Prophecy, Entry Nine. Summaries: Saturday.

If you thought I was long-winded before, well, you haven't seen this entry.

I don't even know who is reading these at this point. I'm fairly certain the only entertaining one was the first, and they all go downhill from there.

( Saturday, DH spoilers, la and la. )

Prophecy, Entry Ten. Summaries: Sunday.

( Sunday, one image, blah blah blah. )

Prophecy, Entry Eleven. Final thoughts.

All cons have a unique flavor, it seems. While this one resembled Lumos, it still had its own look and feel, and even though I enjoyed it very much, I realize that a few things happened at this one that didn't happen at the other two.

First and foremost, I took the fewest pics ever, I think. Especially of costume characters. I caught most of them at PR, but not here. And that was because...

Secondly, I met the fewest number of new people--I spent a ton of time with old friends at this con. Julian, Margina, and Gmonkey--we were definitely like the Three Musketeers, in a way. Which is not bad! Not at all! It was simply different.

Also, I got more involved in the Snarry stuff. The new people I met were mostly Detroit-area Snarry lovers, and that's a great thing--I'm really, really hoping that it will lead to more RL get-togethers in the future. I've been neglecting the idea of a Detroit get-together because I've been so busy. But seriously, there are some great LJers/fandomers here, and I can't wait to hang out with them and get my fandom fix. heh.

The con was great. Now I have to think about cons in the future...because it is an expense, as you all know. And I should be saving for a house and stuff. But here I am, singing Bohemian Rhapsody in a hotel room instead.

I have to say that I also feel like a bit of closure is looming for me, too. DH kind of put an end to many things in my head, and I can't seem to revive them. I absolutely love writing tLS, and am committed to finishing it, and I have a few other stories, and there's Snupin Santa, but other than that--I feel like it's finished, like the story is done, and I don't need to write it any longer. No, this is not the BUHBYE FANDOM thing at all. I just think that only time will tell if I can get my HP on again.

I had a lovely time at the con, and welcome to the new friends in the journal! Sorry about the spammage, too.

And as far as the controversy goes

...unfortunately, I have just paid for a permanent account. I was thinking (too optimistically) that it seemed like it had returned to normal, but now I see that it was just a calm in the storm.

I did delete my Vox account. And I told them why--that it was my first step, considering the treatment of fandom artists on LJ. Not that they care at all, but what the hell.

I didn't like Vox anyway.

So the long shot is, I've created an Insanejournal, and here I am on Journalfen and GreatestJournal. This is still my primary journal, and I love it, but if fandom migrates, I'll be migrating with it--because that's where it's at, for me.

ETA: Oh, and I found the Brad leaving thing to be a bit worrisome.

Prophecy, Entry Twelve. Misc.

Oh, and I almost forgot. At one point I was sitting with a group of people, and one of us was mentioning the different fandom_wank groups, and then another person walking past said very loudly, "Fandom wankers just need to get laid." I believe she thought we were complaining about f_w.

No one pointed out to her that nearly everyone there was a fandom_wanker, hilariously enough, and she'd just said the equivalent of, "It's fanFICTION, I can write what I want."

Also, I wanted to make something nice to hand out at the con, so I contacted sigune and asked her to design something for me, which I then had another person make into pendants for me (she did the coloring effects and found the "S". xterm just mentioned it, and I realized I had forgotten to show it in my journal. So here it is, in all its glory, both sides...

I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST ENTRY FOR TODAY BLAAAAAAArgh

I just can't seem to pull myself away from the computer. I'm running off to pick up my friend's kid from WI, and will bring him back to spend the weekend with me here in MI. We'll go to the zoo and stuff.

But I just can't get away from the computer. So. Many. Entries. And I haven't even gotten to the Prophecy stuff yet. Still skip 520. I've read over 400 entries in 12 hours and I'm just frantic, because I want to read it all--there's so much going on, and yeah, Prophecy.

*growls*

Will be back tomorrow, but I don't know how much I'll be on during the weekend, it all depends on the kid.
