Unified Theory of Everything Post 2020

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Friends, 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.

The All Important Volunteering Section

I would like to do a presentation on x and I need 10/20/30 minutes to do it: The Dragon Prince (10 minutes) and 2020: The Year Fanfic Tropes Took Over Mainstream Fiction (30 minutes). I am also prepared to put together a 5-minute 'why you should watch The Old Guard IMMEDIATELY' thing if enough people haven't seen it, but I feel like they have?

My presentation has either huge spoilers or possibly triggers and therefore should run into a lunch break: Fanfic Tropes 2020 (WILL have spoilers for some new-ish works)

I have an idea for an icebreaker game to finally end slash pictionary's fifteen year reign of terror: not this year because too much prep but maybe for next year, Cards Against Humanity Fandom Edition?

I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself: We should discuss my presentation once I've given it because I want to hear other people's examples/thoughts, it's a THESIS and I am prepared to DEFEND it

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: please can we talk about the A/B/O lawsuit

If there's a discussion on the A/B/O lawsuit I vote that we play the same milk splash gif Lindsay Ellis used as a background slide
