After the day
It's late, it stopped raining, it's quite cold out, and I like it.
Been to a sci-fi convention today, probably the biggest amount of freaks I've ever seen. Walked around a bit and went back there now for a lecture on slashes in fan-fics. It was really dissapointing, I was really glad Hagar didn't come - she would have been so annoyed to lose sleeping hours over this thing. For starters, the lecturer was not the kind who's used to public speaking... Result? A lot of looking at the pages she had and a few stupid jokes. The material was kinda nice, but it was too simplistic, and to top it all the audituriom was packed with teenagers, who just wouldn't shut up. I wanted to shoot some of them down. I still think I'll go to some of the other lectures, though, as this being a very exciting topic (oooooooh, gay relationships!), and perhaps some of the other things that interest me are not quite so juicy, so there wouldn't be any clapping and shouting. I might be wrong.
This lecture gave me some things - mainly bad mental images, like Harry and Snape (Yuck! Who came up with that one?) and Harry and Draco, and a few of the more obvious things, like Frodo and Sam. Too much "Star-Treck" and Buffy for me, but hey, these are the main people who come to these things.
One good thing - a very funny word (though accompanied with the mental picture of Sirius and Remus together... Yuicks!) - Remusexual...
Yes, that would be a good moment for *headdesk*
Night, y'all
