OMG Vividcon Yay!
So yeah, that's about how I feel. When's the last time I posted about a con? Squeed about a con? Made a long post about a con, or even anything fannish? I can't even remember (even though I've certainly had plenty of fun at cons over the past few years). It was starting to feel like maybe I needed to turn in my fangirl credentials ( Read more... ) -
Pros Slash Zine: Never Far Apart 2
I'm very pleased to announce that at long last Never Far Apart 2, which "premiered" at Close Quarters a few weeks ago, is now available for ordering ( Read more... ) -
Never Far Apart 2
Close Quarters is this weekend, and while it felt a little touch and go there for a while, it looks like everything's mostly in order, and I'm totally excited. The loss of my little Arnold, which was two years ago today, cast a bit of a pall for me over the first one. Minotaur's death made preparations for this one tough going for a bit, but at ( Read more... ) -
Equine therapy
I'm low, low, low, and lower, but trying to focus on the eight million things I have to do. Friends are very good - you know who you are; thank you, love you. :-) The horses help a lot, too; there's nothing as comforting as a horse, even a lame one (ah, the ongoing saga of Bodie...). They're big and solid and they smell good, and they don't mind ( Read more... ) -
Terrible news...
I just received an email passing on the heartbreaking news that minotaurs passed away this morning, and I'm sitting here in stunned disbelief and denial. Stuart was one of the first fans I met outside my local group, and for my first three or four years in fandom, at every con I went to - and there were at least three or four a year - I shared a room with ( Read more... ) -
DW and other random thoughts
It's such an unbelievably gorgeous day. This time of year is so beautiful around here...
I am now on dreamwidth as justacat. However, I have not yet decided how I'm going to be using it. I seem to be feeling a lot more...caution, or trepidation, or wariness, about this apparent dw migration than most of the people I've seen mentioning it. I don't ( Read more... ) -
Reading!
Suddenly I find myself, for the first time in a long time, just full of things to post about. I have no idea where to start! Should I try to put everything into one post? Hmm... Well, maybe not. It's getting to be time to start thinking, and posting, about Close Quarters - very exciting, and all you Pros fans should sign up and come and spread the ( Read more... ) -
What month is it again?
If I start trying to apologize or explain about completely failing at everything I've been completely failing at for a while now - namely fandom, and my fandom projects/obligations (none of which have been abandoned, but all of which have been put on hold for the moment), and keeping in touch - I'll never have the courage or energy to post again, ( Read more... ) -
A sad day
It's been kind of a rough month, and I guess bad things come in packages: my father-in-law died this morning. I seldom talk about this kind of thing in my LJ, but I think this merits an exception, because he was a remarkable man, and his life, and accomplishments, were so amazing. He fled from Nazi Germany in 1939 when he was 17 and ended up in ( Read more... ) -
What could suck enough to finally drive me to post...:-)
I cannot believe how long it's been since I've posted - I barely even remember how to do it. I have so many things I haven't written about - I'm still apologizing to my local crew for not telling them about my broken rib, which happened more than a month ago now! - and there's horse stuff: how Doha's adjusting, Bodie updates, and new fun stuff I' ( Read more... )
