Notcapade
Kicking things off:
To all those of you going to Escapade, safe travels and happy gathering!
To those of you who are not going (like me), I issue the following challenge: sometime in the next 3 days, post something to your LJ that you think people would like to talk about, have an actual discussion about, whether it's just "Why We Love {Character/Show/Episode/Book/Plot}" or an analysis or a metacommentary or even a "How do you explain/avoid explaining this wacky fandom thing to friends/family/co-workers?" Then, as you read your friends list, make a point of digging a couple of layers into comments.
I know, I know, we do that anyway. But there is cool discussion going on this weekend that I can be there for, so I want the next best thing, dammit, even if I'm going to be at my mother's and barely able to participate.
ETA: However folks want to handle the structure here is fine with me, but I figure this can be our all-purpose linking back post. If you post something in your LJ, just comment here with a link.
