idlerat NAME: Smaragd Grun
HOTEL: Salem Waterfront
ARRIVING: Thursday Afternoon
LEAVING: Very, very, VERY early Monday morning
ROOMMATES:
fuschiaALSO TRAVELLING WITH:
lolaraincoat for one leg o' the trek
CELL PHONE: Yes. Number available on request. Also,
meri_oddities,
serpentjody, and
dementordelta all have my number (so to speak).
FORMAL EVENTS I'LL BE AT: Welome Feast, Lunch with Henry Jenkins on Saturday, Halloween Ball (maybe).
OTHER EVENING PLANS: Friday: The Snarry party, see
whslashers for details. Ideally, we'll be hosting in-room gatherings whenever the mood strikes. I'll post the room number here on Thursday evening.
MY PANEL: I'm moderating one panel and discussion session at 9 am on Saturday. Along with
fuschia and
ellid, we'll be talking about how the HP fandom has evolved in the existing context of slash fandom, how it has affected slash, and how slash has affected it. (This is sadly opposite
idlerat's panel, something I'm very unhappy to miss, especially as there will be some overlap with the topics. We'll just have to compare notes later.)
PRESENTING UNDER NAME: Smaragd Grun
ETA: Apparently, some people are dropping out and others are being asked to fill in. I was asked, so am happy to help. But AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A CONSPIRACY I'm apparently going to lead a roundtable discussion opposite Rat's other panel presentation. Hmmmm.
So, if you're tired of the academic panels by that point, please join me for a Roundtable discussion on "Growth Through Death: Cedric, Sirius, and Dumbledore". It's Sunday, from 1-1:45 p.m. We'll be looking at how Harry has been affected by the death of those around him, and how these deaths have shaped the person he has become. (Because it's all about Harry.)
PRESENTING UNDER NAME: Rachel Votta (standing in for, at this panel only)
