My Arisia 2015 schedule, for anyone who's curious:

[ajodasso]

Queering Up Canon / Marina 1 / Sunday, 2:30 PM (1hr15min)
Much fanfic has a large interest in QUILTBAG themes. Maybe your fic involves making characters of the same gender fall in love with each other, having a character established as cis turn out to be trans, or asking if Sherlock has never shown any interest in a "proper" Victorian marriage

I live so close now, relatively speaking, that having a room would be somewhat superfluous; last year I just tended to stay very late in the evenings and take cabs home if it got too ridiculously cold.

quincy is a hike from the boston waterfront, unfortunately. it takes me longer to get home from the westin than it does from work.

Oh, yikes :(

Hey, have you met lollardfish? He's a medieval historian friend of mine (we went to UMN together briefly), a geek, and a disability advocate. He's usually at K'Zoo. You might find his blog interesting considering your Arisia schedule: www.thismess.net.

OMG, Get Fuzzy. I haven't thought about that comic in ages.

(Hello!)

I'm really interested in the assistive tech thing. I wrote a review of Lock In talking about these issues.

I don't really like aspects of the essay rhetorically, but the core exploration of the issues, I hope, is solid.
