That Vancouver con *where I was not*

There's a lovely, detailed writeup of JF and DH's panel at VanCon, with pictures and lots of text, at [livejournal.com profile] crysothemis's LJ:
http://crysothemis.livejournal.com/126593.html

And [livejournal.com profile] winter_elf has a bunch of adorable pictures too, in several posts (probably best to just click over and see what she's got).

[livejournal.com profile] kristen999 has roundup posts here and here.

Anyone seen a good write-up for Rachel's talk? I've only seen a couple pictures of her floating around from the con (like all the rest of them, though, she looks relaxed and happy). (ETA2: Found one! No pictures, alas ...)

I'm kind of alternating between total squee at the pictures, and feeling grouchy and sad about not going. On the other hand, it was a gorgeous warm weekend and I got a ton of writing done (finished my Genficathon fic; worked on some original stuff that I'm really happy with). And my amaryllis is blooming. :) So not a total waste of a weekend at all.

ETA: Also, I'm still working on my website, so don't be alarmed if things mysteriously vanish because, say, some idiot deleted half the files. *kicks self*

I haven't seen anything about Sunday at all. I'd love to see something on Rachel's talk she was so lovely last year. I know you must feel bittersweet about the con, but those things are crazy expensive and your gut told you one thing and those instincts are normally good.

Yay on getting some writing done and I look forward to visiting your website when it is done.

I need to run back and get some writing done of my own.

*nods* Yeah; in the long run, it was the right decision and it felt very much like the right decision. But it sounds like I missed some awesome stuff! I figured there would be photos, though, and luckily nice people are nice enough to share them. (It's just a shame that Creation doesn't allow video. I really hope someone was able to sneak some!)

I've seen a few pictures of Rachel with fans at her photo op, and there was a mention somewhere that she had her son with her. But I'm curious what she talked about! And I want piccies. :D *is greedy*

...I had totally forgotten about genficathon until this second.

Thanks for the links!

*laughs* I don't think you're the only one - including me; there's only been one story turned in so far! Still a month to go, though.

Ok, that's reassuring! I doubt it'll be terribly long though, with revision and big bang and stuff... I may just do several short stories instead, would that be ok?

Oh absolutely. :) I've relaxed the rules a lot this year (I think I was being unreasonably draconian about various nitpicky things in past years) - you can turn in five stories for the same prompt if you want to! Or get more prompts!

Wow, thanks for the links! I'd forgotten about it, but the JF & DH panel sounds AWESOME. I see myself making time for some vid hunting on youtube in the near future ;-P

Let me know if you find anything! My searches have been coming up empty, alas. :( And yes, it does sound like a marvelously fun thing!

Lovely links! I added them to my memories list of vancon reports (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=x_varda_x&keyword=VancouverCon%202010&filter=all) *hugs* for not being there - hope the reports make up for it :)

I'm still pondering my genfication prompt. I'm hoping something will fall out in the next couple of weeks :o

Ooh, thank you very much! There are a few here that I haven't seen. :)

Let me know if you simply can't make the prompt work and would like another one instead.

Thanks! I have an idea, it's just finding the motivation to sit down and write the thingie - I keep thinking, 'Bah, still another month - I'll do it next week!'

I have a fic to write for this Friday called 'Planet England' (St George's Day dragon/Brit!slang fun) but then I'll be free from all commitments to go genficcing! apart from the ol' [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100, but let's not go there ;)

Just stumbled across this con report:
http://www.wormholeriders.com/blog/?p=12285

It has some bits on Rachel's talk and pics (you have to scroll down a little)!

I have pictures of Rachel to post. Hopefully tonight.

Yay! :D

I certainly hope that my request didn't sound like a criticism of the pictures that have been posted so far. :D I've been positively wallowing in Flanigan-and-Hewlett squeeness over the last couple of days, and I really, really appreciate you guys who were there sharing your pictures with the rest of us!

I lost yesterday due to traveling. I concentrated first on Joe & David, but I also took pictures of Andee, Rachel, Chris Heyerdahl and Michael.

I messed up on Rachel's panel but if you friend me back, you'll be able to find some goodies from Saturday's panels. :D

OMG, you have AUDIO! *squeaks and flails and runs to download* :DDDDD

Hope you enjoy! My favorite..."I'm so ashamed." Oh poor Joe.
