testing, testing...is this thing still on?

Mar 06, 2013 01:44

I kinda got away from fannish stuff for a while. I blame my kindle. I started reading a lot more books. I read all the Dresden books, and the Longmire books, along with a few other series. I finally hit an annoying book the same time Escapade happened. Hanging out with fans and going to panels of shows I like really jazzed me up again. I found ( Read more... )

Hi there! I have fallen in love with my Nook and I've been spending a LOT of time reading on it myself. I finally bought one about a year and a half ago when I found out I could download fanfic from AO3 onto it. It's fantastic! I also have been reading some of the Person of Interest fanfic from there. Sure it's no Stargate, but the show and the fanfic are interesting, and new ( ... )

So good to hear from you! I saw your name as a giver of Kudos for PoI fanfic in AO3, and I was, "yay! Marge is still in fandom ( ... )

Most of the fanfic authors have been picked up by some small presses, most notably Dreamspinners Press (DSP). They were at the last couple MediaWestcons, and I bought some of their books there. Some are great, some are good, some are so-so ( ... )

Thanks for the recs. I see that many of these authors were SGA writers; that's probably why I didn't know about them. I will read Fair Game. It certainly has good reviews.

It was one thing to go to the Creation Cons when the show was still on because there was new stuff to hear the guests talk about. Nothing new lately...except for that new SG1 tablet/phone game that's suppose to be out this month. It looked cool:

Are you going to MWC this year? I have a room and no roommate.... :)

When you said you had a room and no roomie, I actually gave some consideration to going to the con this year. I guess I'm already glad I decided I simply don't have much to do or see there anymore, before I read cannelfan's discussion about the con this year ( ... )

The Best Western clearly did not want the con this year and they got their wish. I think it's stupid to have the lottery still and the con com has major control issues. I'm in the Hampton Inn across the street, but I like the HI so actually, I'm okay with that.

Thank you for the link to that blog--I hope he's wrong for the most part (but I'm sure he's right for some!) I did find the list of panels and it could stand some weeding (13 Starsky and Hutch panel? NO!) There are some Grimm, Haven, POI and Hobbit panels, along with others I'd like to catch, so that's good--so far. The vid show has shrank alarmingly.

I've pretty much decided this is my last one. I'm going to see my East Coast friends one last time and say a proper goodbye. We'll see. I do understand completely about your decision. I will always see you on the net, though. :)
