[OOC and IC...]

Yesterday was technically my one-year, but had a rough day medically so I'll do this post today.

I can't believe it's been one year since this all started. This time last year, I had been RPing with cso_spock for more than a month and we had been rockin' through emails. She and I would giggle over the kink_meme. Then one day, I spotted letspunchit and realized - it

Hehe... yes, stick to me, kid. ;)

I've met Tom Felton, but it was a paid photo-thingy at last year's D*Con. However, the amusing factor was that I was in costume as Quidditch!Harry, and as I walked in, Tom looked at me, grinned, and said, "Hello, Daniel!" I also got him to hold my broomstick. And LO! The slashers went wild. :D

Although he's not as "big" in the Harry Potter world as Tom Felton, I've known Chris Rankin since 2005, and whenever we see each other at a HP convention, he always recognizes me and says hi. Actually, at the end of this convention, he said, "You and I have to actually sit down and talk sometime." I told him we'd do coffee at the next convention, and he agreed, gave me a huge hug. It's cool like that. He's realized that I'm an enthusiastic fan, but not a crazy one.

Here, pictures...

Didn't snap any pics this year, but kept bumping into him. He's a cool guy. Loves the HP conventions, and he's coming back next time, too.

For D*Con, I'm staying at the Hyatt again, I believe. What about you?

Hmmm... I LOVE fics where the authors take the time to build up the alien worlds, design the away missions, and so on. I think it makes it STAR TREK, not just sappy fanfic. So, if nothing else, you've got my affection for your efforts!

I always hoped that maybe I would get to meet someone famous like that (...if it says anything, I would give anything to sit down and have a cup of coffee with Robin Williams) in a relaxed, non-fandom way. You have all the luck in the world somehow girl. XD

Awww, your pics! <3~

I'm at the Hyatt too! There shall be much hangings out.

I'm really excited about this BB, if it comes together like it should, it should be good. I have that 'too many details' problem with my world-building. I could tell you about the alien religion, building, method of energy gathering, about their space travels, culture, every detail... and my heart wants to get it out on paper, ya know? XD

Writing has been very at ends with me lately. I finally started writing something on my own, which I rarely do, and the first thing ever over 5k words. Didn't end up getting many comments, which yea whatever I know we're not supposed to be writing for them, but in the end they give me the urge to keep writing it. As I was just saying this morning, is it really worth the effort and stress and concern and worry for the readers if no one's reading it? XD

Working on a Tarsus thing for the H/C Bingo I started. That's one big angst fest so far. XD

Look how I can ramble! XD

[mijan]

I freakin' adore Robin Williams. That's awesome. But yeah, my encounter with Walter Koenig was very much that relaxed, non-fandom sort of encounter. It was quite amazing.

I dunno about luck, because technically, I don't believe in luck... but maybe there's something to it.

YAY HYATT! Yes, there shall be much hanging out, indeed. That is, if we ever go back to our rooms and get away from the nonstop fun.

I'm sure your story will be amazing. Follow your instincts on it, and put as much detail as FEELS right. And if it needs trimming, trust your beta.

Original stories are hard that way - trying to draw in an audience is a challenge. Where did you post it? I've been busy, so I might have missed it.

Oooh, Tarsus fic. I've seen so many of those, but really, they can be amazing if done well.

And I like rambling! It's a fun distraction. :D

[kirktastic]

I definitely believe in luck. Good and bad. I don't believe you can do anything to influence it, but its just another condensed word for all the tiny factors and variables that make life happen the way it does. Luck just sort of sums all those up. /makesnosense

I have to go back to my rooms sometimes - I get a little on the @___@ side if I spend too long in the crowds. I wish I had a costume to go with this year! I miss going to cons in costume. XD

It isn't an original story - should have been more clear. I only meant that it's a first for not writing with another person. Unusual, maybe, but so far I've really only been able to write with someone else no matter the fandom I'm in. It's over on my writing journal - I like to keep this journal and that journal separate so I hope you remember the name of it or I'll PM it to you. <3~

It's 5 blocks on my bingo card - Kidnapping, Hostages, Heat Stroke, Runaways, and Homelessness. Basically telling parts of the story of what happened during Jim's time on Tarsus, what happened during the slaughter, and afterward. I wanted to build a look into why my Jim (though it isn't for the RP, just 'my idea of Jim') ended up on the streets in a world where money isn't necessary anymore - or at least, sort of. The idea of a man who is on the run from the government (or what he thinks is) that did him so wrong.

LOL... the whims of the universe = luck. I can work with that. Hopefully, I stay on its good side.

No costume? :( Maybe we can do something with that.

Okay, and I have to read that fic of yours NOW. Link me? PLZ?

[kirktastic]

I need to get back onto its good side. XD

No costume. I am not a great sewer so I usually do prop-related things, but with the weight-not-going-down thing and the no-inspiration thing, it's been tough. XD

The Tarsus fic? That isn't up yet. I've only done two of the five. It's hard to write cuz it feels like a blow to my Jim!muse's chest when I'm done. XD

The other fic... if you like AU, it's ... coming in a PM. XD
