about Nick is his sense of humour. Who else would have written a psuedo Beach Boys song about Marie Provost.)
