Prophecy, Entry Eleven. Final thoughts.

[valis2]

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.

I am still trying to decide. Chicago is so, so close.

Dallas--I'm really not certain about that. It's probably a tentative no. But Chicago is tempting...

If I go to either one it will definitely be Chicago, but I won't know until after the first of the year, when ye olde finances are on firmer ground.

If I do go, I'm going to hunt around for a cheaper hotel--we lucked out with Expedia for Prophecy, but I'm no longer so committed to staying in the con hotel for these things. I'll probably look for something that I can easily afford in case I end up going alone. And I might not even bother registering for the con--after all, I only go to these things for the social aspects, not the programming.

So, assuming I still have any interest in going by then, I'll pester you about this in January. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

haha! I just have to consult my calendar, I'm kind of 80% in favor of the Chicago con.

Dallas, though...ugh. I just am not a Texas-lover, sorry to say.

Form of...baguette!

Word. I've never been to Texas, but as a native Californian, it scares the fug out of me. ;/
I think several of my friends are going, though...and the time frame is maybe-better, but Chicago is starting to look like an option, too. We'll see...

I've been to Texas, and it's...not my idea of fun. Especially in July.

Chicago is looking very promising, though.
