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.

This from a person who's neck-deep in organizing her own conference? Shame. :)

Yes, but but...! I'd so much rather be at someone else's conference now!

So, we swap? This year: HP in Copenhagen, next year: slash in Maryland.

Sounds pretty good to me :-) I am so going to have to go to the States next year! (Unless of course the world has done one of its twists again and I've moved to London, because that will mean being even poorer *G*
