Fannish 50 Challenge 2024: Post # 20: At the Escapade Con That I Missed

[ride_4ever]

I have a long history with attending Escapade in California, the world's longest-running slashcon. Sadly, I missed Escapade's 34th year earlier this month, but thanks to being informed by kadymae, I know that I was well-remembered. My absolute dedication to dSC6D fandom is well-known and I am both appreciated and feared as a relentless bidder at Escapade'

Oh, I love that. Did you ever know Crysothemis in the DS fandom? The reason I ask is she's one of my best friends. I writer to her every day! So if you two know each other, I'll have to let her know I've met you!

She got into the Stargate fandom after Due South and did some kick ass drawings of the actors in that show. That's how I met Jason Momoa. I have a very funny story about her from the Chicago Creation Con and Jason Momoa.

Crysothemis and I don't know each other but over the course of time I have read all her dS fic that's on the old dSFA...and I know that all her works on AO3 are Stargate. Would you encourage her to put her dS fic on AO3 so I can leave comments? (speranza is leaving the dSFA site up but the comments section no longer functions.)

Wish I'd known all y'all were at one of the Creation Cons in Chicago -- would have been cool to do a fannish meetup. (And are you going to share that funny story from that Creation Con?)

[wpadmirer]

Oh, I wish we had known each other! That would have been fun

What a shiny experience with Jason Momoa! And LOL for the part where she kept missing the highway exit!

BTW, I was at a Stargate Creation Con in Chicago too, but not the same year you guys were there.

It's a shame you had to miss it. But how lovely that you were so well remembered and talked about/mentioned more than once. That's very warming.

[ride_4ever]

Yes, all that being remembered was a bright spot after being sad about missing the con.

[nakeisha]

That's good to hear. It's nice when you can find something bright after a disappointment.

I <3 your wolf icon (and of course Dief approves).

Wow! What a great way to be mentioned and remembered!

And I love the story about Jason Momoa, too. I've always heard he was extra nice to his fans and people in general. He sure seems to have the energy for it.

Paul's giggle! That makes me giggle every time I think of it!

[grey853]

He does have a fabulous giggle. Makes him even more adorable.
