Worldcon report

[januarium]

Okay this is going to be short and concentrate on Potterish things and possibly name-dropping.

So, I went to the Glasogow in scotland last week and I:-

- Went to a Potter party that rocked. I spent about 40 minutes to an hour talking slash with a lovely girl I met them about two hours talking serious canon stuff and being the resident scary obsessive (in GoF it says x once so y can't happen, JKR said in an interview blah, etc.). It was great fun.

- Iain M. Banks read the quidditch world cup chapter from GoF in the kids programming and I went (originally it was Robert Rankin. And RR actually likes HP, whereas IMB is one of the many authors who vocally doesn't, I found this funny). It was followed by a dull discussion that I could have lead better, because the people didn't seem to realise they were talking to kids at a science fiction convention

- I had a Hugo down my cleavage, and played ringtoss with them. For those who don't know, the Hugos are sf achievements awards. They are shaped like big, silver cocks rockets. And this is just me showing off.

- I discussed werewolf rights with Terry Pratchett! Not in a hp setting, because I'm not insane, but still. We also discussed archery, sauce and paintballing, but that's not as cool as werewolf politics.

Okay, I did a hell of a lot more, but I douby most of that will be interesting to y'all, so I'll leave it there!

Can I see pics of the Hugo meets Cleavage incident? ;) Glad you had such a lovely time, dearheart. *loves*

You know, I think I managed to avoid pictures of that. My sister didn't but I don't know who took those (and I had in down there longer then her :P).

*loves back*

Lucky you! And back in time for beta duty. If she ever gets it done. *excessive (and totally joking) eye-roll*

See, I have amazing super powers of being here.

Although as I'm being just as bad as her and begging people who don't even normally beta for me to do it before monday, so I'm far worse).

You mean what will be interesting? Well, I also find it very funny my cleavage has been mentioned in at least 3 con reports and only once in regards to hugos.

And as far as I know, there are no photos of that incedent, so there.

Oh, am I allowed to publicly squee and show photos of my marvellous gift yet???? Please? Please? Everyone who has been to my house loves it beyond belief, naturally. :)

Of course they did. I need to know whether Ray got her gift first, then I'll tell you.

You aren't the worst beta imaginable, you're just super-busy. I can totally understand that. (I was supposed to have some free time. Now I'm going to a friends on sunday, a games weekend week after and possibly France after that).

He was in disguise all weekend (no hat). The werewolves convo was random, but later I discovered I could only find one person I knew in the whole place and she happened to be talking to Terry (they're friends). So I went and talked to them!
