con.txt envy

[bironic]

Oh my God. Con.txt. I heard about it months ago when people were recapping Escapade and then I completely forgot to check back to see what the programming would be like, and now it is this weekend and it is filled with fandom panels that sound so wonderful I'm tearing up with longing. Woe!

But look. Look! --

• Did I Mention House and Wilson Should Make Out On Screen?
• What Were They Thinking?: When Subtext Becomes Text
• Canon, Fanon, and the Suspension of Disbelief - The Role of Research in Contemporary Fanfiction Writing
• The care and feeding of OT3s
• Slashing the Past
• Allure of the Other (or, What's a Hero Got to Do These Days to Get Some Fannish Loving?)
• Complicated & Conflicting Canon
• Firefly: Sexual Ethics of the 'Verse

*sob*

I shall hug my WIPs for comfort and hope that con-goers do write-ups after.

Now I wish you hadn't posted that, because I will start to cook up plots whereby carpools and small donations allow both of us to go. :)

Next year, indeed. 2007 is the "off" year for the BtVS conference, so there won't be any calendar crowding where that's concerned, and it's close enough geographically that with a little planning (and hopefully some company!) it should be easy to go.
