Am home from Redemption 07. Fantastic con :-))) I'm really hoping that I'll be able to return to England for a week for Redemption 09 - this is the first time I've had to say "er, I'm not sure because I'm emigrating next year...." and it's starting to bring home the fact that it's really happening and rather soon ( Read more... )

redemption, conventions

*waves back* Good to chat to you in the panel - good to see that you've made it back home as well!

The only problem with cons is that you end up with more friends...wait, why did I call that a problem?

Waves...

BTW, MMSed that photo to my friend and, yep, she says she can see why I might have mistaken the back of your head for hers!

*waves* Hi!

*g* It's definitely the oddest reason for photographing my hair I've had, although not the first request...

I'm sure it is! I'm due to meet her a week on Wednesday so I'll photograph the back of *her* head and you can see for yourself!

*g* That would be cool! I'd love to see the back-of-my-head duplicate :-)

Having only the exhaustion, not the caffeine and co-codamol, my LJ construction has only just begun and will need to wait till I am next home. But you instructed me to get a LJ account and I complied! Rather unusual behaviour really. Oh my! I can see that both the other comments on this site are from my friends! What have I gotten in to?

Did you scare somebody at Redemption? How? Are you scary? Should I be commenting on your LJ?

You've gotten into a fun and wonderful world :-) If occasionally rather strange...

I'm hoping that I didn't scare anyone at Redemption, I can be rather hyper when talking about favourite subjects and you should definitely be commenting on my LJ :-) Thanks for coming along to the panel and helping to keep it going with suggestions. It was lovely to meet you - roll on Redemption 09!

Hyper enthusiasm is good. I may have misidentified myself through use of an obscure ID. At Redmeption my badge said Max, which is in fact my name. We met at the bookstall and making the Red Hand Gang wobblevision.

Aha! Yes, I remember you! Sorry, there was another person over the weekend who said they'd be getting an LJ as a result of Redemption so I made an assumption...

Anyway. Welcome! Good to see you've joined us all and can get absorbed by the fun and discussion :-)

I have a booklist! I was taking notes at the "hidden treasures" panel, and one of the other attendees caught me on the Sunday and said you were planning on doing something about a centralised list. I think I listed almost all the suggestions, except some of mine, which I'll include if I can remember ( ... )

Thank you! That's really useful because my notes definitely didn't catch everything :-) I'm planning to put together a central list, possibly with links to LibaryThing, for the Redemption LJ for those who didn't get to the panel - it's time to get those treasures a little less buried :-)

Huzzah :) That sounds like a great plan.

Regina's Song - that was it :-) I knew it began with an R...

Oh, good! I thought it was you who'd mentioned that one, so you'd be able to identify it. When I looked on Wikipedia, it was listed with his fantasy, but it was the only other book that wasn't epic fantasy, so I thought it must be the one :)

I love sharing good books around because then other people might share their favourites in return and my reading list will expand.

Er, which isn't always a good thing when the to-read stack is two feet tall :-)

Regina's Song is a rather interesting book - qualifies as fantasy but is nothing like his usual epic fantasy. It's feels like an Eddings book, but with a twist which is why it stood out a bit for me.

I think I will get LJ. We shall see. You are good at writing a lot. And well.

Sir Maldaef is the party patron in two RPG I run. As such using the name has two flaws. Firstly no one will get it aside from the dozen or so players. Secondly although I think he is pretty cool, it is important that he is on of my characters and not me. People seeing me use him as a name might see too much identification.

So perhaps not that interesting really. I assume that if I read your writings I would find out why you use Selenay 936 (and I thought Selenay was your real name when I met you (not that �real name� is that useful a concept).

*g* Thank you. I have a serious case of verbal diarrhoea sometimes :-) I just hope to make it entertaining!

Hmm. Possibly. But on the other hand, most people won't know why you've chosen the name so it will become like most other Internet handles - a pattern of letters that people associate with a particular person and their interests. Generally when I see a person's name appearing in a conversation or on LJ, I have a mental association with the kind of thing they talk about and conversations we've shared rather than anything I might know about what their pseud originally meant. Does that make sense to you?

and I thought Selenay was your real name when I met youYou're not the first :-) The 936 is the standard thing I add when Selenay has already been taken on a system and it was originally picked at random, no interesting story there. I have been a fan of Mercedes Lackey's books for a long time and, when I was first ( ... )
