I think I'd like to try a Stargate/SGA con after meeting Richard Dean Anderson at the London Film & Comic Con a few weeks ago - he was such a funny sweet guy. I'd have to do a rewatch before attending though, I can't remember episodes and details so would feel lost amongst the hard-line fans! LOL
( ... )
It's been so long since I watched Stargate that I was pretty lost over the references, so I've started a rewatch with the impossible goal of finishing 15 seasons of both shows before Supernatural returns in October...
Wonderful report - sounds like a great day. I was recently at a fan run con (Shore Leave) and they have some really great aspects: amazing costumes from multiple fandoms, a terrific variety of vendors, and the main guest - John Barrowman - was fantastic. A few panels were dreadful, especially the Supernatural one, but that just made my BFF and I think about doing our own next year, maybe a sing-a-long with songs from the show, the parody, etc. Meanwhile I'm saving for Vegas Con!
I have also attended a couple of fan-run cons for Supernatural--Midwest Winchest--which were a lot of fun. While we didn't have any celebrity guests, the ideas other fans presented at their panels showed just how much deep thinking this show inspires!
Thank you for sharing this. I found it very interesting to read about the comparisons. When you said Dan and Alex were MCs, I found myself wondering if the success of Richard triggered Creation to have guests at other cons MC. As far as I know before Richard, Adam (and sometimes Gary) always did it.
I wondered that myself. Also, though I didn't go, this con also had a Friday night karaoke party hosted by Dan and Alex and a Saturday night 'Celebrity Caberat' and I wonder how those compare to what we get at SPN cons!
Very interesting, I loved the comparison between the two conventions. I can imagine SPN conventions being like that 9 years after it finishes (washes mouth out with soap!!!)
Oh dear, I don't want to even think of how old I'll be in 2035!! If I'm even still on this earth!
I think fandom will have thinned down, if you think about it, it has already thinned down to what it used to be, I miss all the really good authors that used to write fanfic and so many of them no longer seem to do so, which is sad.

Maybe when SPN's been off the air for a few years a bunch of us should form a collective and send them a proposal to write tie-in novels! :D
