Everything intersects

I forgot to write my about-to-step-on-the-roller-coaster entry, so here is my already-on-the-roller-coaster entry.

July and August will be equal parts buckets of stress and buckets of fun. So far on the docket:

*One of my WI friends' sons is with me this week for fun and frolic in MI (fun! stress!)
*Two craft shows; one in my parents' teeny town in northern MI (fun! stress!), one nearby (stress!)
*Two teeny shows with my merchandise (stress!)
*One show with my friends from WI, which will be about eight days of work (fun! stress!)
*Rock concert I probably should not be going to because I have too much on my plate
*Terminus, with awesome sauce, but also with stress fries, because I am presenting a paper with gmonkey42 on Sunday (fun! stress!)

Thank goodness I'm going to Cape Cod at the end of August for the honeymoon. I have a feeling I will need it terribly by that point.

gmonkey42 and I are presenting Snape’s Mary Sues: A Visual Field Guide for Identifying and Understanding Mary Sues Paired with Snape () on Sunday at 3pm. eee! I'm so excited--but I'm terrified, too!!

Mary Sue is a well-known phenomenon affecting the portrayal of Original Fictional Characters in fanfiction. Also known as author self-insertion, and often considered a rite of passage for a writer, Mary Sue is a method of wish-fulfillment, one that allows the writer to experience the story through the creation and insertion of their own avatar. The character of Severus Snape is often the object of Mary Sue’s affection, and we will discuss the appearances and incarnations of Mary Sues who are most often paired with him, with accompanying visuals.

Sounds great! I might actually get to go to that one! I'm especially curious about the "visuals."

I know, I'm excited and yet soooo nervous about all the things I'm doing at Terminus!

But it will be soooo fun!
