Thank you so much for all the support in the comments Thursday--and for all the courage in sharing some of your own stories. I tried to answer as many as I could, and then had to take a break for the day--I'm going to go back and answer some more, but even if I don't answer yours, please know that I'm reading them all, and I appreciate them all so

Yay, go have fun at the con!

Best wishes both with your health and with the convention!

Do you know if anyone filmed or transcribed the panels from last year? And is anyone going to do it this year?

(Speaking of Draculas and other vampires, I'm *so* tempted to make bonus "texts from movies" with screencaps from Red-Dragon-The-Movie ("Dude, is your hair in a... ponytail?" from Van Helsing m15m) and Hannibal Rising (that long passage from Breaking Dawn m15m about Edward's "Batman period" I'm *not* quoting from memory)... but it'd require me to *watch* those. How will I get screencaps otherwise? And I don't particularly want to watch HR. So just imagine those "texts from" already exist.)

Yo, vivian-lake, you can describe the scenarios (though I'll admit I'd never watched Hannibal Rising before) in the films to me and I'll find & screencap them for you. I'll then post them as a Thing on my blog and give you permission to use them for your purposes, or something.

To Cleo:

Best wishes on your health in the foreseeable future, and hope you have great fun (while being less stressed out, sweaty or just plain darn lost and unable to find the Place) at this year's Dragon-Con! - I'm also seconding Vivian's inquiry and would like to say that after you come back home and had your ConCrud-related rest, a few links to the audio &/or video recording of the Pannibal events would be greatly appreciated!

See, I've never watched HR either, so I don't know what screencap would fit better. There bound to be some - the quote in question pretty much describes the plot. But "find me young Lecter killing some bad person or other, there should be a lot of those scenes" is not a very helpful request, I'm afraid.

Also, you really, *really* don't need to put yourself through watching it just for my sake.

Have fun at the con! I wish I was going, but there are a few factors preventing me: 1. I'm dead-ass broke 2. The timing isn't the best with my schooling and all...

I totally hear you about Con crud. When I went to DC a few years ago, I came back with walking pneumonia. Yay! Such fun!

Yay, I'm glad you're feeling better!
