Cons: media and SF.

Media*West Con and media cons: here's M-West's own history.

I've been to a few media cons.  Not a lot, mind you, just a couple.  Comic-Con 2007 is a media con -- and possibly Omegacon.  Plus there's M-West as of this weekend.  Unlike sf cons, to which I have attended oodles...

Some other time I'll talk about Omegacon 2008 (down in Birmingham, Alabama) and why it probably counted as a media/sf con.


(I'll do a little con report on M-West around month-end.  Should be good -- or great! So many SH panels makes me realize they must have a large contingent of Sherlockians, huzzah.

[ETA:  Or set of con reports, since I did post Fannish Friday already last weekend, out of vast enthusiasm.]

Really wish I could see oodles of you there! but M-West IS a smallish local con, sigh.)

Fannish Friday...

... Or, I have an eyeball.

Went to first day of Media*West yesterday.  This is a local fan-run con [ETA with their FAQ for your info], no guests, just fans.  It's lovely.

Panels on BBC Sherlock, tiny fandoms, audio goodies (run by my boyfriend -- about podcasts, BBC Radio 4, etc.), Benedict Cumberbatch, and also the Sherlock party.

At the latter we played Cards Against Humanity, the Sherlock version.  Much hilarity and rudeness!

The hostess at the party brought me a [lavender] tumbler of water that had an eyeball in it.  Which I got to keep.

From blogger: "Short version: Not dead."

Hi, folks!  Sorry to have vanished. I went to Penguicon and came back with a new boyfriend, while having a deadline to clear away upon my return... and so the fan blog got neglected.  A lot.  8(

Apologies, as Mycroft would say -- but with more feeling.  ;d  Far more.

Nor have I been on Twitter that much either, my usual stomping ground for all things involving Team Sherlock.

Benedict Cumberbatch: 'Sherlock special and series 4 will be phenomenal' at Digital Spy -- also includes an hour of interview with Andrew Scott!

My thoughts on His Last Vow.

I believe this was inspired by a post at SherlockCares.  It may have been an email, however.  I know the quote isn't mine.

Grab bag with My Dear Bessie love letters...

Because Twitter is the path to knowing learning things.  ;D

A cure for the hiatus -- go to another planet!
