get_togetherFriends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your reckons! I come to use livejournal as an archive repository, not to overwhelm it and crash the robust, Russia dwelling, servers.
THIS WILL BE THE ONLY SIGN UP/REGISTRATION/VOLUNTEER/RESTAURANT BOOKING/PIZZA ORDER POST OF 2020. DO EVERYTHING HERE.
There will be a hard cut off of Thursday October 1 to sign up, order pizza, confirm attendance at dinner, pay your subs etc. This is not a drill, if you are habitually late signing up or rsvping for things, do not do that this year. I am not willing to make extra difficulties for essential workers in this year of our trials and tribulations 2020.
There will be an update email going out shortly, and likely another later in the week, and as always up to the minute updates will go out on twitter. There will also be at least one more post here with final confirmation of times, venues, and event timetables.
Please fill out the following form as a top level comment to this post. (You can, of course, converse as you wish in replies to each other.) If you can't log in, just put your public pseud in the subject line. Don't worry about overthinking stuff, it's just rorshach blots and pub quiz fodder. Obviously if your presentation is still evolving you can give a general indication here and add detail later.
Subs are $33, same as always. Bank account details are in the email.

Current favourite fandom: Ugh, none, does compulsively reading politics twitter in the 2020 hellscape count?
Current OTP (or OT3 etc): I still love Steve/Tony, Steve/Bucky, Dom/Brian, even if I'm not currently reading or writing anything.
One true undying, always returning, forever fandom and/or OTP: Smallville, Superman generally (Clark/Lex, Clark/Bruce, Clark/Lois)
Fandoms cruelly cast by the wayside: I have to hurry up and catch up on Supernatural so I can watch the grand finale. Black Sails is still the best tv show no one watched, but there's no new (decent) fic. The Man from UNCLE should have gotten a sequel, goddamnit.
The best fic of all time is: Is it still Identical (Smallville)? Or the Iron Man one where Tony Stark deletes his memory of Steve Rogers dying? Or maybe it's still Irreconcilable Differences. No, maybe it's Crimean Shore (MUNCLE).
The best vid of all time is: Any or all of Handlebars (Doctor Who), Hey Ho (MCU), Bad Romance (Smallville)
Three characters that represent you in some way (no explanations, let us figure it out): Magneto, Dom Toretto, Fox Mulder

Hummus or sour cream dips? Hummus
Coke or juice? Coke

I would like to do a presentation on IT (2017/2019) and I need 20 minutes to do it - probably only 10 mins of prepared stuff tbh but I know how we run.
My presentation has either huge spoilers or possibly triggers and therefore should run into a lunch break: No, because whilst there is a sewer clown, and I will show one (1) image of said sewer clown, WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SEWER CLOWN.
I am also very happy to run one of the vidshows again as is, at this point, traditional. I will try, as usual, to avoid anything gory.
I have an idea for an icebreaker game to finally end slash pictionary's fifteen year reign of terror: I do not.
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself: I do not.
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like it to get into the main panel section(s), run by Tui: I do not.

I discovered fandom by: my fandom journey began in 1995 with the BBC Pride & Prejudice, or more specifically when I got to high school in 1998 and had regular access to the internet. Oh school library computers, how I lived on you.

I do the bulk of my fannish activity at x platform(s) and my pseud(s) there is/are: The AO3, where I am also dazyndara

My most hated tropes are: kid fic unless it's cracky, a/b/o

Current favourite fandom: Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Football RPF, for my sins. Starting to fall into The Untamed/CQL where I will no doubt end up obsessed with a rare pairing. Still running that LMM fan blog.
Current OTP (or OT3 etc): I don't realy do OTPs so much as One True Characters which is to say Claude von Riegan is taking up a lot of space in my brain.
One true undying, always returning, forever fandom and/or OTP: DCU, Star Wars EU, Phoenix Wright, Charles/Erik, Steve/Tony, Hannibal/Sharp Rocks, Baby Dream Team

The best vid of all time is: Handlebars. I also really really love The Greatest by bironic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIHZd0-sj_Q) and Rising Ape (https://archiveofourown.org/works/19159276) which is a beautiful Tony Stark vid.

Current favourite fandom: Oh god. I'm still doing Sentinel fandom, which is basically fifteen people these days. I love The Expanse, and must get around to reading some actual fic. I'm listening to The Magnus Archives. However I don't know much about the fandom itself because I'm trying to avoid spoilers and I also get the impression that it's a bit wild and woolly and wanky.
Current OTP (or OT3 etc): Jim/Blair, Starsky/Hutch and Garak/Bashir are the ones of my nostalgic heart. Maiden Rose is hanging on but the creator is trying my patience. I read a bit of Aziraphale/Crowley, and will read David Copperfield/Uriah Heep if X-Los writes it, otherwise, yeah nah. I've been reading some Avon/Blake slash, but I couldn't say I'm au fait with the fandom per se.
One true undying, always returning, forever fandom and/or OTP: Guess. Go on, I dare you. (For new attendees, it's Jim/Blair of The Sentinel.)
Fandoms cruelly cast by the wayside: The Professionals, notably, although I hang around the outskirts. I still love Hannibal the show but I'm not reading much fic. To be honest, fandom in general is a bit cast by the wayside barring nostalgic old favourites. 2020 is that sort of year.
The best fic of all time is: Nope, can't.
The best vid of all time is: Aaaaand it's Bironic's Starships by popular acclaim.
Three characters that represent you in some way (no explanations, let us figure it out): Blair Sandburg,Aziraphale, Praxedeke Meng.

Current favourite fandom: 2020 has been a year of toe-dipping. During Level 4 I went for a brief paddle through Phantom of the Opera fics (thank you, ALW streamed youtube shows). Then it was a return to Dresden Files Harry/Marcone. Most recently, I’ve started listening to the Rivers of London audiobooks and am now chewing my way through some truly excellent Peter/Nightingale fics.
I secretly want to get into Reylo fandom, but the sheer scale of it is leaving me too daunted to begin.

Current OTP (or OT3 etc): Felix/Sylvain but I can be convinced on quite a few other pairings, Kaz/Inej
One true undying, always returning, forever fandom and/or OTP: My Remus/Sirius feels probably aren't going anywhere. See also: Tony/Steve, Charles/Erik and the Critical Role Campaign 1 kids will always mean a lot to me.
Fandoms cruelly cast by the wayside: I don't really cast that many aside for good, a good fic or a certain mood can always send me running back, maybe even to Hawaii Five-0 ... idk my brain has done weirder things.
The best fic of all time is: I've previously said A Curious Carriage of Crystal and Cold (Charles/Erik, Space opera AU) and it's still great but I will come back and edit this if I come up with another answer.
The best vid of all time is: Expo (Iron Man), the Mad Max vid to Na na na na na (probs more nas) and that damn Closing Time finales vid that hits in the feels. (And there are others too but this is what struck me as I rewatched some from my collection)

I discovered fandom by: I was like 11, so like 17 years ago. I don't really remember. I think I googled Lord of the Rings and found yahoo groups, which lead to fanfiction.net, which lead to livejournal.
I discovered g/t by: Someone I follow on tumblr is an organiser of Escapade, They mentioned that slash cons were dying out and posted the fanlore list of ongoing slash cons, I checked it out with the intention of planning a trip to the US to go to one AND SAW THERE WAS A NEW ZEALAND ONE. I cried when I realised I could have been going all this time.
I am a writer/reader/artist/podficcer/reccer/archivist/lurker etc: Mostly a lurker. Have written a couple of fics, with plans to write more. Also have plans for making some rec lists but we shall see. I'm good at ideas actually following through, not so much
I do the bulk of my fannish activity at x platform(s) and my pseud(s) there is/are: I'm mostly on discord now. In the Stuckony and Stony servers. I'm jimmiejive#6479 there. I am also on tumblr occasionally and AO3 obviously as jimmiejive. I'm basically jimmiejive everywhere honestly.

Date: 2020-09-25 07:33 pm (UTC)No, you've done it right. I know this comm is probably hard to figure out now for newcomers -- with (almost) everyone having moved off livejournal we don't post like we used to. There would have been twenty or thirty posts in a year, back in the day, compared to maybe three now. But I got your mailing list sign up so that's good. Basically, as long as you know where and when to show up, you're golden. I will be posting/emailing to confirm all those details soon, but if you've been backreading it's very similar to last year.
If you do have any questions you can email me direct, or just continue this conversation, otherwise we'll see you very soon.
