Leviosa and the calling of Harry Potter

Jul 11, 2016 17:13

You guys!

So I went to leviosa2016 over the weekend and I guess the fruits of that labor are best summed up by the fact that i just spent several hours downloading a bunch of handwavey tech magic that would allow me to install Semagic on my Mac. Semagic! I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH, Semagic. (Semagic is to LJ what XKit is to Tumblr, I suppose. Long may it ( Read more... )

I'm about to post a serious thinky piece about what I learned at Leviosa and just wanted to say thank you for your contributions on the panels and to fandom more generally. You have literally made me a better person by educating people and you have helped shape a community in which I have gained self-knowledge and joy the likes of which I can't really describe. God, am I still fangirling? Ugh, I'm sure I'll stop at some point.

Anyway, welcome back to LJ and H/D!!!

Misti is this really immersive, lovely space. The hotel is older, and on a lake, and is all ours. The whole space is decorated, and the idea is that we are all actually witches and wizards, coming together for whatever the theme is that year. I found it to be very magical and sparkly! The panels are good, though most are at least somewhat less academically focused than at Leviosa. There is more cosplay, as both book characters and as the sort of "you as a witch" sort that I prefer. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. I left Misti last year full of squee and, honestly, a very magical feeling. It is an unironicly joyful space, and I loved that.

Yessss come to Misti. Everyone should come to Misti!

Thank you for the Adversarial Slash panel! It was the only one of yours I could attend, as this con was unusually full of fantastic things all scheduled at the same time. Such fun!
