I had fun on Saturday. wyrdfae and I went to most of the panels (had a blast with the Supernatural, RPS, Heroes, and bdsm panel) Well okay those were the panels that I remember. Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 panel was frustrating because not everyone, actually I don't think anyone had actually seen the endng of SG-1 or the rest of season 3 Atlantis and yet the topic was "where is SG-1 and SGA going from here?" but mostly we just talked trash about Carter (well not season 1-3 Carter because everyone agreed she was great until season 4). I think it was agreed by most that M&M are incapble of writing women or their way out of a wet paper sack.

Anyway, this was a small low key con, mostly women fan fiction readers and writers it seemed like. I was able to browse the dealers room. (the only problem for me is that I'm trying not to buy zines anymore because I don't have room on my bookshelves) I had a lot of fun going through the photos but didn't buy anything. I didn't get a chance to see the music videos entered for the contest because I was at the Heroes panel..I was a bit dissapointed about that.

Oh and I think I managed to maybe convince a few people to check out Torchwood. :)


I'm not a zine maker but I gotta wonder if people are really buying zines the way they used to?

Don't mean to ask a silly question, but what exactly is a "Zine"?

[amalthia]

it's a fan publication..basically printed out fan fiction. For a long time if you wanted to read edited fan fiction zines were a really good place to go. But they cost money and take up bookshelf space.

however, lately I think since a lot more people have started to find beta readers the quality of fic online has increased.
