(Part one is here)
Okay, apparently I'm not done talking about names, because I neglected to mention down-from-NY hannahrorlove yesterday as well as some other locals I don't usually get to see, like sharkie/wolfshark, plus new and/or vaguely recalled faces or usernames who have now solidified into full-fledged people in my brain—tell me I'm not the only one this happens to—like hurry_sundown, ciaan, lizweisharr, stultiloquentia, v_angelique and cesy.
The meeting of people began at check-in Thursday night with a button-making crafts table and the popular find-a-fan Bingo icebreaker game, where you look for attendees who match your squares. Examples included "not a slasher," "has contributed to Fanlore," "proudly wearing purple" and, awkwardly, "bottle blond(e)." I was able to help people out with their "has written tentacle porn" or "multifandom vidder" or "is a published writer" squares. There were more tentacle people at this con than you might expect! Sometimes someone had filled out the square before me! Throughout the weekend there were also sucker-studded tee shirts, stuffed cephalopods, and springy, tubular table decorations that were appropriated (not even by me) to hang Iron Man dolls etc. in compromising positions.
Thursday evening was also the point at which it became clear that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
con_txt would reflect the general sentiment in online fandom right now re: OMG AVENGERS YAY, when half the group split off to go see it again at the movie theater a few blocks from the con hotel. There were three or four other group outings to see it, along with some room parties. Clearly I should have put up an invitation to go see Prometheus—still haven't gone—but when you want to go to the con programming and don't like staying up late, it's hard to find the time!
Anyhow, let us talk about some meta panels. Wow, we are not going in chronological order at all.
( Old Fandoms Never Die )
( Bring Back that Loving Feeling )
( Age Disparities in Slash Relationships )
( The Phylogeny of Speculative Erotica )
More (and mostly shorter) meta panel recaps to come later. Now we will talk about the vid show!
( Vid show! )
Break time. Last post forthcoming within the next couple of days.
ETA: Part three now posted.
