Working again. Yay. Had to wake up before 7 am, which was bloody murser. Am not a morning person.

Hesari had an article about fanfic and about slash. Blaah blaah. I've never seen a good article about fanfic, and probably will never see one. But the article made me want to attend a con, so will definitely go to Finncon next year, especially if they'll hold it in Turku. mace_m, that might be a very good timing for yet another slashmeet.

Slashmeets! How I love them! Will have to think about something cool to do in August. Heh... We'll end up eating a lot, giggling a lot and I think at least someone will harass my cats. Great!

Just how crap was the article? *is curious*

And I with they held Finncon in Helsinki again... Turku is a bit too far for a grouse to fly:(

[omega-h.livejournal.com]

I don't think it'll be in Turku next year. Because otherwise they would be organicing it already and I haven't heard a thing.

[mace-m.livejournal.com]

Oh! Someone told me last year in Fincon that it would be in Turku again in two years, but they might have been mistaken.

[omega-h.livejournal.com]

Really? Well, in that case I haven't heard anything about it.

[mace-m.livejournal.com]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, if it's here next year or not. But it would be lovely if it was held here, since I really want to attend, but don't want to travel across half the country to get to a con.

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

I tried to find out where they'll hold it, but there was nothing in the 'net. I'm kind of hoping it'll be either in Turku or Helsinki, since otherwise there'll be problems with lodgings and stuff.

I must wonder... That professor studying fanfic. I've never heard of her. It might have been interesting (and probably frustrating as hell) to listen to her lecture.

If the con is held in Turku next year, that would be a great excuse for having you guys over again! Do we need an excuse? I think not. I so miss you guys that it's pathetic. Could we not have that commune after all? ::whines pitifully::

I will volunteer for cat harassing duty. And I can think of someone else as well ...

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've noticed how the slashmeets have gone from 'let's meet again in three months or so' to 'can we see like next month? please???'.

Not that I'm complaining! I find the idea of that commune more appealing every day! Non-slash people can be so... aaargh!

But the con! I've never been to a con! Should go some day, especially if they have interesting topics or guests (even though have heard so many lousy things about actors I'm not sure I wanna spoil my character squee by meeting the idiots live...).

[mace-m.livejournal.com]

The mundanes are ... boring. And too caught up with trivial things. The more I meet slashers, the more I start to appreciate our "positive insanity". Our commune might be weird, we might get evicted a lot, and we'd undoubtedly fight about whose turn it was to do the dishes again, but we'd never, ever be boring!

I'd never been to a con before Fincon last year, and it was much less of a big fuss and less formal that I would have thought. The speakers were really interesting though. I just wish that the next time they have Fincon, there's be something directed directly to us slashers.

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

:D I totally agree about the mundanes! It's really annoying when I'm all squee about something and I get a *whithering* look from someone who'll accent the look with 'hey isn't being all silly about a *movie* like *so* passé?'

Of course there are idiot slashers as well. But fortunately you'll recognize them soon enough and then you can avoid them or something.

I've thought about going to a con, but haven't managed it yet. Maybe I should start with Finncon as well. Damn, I wish I knew where it's held next year. I'd also like to know just exactly what did they talk about slash and fic in general this year. :D

[mace-m.livejournal.com]

They held a fanfic(/slash) panel in Fincon this year, too? That would have been interesting to listen. Well. maybe we get our chance on a later date.

BTW, I'd like to reserve the same bedding for August's slashmeet as last time, if possible. Thank you!

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

I think they did, since they babbled about slash in that Hesari article. I'm not sure if I could listen to it without at least muttering darkly to myself, but it would be an experience...

Bedding reserved! :P

[tvillingar.livejournal.com]

I'll probably be the prime suspect for the cat-harassing... which can't be a surprise to anyone ;) I'll also put in a reservation for bed/couch since I still don't have a sleeping bag.

About Finncon: do we know anyone who's attending this year so we could ask about how the lectures were?

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

The bed/couch is yours, then! Yay for those who are smart enough to make reservations, for the others will be forced to sleep on the floor.

I don't know anyone attending. Maybe I should leave a small note on the damn suomi_slash community no one apparently reads. :D
