Terminus. Brain Overload. Critical Mass. *'splode*

[mijan]

Yes, I know, I've not been around. I haven't looked at my f-list in days. Maybe weeks, I don't know. I haven't posted. I just started a new job (which is fantastic, btw), have been working on the new house (which needs a LOT of work), making a new garden (which isn't dead yet), and trying to do SOME wand carving before summer hits (*cries*). I feel like the worst person in fandom due to sheer non-existence. I'm almost afraid that I'll get to Terminus, and everyone will have forgotten me. *sigh* Anyway...

The Programming Table for Terminus is public. I finally know when I'm going to be presenting, and… shit, this is a lot of stuff. Just for my own sanity, can you take a look at what I'm presenting, when I'm presenting it, and IF you're going to Terminus, PLEASE tell me which ones you might/will attend. Thanks.

Okay, so this is a LOT of stuff. When I sent in my submissions, I did NOT expect them to accept all of my proposals. I expected two, MAYBE three. And not only did they accept all FIVE, but they've got me scheduled for TWO SESSIONS of a 90-minute presentation. I know this is going to sound pathetic, but… I want to attend some presentations by OTHER people too!  I really didn't expect to have so... MUCH.  *flail*

I'm going to ask if I can get out of one of the Sadistic Authors presentations. If they let me… which one should I get out of? Friday or Sunday? Look at the overlaps, and tell me what you think. Also, if you want to attend Sadistic Authors (which is NOT just about Sadomasochism, but ALL forms of character torment), please tell me which one you might attend. I'd try to drop the one that has less potential attendance.

Anyway, here's a partial list of the presentations that I want to attend:

FRIDAY

- Warner Bros. v. RDR Books *OR* Censorship in Fandom
- From Rivals to Romance: H/D fanon/canon (furiosity, Saber ShadowKitten)

SATURDAY

Waaaaay too many that I want to attend in the morning. Which ones are you attending?

- Fandom and LJ Changes
- Acting Improv and Writing workshop
- Lockhart Paradox
- Goodnight, Sweet Prince
- Draco Malfoy roundtable
- No Place to Stand
- Writing Character Voice
- Slytherin Royale
- Was Draco Redeemed?
- Fanfic Reading: Draco Malfoy and the Heart of Slytherin

SUNDAY MORNING:
- Queering of Dumbledore (all, I think)

SUNDAY AFTERNOON:

There are four things I want to see all at the same time:
- Wanking and Wanking Off
- Fanart and Cosplay
- Spare the Rod
- Geovicki's AS/S roundtable

There are also things I want to see during some of my own presentations. *sigh* Can't have it all, I suppose.

So, tell me… what are you planning to attend?

So many panels and roundtables sound so good!!!

I'm going to geoviki's roundtable, for sure! :D

...that good coffee sounds good, too. Perhaps I can bring some bags of coffee as an offering. :D
(Organic and Fair Trade, of course)
I just got some great 30th anniversary coffee from the Santa Cruz Roasting Company. Thirty years!
Born in the late seventies like me. :P

I cannot imagine fandom forgetting you! You're an icon, darling, as well as warm and real. We keep people like that close to our hearts. I love fandom! :D

*wibbles* No, I'm not an icon. Not by a long shot. I wrote a fanfic a long time ago, and I'm constantly amazed that people are still reading it and loving it. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that I'm not forgotten.

And coffee is ALWAYS a good offering! SQUEE!

So, you'll come to some of my roundtables? :D

Hee. I was thinking you were an icon for your awesome portrayal of Harry at cons, actually. ;p

Yes, I will definitely come to some of your roundtables! ;D
