Got a shiny new fandom? Having a renaissance in an old one? REPRESENT!

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Or, y'know, just present.

I know, I know, we're all still in a fandom drought, but there have been some new bursts of fannish squee this last year. Don't worry if you can't do a full 15 or 30 minutes, even five or ten is fine.

Also! There have been some really great retrospectives done over the years. I loved mab_browne's "30 Years Before the Mast" last year, and I'm planning on actually doing the "Ten Years of G/T" thing this year that I was too tired/unwell for last year. If you've got a fannish journey to share with us, please do!

Also of note last year was stickmarionette and shihadchick's tribute to the now vanished Star Wars extended universe. One of these days I'll actually do my long threatened Smallville Renaissance. Have you got an old fandom that featured at g/t way back in the day? Revisit it and let us nod nostalgically (or have our eyes opened) along with you. (Remember when incest shipping was shocking and I warned for the presentation???)

Anyway. Volunteer! For a little or a lot.

Isn't every G/T accidental Smallville renaissance time? :DDD

...and so I didn't just comment to make jokes, can I suggest a discussion on fannish infrastructure maybe? There was one at MJ that was reportedly rly good but I couldn't get to, but I bet between the lot of us we could manage to do justice to the topic. (I will happily point at people/tell them to shh to save your having to do so if you like, too.)

I can do a Looking pimp as you already noted.

You can also put me down for a m/m romance fandom session if you think there would be interest. I was thinking more the "where to find stuff and people" than actual book recommendations. But if you feel that m/m rom was covered enough a few years ago, I'm happy to skip it.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Nope, more than happy for an update. \o/

I can do The Fall (why Stella Gibson is awesome) and Killjoys, both reasonably short. I thought about doing a Dark Matter intro as like this year's sci fi but I can't muster enough enthusiasm to reach the finale so I don't think I should bother.

I will do a Miss Fisher pimp reel. Just wanted to confirm via comment.

If a Blu-ray player is available to the con, I can bring some shiny new Pros discs for lunch time viewing or whatever. I can also bring season 1 in plain old dvd, but the best slashy stuff is in later seasons.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can justify bringing my blu-ray player along with everything else I have to cram in the boot, sorry! But damn, I would have liked to leer at the new shiny!

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Well, is it worth bringing just the plain DVDs then? There are still some cute episodes in season 1, even if they're not the best ones

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I've got the whole lot on dvd if we need them. <3

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Ok. I do have a duplicate of the remastered set on DVD. I'll bring them, because the difference is pretty killing, in the good way. *g*
