*flop* I definitely ran out of spoons for socializing. I'm still suffering those effects.

Stuff that happened: I met a bunch of people! Including zeenell in meatspace for the first time, viklikesfic, cesy, cinco, eleanor_lavish, schuyler, melannen, libitina, merisunshine36, and lots of other people.

A+++ con, would attend again. (Already preregistered for 2012!)

Panels etc: Friday
11AM: Gay & Lesbian Movies That Don't Suck (in which we compiled a very long list of movies that are not tragic and miserable and filled with Dead Queers)
1PM: What We Talk About When We Talk About Slash Fandom (I came in late and only caught about half of this one)
2PM: Taking Over the Asylum (in which we talked about showrunners Doin It Rite and Doin It Rong when it comes to fandom and their own fannish sensibilities)
3PM: Crackfic (debate over the definition of AU, as well as various people's thoughts on why some fandoms are full of crack and others are not)
4PM: Kinked for Kink Memes (list of kink memes compiled, discussion of the increasing kink-friendliness of fandom)
5PM: Free Culture & Open Source Software (Dreamwidth and AO3, represented by synecdochic and cesy)
8PM: Disco Duck

Panels etc: Saturday
12PM: RPF DIY Panel (in which we made a nice long list of more obscure RPF characters and pairings we want someone to write about)
1PM: Bandom Panel (schuyler and eleanor_lavish brought booze so we could drown our sorrows)
2PM: AUs (in many ways, a continuation of the crackfic panel which had been dominated by the discussion of AUs)
3PM: Leverage OT3 (because I do totally ship it, and I fucking love the show)
4PM: White Collar (further talk of OT3s!)
5PM: Fandom Suddenly Loves the Ladies (in which female characters can be more than The Love Interest, the lines between slash and het are no longer quite so defended with razor wire, and OT3s happen way more than they used to)
6PM: Chris Pine SWOT
8PM: Vid Show

Panels etc: Sunday
10AM: Auction/Raffle
11AM: Fandom, Copyright, and Copyleft (mod melannen's panel handout)
12PM: We <3 the BBC (huge list of British tv shows)
1PM: Building an Active Community (moar synecdochic)
2PM: They Fight Crime! (More or Less)
3PM: Dead Duck

And then I watched STR and Leverage with assorted fangirls.

Eee, glad you had a good time -- it sounds really fun! I would love to see some of the very long lists, especially the gay and lesbian movies one. Less tragedy and misery, pls!

[languisity]

I'm glad you had a good time. ♥

Hello! I too am still suffering from overpeopleness, but omg, I had a fantastic time--and now I want to attend cons all the time. Quarterly! Well, probably not. But it was so much fun!

And sadly I am already confused about who was who--my name/face recognition is not what it could be. Was your username the same as your nametag, or were you perhaps wearing anything memorable? Just in case other people have these problems, I'm usually the shortest person in range and was the one asking everyone heaps of n00b bandom questions. ;-D

I'm so glad you had a good time! I don't suppose the list from the Gay and Lesbian Movies That Don't Suck panel is online anywhere? I was working security during that panel, so I couldn't go. :(

I wish I'd been able to go :( I went to the one before, but I got sick, and Emma's ex-second asshole was in fine fettle that week, so.

I am terribly confused. I had my eye out for you all weekend, and was apparently in the same room as you several times, including the STR and Leverage parties, but I forgot to ask what name you'd have on your badge beforehand, and I completely missed you. Rats!
