So, my last post was a fairly whiny one about how I don't have any RL fandom friends and about how I wanted to go to Escapade 2013 but didn't want to go without knowing anyone there in advance. Since then, several excellent things have happened

I definitely feel you on the wanting local slash friends thing. I am the exact same way! I also had the same progression of finding the meetup group, hearing people at the meetup event talk about escapade, attaching myself to their car and room share, and then going to escapade. I am super excited to finally have fandom friends that I can meet in person. People who understand the impulse to marathon an entire season of a show in one night...and actually join me!! Anyway, it was great to meet you, let's hang out more in the future!

YES! About everything you said.

It is so great to have people I can talk to fandom about openly, rather than the awkward conversations when my parents want to know what I'm laughing about, or want me to explain things to them, or when my mother wanted me to send her a fic to see what they're all about ... yikes! RL fandom friends = best!

And the Teen Wolf season 2 marathon was great - though I don't know if I can ever look at the fic the same way now that I've actually seen it, lol! More watching parties!
