Con.txt post the third (final)

Part one
Part two

Okay, we are going chronologically-ish through the rest. This doc is up to page 11 in Word; I don't have the energy to organize it in any more nuanced way!

( The Rule of Names )

( Gender and Sexuality Across Cultures )

( Size Doesn't Matter (except when it does) [reading and writing long fic] )

( Writing Trans Characters )

( Personality Typing and Character Analysis for Better Fanworks (Greg House is an INTP) )

( Subtext Is Not the Only Text )

( Femslash Fandom Faire )

( My Kink's OK, Your Kink's OK Revisited )

( Fandom and the Law )

There were a few other panels I would have liked to have gone to, if they hadn't conflicted with something else—Hunger Games, Going Pro, On Beyond Pairings, and Doctor Who: Moff's Long Game. Looking forward to other write-ups on these. I see duskpeterson has already done one on the Pro panel.

What else haven't I mentioned. Well, I tried to say something in each session I went to, which was unusual. It helped to know a lot of the people. Starting to read other people's reports about skipping programming and hanging out with people makes me wonder once again if my con experience will ever evolve into attending fewer panels and engaging in less structured socializing/room parties, maybe as topics become less new and appealing. It's not like the panels have a monopoly on intellectual dialogue (I must remind myself). I dunno; I've always been more of a lecture person.

Whatever: That was my weekend at con.txt in a nutshell. A... really big nutshell. Whew! As Mark Twain might have said, I would have written you a shorter post, but I didn't have the time.
