Hey, you guys! Thanks so much to everyone for helping make the weekend such a great success. [livejournal.com profile] arysteia and I are both delighted with how it went down. \o/

Just a quick survey in case any of you are harbouring genius ideas we can take advantage of for next time, or had issues we weren't aware of. Please take a couple of minutes to fill it out. We want to know what you think!

At this year's get/together:

1. What worked best?
2. What would you change?
3. Any other thoughts/feedback.

Comments are screened, and you can comment anonymously if you choose. :-)

The main venue itself:

Park Bowling Club Kilbirnie
598-600 Evans Bay Parade

The Evans Bay Parade address is its official one, and those driving (depending where you're coming from) may prefer to come down that way. For myself I've always thought it was on Kilbirnie Crescent, and certainly that's where the bus will drop public transport takers. I can't get a number, obviously, but it's between the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre (no 63) and the Ruth Gottlieb Library (no 101).

There's a fair amount of parking there at the park for drivers.

Walk in through the main front doors, but then instead of walking through into the bar, which will presumably be full of old folks in their bowling gear, hang left and go upstairs. Ideally there will be some sort of sign, *g*.

Assuming the absence of epic fail, this is how to get to the venue. )

Restaurants:

Elements Cafe is at 144 Onepu Rd, Kilbirnie/Lyall Bay. )

Friday Night Fangirls know where to go, all others: )

Saturday: Tandoori Heritage in Coutts Street, Kilbirnie

Sunday: Siam Thai on Kilbirnie Crescent

Right, we're a week out, and this is the general housekeeping post. (Apologies for the spam today.)

1) Payments: A friendly reminder to get your subs in asap please. They technically close today, people, and I'd like to beat the GST rise, please. It's in all our coke guzzling, chip scoffing interests, *g*. Everyone who commented with a payment except one has come through, I've alerted that one individually. The one who didn't comment, but paid, I know who you are! Ditto the one who paid cash, and my houseguest. Many thanks to those who are ahead of the curve, much appreciated, and a poke with the pokey stick to the laggards. Go here for details if you still need the details.

2) Accommodation: Has everyone who isn't from Wellington sorted out where they're staying/who they're sharing a room with? Can a team leader from each group please let me know your details (lest we lose you to daylight saving/bus strikes/other and have to find you).

3) Arrivals: Can everyone let me know when their flights/trains/buses get into town. We may be able to organise car-pools, shared taxis etc, plus we don't want to miss you at lunch/dinner/dessert etc.

4) Any Other Business: If you have any last questions, chuck 'em in here.
[identity profile] arysteia.livejournal.com
This is the current list. Can everyone please check it's still correct, and also verify the run-time of their presentation (which should be shorter for a visual/reel, longer for a led discussion).

Righty-ho. This is going up somewhat later than I intended, but no stress. ;-p

These are the suggestions that came in for categories for the Inaugural Vid Oscars. It's not a final list, but I'm going to use it as a guide. Some may wind up being combined/separated out, depending on popularity.

In Universe

1) "Best Encapsulation of an Entire Fandom in One Vid" (I suspect this is the supreme award, a la Best Movie)

2) Best Crack/Best "our-characters-are-dorky-and-we-love-them" (pairing, concept, whatever)

3) Most unlikely (and yet successful) pairing of song and fandom/Most successful vidding of the unviddable

4) Best character study

5) I Can't Believe it's not Porn (best smut/innuendo/overtuendo)

6) Best Vid of a Fic (specifically matched)

7) Teamwork is Best! (best homage to a team)

Meta/Out of Universe/Technical

8) Best vid about fandom/fannishness/being a fan

9) Best use of effects (layering/colours/manips, etc)

10) Best Meta Commentary

11) Best Social Justice

12) Best use of imagery/symbolism

13) Best multi-fandom vid

14) Best AU/Best reinterpretation of canon

Wild Card/Write In

15) Best Vid that fits none of these categories but is still Best

So. If you could please nominate the actual vids now, that'd be fab. Comments to this post are screened, so we can enjoy the thrill of watching lame celebrities open envelopes. Okay, no. Still. Please provide the name of the vidder, ideally, and a download link where I can grab it from. You're awesome!
[identity profile] arysteia.livejournal.com
I have a vision for something different for the vid show this year, along the lines of a "Fandom's Greatest Hits/Oscars" show. To that end what I'm looking for just now is ideas (I already have some but am seeking more) for *categories* (not vids just yet, though start pondering, I'll ask for those soon). Whatever takes your fancy at this stage, but I'm thinking along the lines of big ideas like "Best Encapsulation of an Entire Fandom in One Vid" as well as little ones like "Best Crack". Whatever seems a good idea at this point, hit me!
[identity profile] arysteia.livejournal.com
Greetings all.

We're in the final countdown now, so this is the place to make explicit and official your intentions vis a vis contributions at the con. If you have a witty title and tag line for the programme (LOL!) stick it in your comment here. If you're still a WIP, can you just give me an indication of what you *think* you'd like to do, so I can shove it on a theoretical timetable, and we can liaise about how long you'll need, what resources are required etc.

This includes: meta discussions you plan to lead/moderate; show pimps/intros; ship manifestos; the ol' slash pictionary; new games; ideas for discussion you *don't* want to lead/moderate but would like added to a general panel, etc. Any ideas you have, throw them on this pile please.

We will be at the same location as last year, Park Bowling Club in Kilbirnie. It's spacious, central, and the neighbours are cheerful and tolerant. We've got a list of a few niggles from last year (heating, electrical sockets, boot heels, etc) so I'll be making a housekeeping post about that sort of thing later on.

We'll likely eat at the same (or similar) restaurants too -- there are others further afield, but I'm assuming those without cars would prefer not to have to make multiple journeys back and forth.

With regard to accommodation, I know there were a couple of requests from last year to look into a group booking somewhere, and China and I did investigate the Brentwood, which would have been my first choice, but unfortunately they're all booked up for a conference. More surprisingly, so is the old faithful 747. Failing either of those, there's always X-Base and Nomads, both of which have housed g/ters reasonably happily in the past, and both of which are on the direct bus route, both from the airport and to/from the venue. Please feel free to put together a party in the comments to this post as needed.

Preferred first name: Tui

Reader/Writer/Vidder/All of the Above: Reader, sometime writer (well... I do Yuletide. And I totally did two kink meme fills a month ago. And I have a lot of WIPs?) Also I'm getting to be a big Vid Fan.

My current primary fandom: Young Wizards, always and forever. But also Supernatural (again) (sigh) (ironic b/c I'm pretty sure last g_t I explained to many many people how I'd definitely forever broken up with it)

My current secondary fandom(s): Due South, Doctor Who, SPNRPS, erm ... IDK, a tonne of other stuff. I'll watch vids in any fandom. Also, you know how there are people who are like, vidding is my fandom? But what they really mean is they are snobby and like really good vids in any fandom, but because they'll watch any fandom they have high standards? So yeah, lately femslash is my fandom. In that sense. Also I've been reading some Harry Potter. and White Collar although NGL, mostly I've been reading China's.

Fandom(s) I’ve broken up with: SGA, I guess. I haven't read any SGA for ages. Firefly. Battlestar Galactica.

Fandom(s) I just can’t quit: Oh Supernatural.

OTP forever: Choosing to define this as OTPs that make me cry if they're broken: Tom/Carl, Parker/Eliot/Hardison, Merlin/Arthur (honourable exception for Merlin/Arthur/Gwen/Morgana with a side of Lancelot), McKay/Sheppard, Remus/Sirius (OTP OF DEAD), Ron/Hermione, Clark/Lex, John/Aeryn, Rory/Paris, Fraser/Kowalski (I TRY but I just can't get into F/V)

OTP sometimes: Nita/Kit, Tom/Carl, Kit/Ronan, McShep, Sam/Dean, Dean/Castiel, Dean/Jo, Carter/O'Neill, Rory/Paris, J2, Tim/Steph, Tim/Kon, Steph/Cass, Tim/Bart, Bart/Kon, Tim/Dick, imma stop listing DCU pairings before this gets out of hand, Bruno/Boots, Kara/Lee, Angel/Cordelia, Anya/Money, Buffy/Angel (SHUT UP), Willow/Tara, Gunn/Fred, Parker/Hardison, Buffy/Faith, Xander/Anya um um, I read a lot of fanfiction, y'all.

OTP never, baby, OT3/OTTeam/OT?: Team Tardis in most variations. Nita/Kit/Ronan, Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio, Bart/Tim/Kon, Hardison/Parker/Eliot, Fred/Gunn/Wes, Harry/Ron/Hermione, Neal/Peter/Elizabeth, lots of others, I'm a big fan of the OT3.

My comment on slash is: I have to have a comment on it? Yikes. Um, it's not the shining force for good that some people think it is? Did you know subtext is an anagram of buttsex?

I like slash because: It's shiny. Sometimes it has less icky gender dynamics. (Sometimes it has *more* icky gender dynamics, that one's not a plus.) Uhhh. I like exploring same-sex chemistry in a way TV etc won't? Wow, I was way smarter last year, this is what I said then: "It's diabolical and nutritious! Sometimes I like slash because it develops a relationship between two characters that I feel have great chemistry (Rory/Paris.) Sometimes I like it because it's the best way to read a show (Clark/Lex, McKay/Sheppard) - i.e. it's more revealing. Sometimes I like it because two characters are really in love, or have a relationship that would be flirtatious or romantic if they were opposite sexes, but heterosexism means that relationship won't be explored fully on-screen (Fraser/Kowalski, Tom/Carl). I always enjoy the element of subversiveness to slash and the opportunity to read about queer characters."

I discovered slash by: This one Remus/Sirius fic, back in the day.

My bullet proof kink: d/s, I guess? Dirty talk.

My major league squick: Extreme underage, necrophilia, monging (fuck you very much, SPN), etc. scat, obvs. Erm, I feel like spelling these ones out actually makes me look bad. IT'S A VERY KINKY FANDOM, OK. Canonically gay people having het sex. Increasingly, the only-gay-for-you trope, although that's such a staple in buddy-slash that I go back and forth. Non-con that isn't identified as non-con. Lifestyle BDSM. Bloodplay.

My guilty pleasure: Kidfic allll the way.

I first found out about (my first) g/t from/by: A bunch of people on the flist have been going for awhile and then I met [livejournal.com profile] china_shop and she said come, so I did.

Coke/Coke Zero/Sprite/Juice: Water.

Tea/Coffee: I'm fussy so I'll bring my own (apple tea, probs, if anyone wants to go splits on a tin?)

Indian/Thai/Italian: I'm easy. also, I like all of those foods.

I would like 15 Minutes of Fame: SORT OF MAYBE YES?

I will use it to: Showcase the joy of multifandom vids! Or, alternatively, the woe of meta vids. I'm not sure?

YAY I'M EXCITED. Trying to make up for my (post-g/t) registration by being FIRST this year. Darnit. Second?
