get_togetherWord on the street is a few of you are very excited about your new fandoms. I hope that means you've got follow through and are going to pimp them to the crowd. Now is your chance to volunteer!
As always, reminiscing about old fandoms is also welcome. Got your own version of my Inevitable Smallville Renaissance?
Got a hot topic to discuss? Mod a discussion yourself if you want to,demand suggest someone else do so if you prefer. Feel free to just brainstorm topics too, as I will allocate more time if there's a lot people want to cover.
Got a character that everyone would love if they only knew them? Or someone we already love but would enjoy being reminded about? Got a vaguely fannish game to play?
Please volunteer in comments to this post, or @ or DM me on twitter.
Last year we experimented with "two minute pimps", ie low pressure starter pimps, maybe for first timers who've never presented before, or for little tidbits you want to introduce but don't think you can put together a whole presentation on. Please do think seriously about whether your two minutes is going to morph into ten or fifteen, in which case you should snag a proper slot, but if you've got something that's around five, say, then let me know and I'll measure the slot needed for the hors d'oeuvre platter.
Please also feel free to think outside the box – we've had a couple of quite "different" presentations the last couple of years, in the form of historical/literary primers, art and audio presentations, etc, all of which were wonderful, and warmly received. The official g/t definition of fannish content is "friends and fellow fans will be interested in seeing/hearing this", so if you're not sure please do ask.

Date: 2018-09-17 10:15 pm (UTC)(Also, if anyone's watching Guardian (Cdrama), I would really love a promo/pimp for that. I keep seeing references and I want to know more, but don't really have time to investigate.)
ETA: Discussion topic: how do you fandom-crush? (self-insert or not, virtually stalk actors or not, specific characters/people or pairings, etc.) I'm happy to mod this.
