CON!

[revolutionaryjo]

I don't even know where to start to convey exactly how amazing of a weekend I had at CONvergence.

Every one of my 11 panels was fantastic. I love and adore the slash panel, as always, because I always meet new people there. This year, I met bessyboo and her lovely girl!Jack costume. (I need to remember that we should do a Meta Panel next year too!) And I

I feel less like I met a guest of honor and more like I made a friend through fandom. Who happens to write for Doctor Who.

Which is why I wanted him as a guest, because I knew he would be awesome.

I have little doubt he will be back. (And I hope Caroline will come along, and I was sad she couldn't make it this year.)

[revolutionaryjo]

And lo, he certainly was awesome. I hope we do see a lot more of him. :)

I think bessyboo had my favorite costume of the con. It was just so perfect.

(I need to remember that we should do a Meta Panel next year too!)

*giggle* It did turn into a lot of meta towards the middle there didn't it? I liked it because I rarely get to talk these issues outside of LJ without getting really damn annoyed because tone is so important in those conversations. It also made me realize I want to attend a con with way more emphasis on fangirls.

THANK YOU FOR DOING SO MANY WONDERFUL PANELS! And I'm still totally on board for a Merlin panel next year if you'll have me.

[revolutionaryjo]

Yessss! We must do a Merlin panel next year and make it actually happen this time. We've got at least three panelists between you, me, and cottonandice. If we can get a couple more on board, it's nearly a sure thing.

So I think this means I'm already planning on four panels for next year, lol. Nothing like getting started early. :)

Vividcon tends to be where I get my fix for fangirl-centered cons. (Reminding me to tell you that you should come to it one of these years!) But I really would like to get out to attend Escapade or another slash con sometime too.

Thank you for attending so many of my panels! It was great to see you in person again! I just wish there had been more time to chat. Next year, I suppose. :)

Four panelists! I would totally be game for a Merlin panel!

[revolutionaryjo]

Excellent! And I have it here in writing now so I don't forget who all was interested.

I think I need to pace myself better so I can attend the Dead Dog Party one of these years.

[revolutionaryjo]

I seem to only ever wind up there for a few minutes before I wind up being whisked away to some other location. Cinema Rex, someone's hotel room, 22nd floor, or wherever. But the few minutes I do wind up there are usually worth it. It's a pretty chill atmosphere.

I will later tell you the tale of the magic pony......
BTW I already asked Anton if we can do anything for Paul at AD, as he already wants to come ( you thought I wouldnt play that card!?!?!). XD

[revolutionaryjo]

I am deeply curious about the magic pony! Yes, you must tell me sometime.

lol, you know I would get absolutely nothing done if given the opportunity to hang out with Paul at Detour vs. running around all day and night for Programming.

[cottonandice]

If he does attend, I think we should make a tradition of bestowing magical ponies upon him. He should have a collection.

I will knit a scarf for one, I swear to God I'll do it.

You were on 11 panels? ELEVEN? *feels faint just thinking about that much effort*

Glad to hear you had a most excellent time.

[revolutionaryjo]

Better than the total of 15 I had originally proposed? *chagrined*

Kept me busy at least. :)
