This year's extravaganza

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Greetings earthlings.

China and I have had preliminary discussions (and two whole meetings! sort of!) about this year. We have at the very least decided upon a date, whereupon you may all begin to plan, or at least envisage possibility.

The weekend we've decided on is the 4th and 5th of October, and as usual starting from the Friday afternoon/night (3rd) for anyone who happens to have blown into town early/live here.

We're exploring options re venues and accommodation at this stage, and will keep you posted.

I'd like to put out a call for papers though. Heh. Sounds like an academic conference. Even so.

Pimps and highlight reels, as always, welcome, but if you ever feel a sudden mad desire to use your editing powers for evil, or to abuse powerpoint, or to hand out questionnaires, let this day be that day!

I, myself, am currently, for your edification, for lols, for Great Justice, because I need practice, etc, editing together the entirety of forty years of Doctor Who canon into fifteen minutes. I consider this a constructive use of school my time. :-D

Take up the challenge! Be all you can be! Go Navy!

yAAAAAY first comment dance (heh)

I am so there with bells on. Not sure if I can do anything constructive in the way of show and tell, but I will put my thinking cap on.. when I find the bloody thing. Now I just have to pursuade the boss for more time off *sigh*

Can we have some SPN watching incase the dman actors go on strike and there is *god fobid* no SPN in September. And you know, just cause I like watching the pretty and contemplating my long trip to !!Special HELL!!

There will no doubt be many watchings of many pretties.

Damn the unions and their justified demands!

I have just put those dates into my diary. HUZZAH!

I would like to put my hand up to pimp out Torchwood. I will even try to make it not all about Ianto. No promises though.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Wootzors!

Done and done. And I could tolerate, oh, I dunno, 83.5% Ianto? Maybe?

Not sure if I'll be able to make it this year (and I'll be without my better half this year since Blade will be overseas), but if I do, I'd like to talk about one of my current fandoms - the Ace Attorney series.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

*sad face*

*echoes arysteia*

::sad face:: The dates will definitely clash with my planned travel, so unless that falls through (may the heavens forfend) you won't see me this year. But have fun, and write lots of reports...

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

*sad face*

I'll meet you in Martinborough (equidistant?) for a mini-recap?

[cross-stitchery.livejournal.com]

we should be able to manage it. if i come down then we can travel from Wellington together, which should save you a few $$.

if the DH puts his foot down over prolonging the absenteeism <g>, then we could meet up after the weekend. i already have the days off anyway.

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Looking good so far :)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

*rubs hands villainously*

[woolly-socks.livejournal.com]

DW in fifteen minutes?! OK, this I have to see. Particularly because I missed your DW pimp last year. *pouts*

I have high hopes for bigger badder better MORE attendance from me this year. \o/

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe *slightly* longer than fifteen. ;-p

\0/

[jamethiel]

I WANT TO COME SO BADLY IT IS LIKE BURNING.

*makes plan to start saving*

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Yayes!

Is it an *evil* plan?

[cross-stitchery.livejournal.com]

i *should* be there. and if i am, then i bags The Sentinel...

[sethra2000.livejournal.com]

We could fly down together maybe... *hopeful look*

[shihadchick.livejournal.com]

I am so there! And I tentatively may be able to get actual time off this time, too. WHOO.

I would offer to pimp, but I think I am basically a year behind the curve on everything and we've already had excellent pimps for what I'm in. :D

[china_shop]

YAYAYAAYAYE!

[china_shop]

I have firm plans to not be dead of exhaustion by then.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I have firm plans to be firmly back in firm fandom by then. ;-p

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

Woez. /o\ Why did I want to go to Canada again? And wanna stage a fangirl raid on Fidel's some time around the 6th of June?

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Sadness.

But yes indeed. You're down then, I deduce intelligently? Let me know.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, I want to come (of course!) but will just have to see what's happening - since I'll be in a new job by then, it's hard to plan ahead at the moment :)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I want you to come! Come! I am the Master and you will obey me.

Ahem. Sorry about that.

Heh. Not the same without you though.

[aworldinside.livejournal.com]

*envisions possibility* I like that phrase.

40 years of canon in 15(ish) minutes? That sounds awesome.

*ponders something she could pimp*

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Isn't it fantastic? To think that once upon a time the whole idea of a slash con in Wgtn seemed unlikely, if not impossible. And now we're up to Mark IV!

I may not *quite* make the fifteen minute edit mark. But I'm the boss. I'll just slow time down. "I'm a Timelord, I have that right." Ahem.

Yes indeed, think of something. Even for existing fandoms, that don't need "pimps" per se, it's always really interesting to see a ship manifesto or whatever too, just throwing that out there. There are several that haven't been done.

[blue-raven.livejournal.com]

Hah, AWESOME. I get a get-together for my birthday! Well, almost, but it's close enough for me!

I will do anything I can to make it down this year, though I don't have anything planned for pimping. Yet. But I'll think about it, for sure. :)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I see I didn't get a notification for this comment... *kicks lj*

But yaye, good. Excellent.

[missiedith.livejournal.com]

I will try my damnedest to be there. Not sure I'm really ready to pimp anything, but if anyone would like me to put together something on real-life cardiff for dr who/torchwood fanfic purposes I can do that.
