In retrospect, Asylum Con is appropriately named.

Just a few notes concerning reactions from this post about the events of the Asylum Con. ( And it's more a commentary on my feelings about Cool!fandom versus Batshit!fandom than any sort of complaint about conventions... )

fandom, kelleigh gets verbose

Um. Hon? I LOVE YOU. I kept going "Yes, yes, YESSSSSS." I kind of wanted to write a post, but not, you know? on the con/fandom wank situation. Would you mind if I linked to this in my lj? Because YES. This is so smart, so well put.

You're so fast!

And I totally don't mind if you link to it - I almost made it private, but then figured that my friends wouldn't be my friends if I couldn't share how I felt. ♥

And THANK YOU, of course.

Thanks...I can't really help it when my brain gets think-ey on me!

I agree with every word of this! Thank you for saying it so clearly for me.

kelleigh June 5 2009, 02:18:28 UTC

You're welcome - I'm glad it was clear for someone other than myself!

I have mixed feeling about the post you linked. Your post - awesome. The more I read the comments on the linked post, the more uncomfortable I felt. Even the people who were claiming sanity made me feel icky. I think I will continue to hide in my little corner coming out just to talk to the fan friends I have in RL and the few from LJ that I've made.
Sheesh people. If the Js said they weren't going to do any more cons due to this behaviour, then I would probably cheer. I've never gone to a con because being a [relatively] sane fan is weird for me. I definitely wouldn't want to be associated with the lunies.

And I'm scribbling even as we speak! I hope hope hope I can get it finished sometime tomorrow.

Porn 'it's Friday somewhere' works too.

*snaps* If I lived near you I'd give you alcohol for some damn good comments. :D

PS. PORN FRIDAY FTW. \0/

Haha snapping reminds me of my sorority chapter meetings ;) *SNAP SNAP* And mmmmm, alcohol's a good reward, thanks!

PS. PORN FRIDAY FTW.

I'm tryyyyyyyyyyyying! If not, jumpuphigh and I decided it would be Porn "It's Friday IN MY HEAD" Day.
