Belated, but hopefully also streamlined, it’s time to register for g/t 2019. Let’s get this show on the road.

1) As with last year, please just make a top level comment to this post rather than an individual post to the community. If you kept your livejournal you can comment logged in, if you've got a dreamwidth you can use open id (but include your lj name if there's any chance I won't recognise it), if you have neither, or you prefer not to log in for any reason, then anon commenting is fine, but please include a pseudonymous tag so I can tell who it is.

2) We will again be having pub quiz and pizza party on Saturday night. Obviously, if you have to head off earlier for any reason it’s all good, but otherwise I was pleased with how smoothly last year’s ordering process went, so we’ll be repeating that. I will order and pay in advance, on Friday 4 October. In the morning, before I go to brunch. This means that signups and payment of subs has a hard close by Thursday 3 October.

Please visit the Hell Pizza website and check out their menu. Please also make a note of the price of your order. Don't worry about factoring in delivery, I'll sort that out. Can I please suggest that you try to order off the menu if you can, as things start to go awry if there are too many substitutions on a giant order. If you have allergies/intolerances please all caps or bold those so I can make them absolutely clear when I go in.

3) Everyone who came last year is on the mailing list, but if you’re bringing along anyone new can they please fill out this google form with contact details (confidential). If you don't want to include a cell number you don't have to, but especially if you don't have a twitter account I can ping it might be useful to be able to text in case of short notice issues.

Registration Template 2019

Don’t overthink these questions. Treat it like word association. It's only for a couple of games on the day. And don’t look back. I love seeing everyone’s answers evolve. Delete/complete snacks and victuals lines as applicable.

Coffee or tea?

My Hell order is (please bold or all caps any allergies/intolerances):

It costs this much, which I will add to my subs when that email goes out:

I haven't worked out my Hell order yet but I was super keen to sign up anyway, and I will totally comment to this comment with an update very soon, and you have my permission to heckle when I don't.

I'm going to bring my own dinner and take my chances on the kitchen.

For reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture I won’t be staying for the pizza party.

ETA: Sharp eyed [livejournal.com profile] jocondite noticed that I'd left a reference to a subs post in the rego template. I've edited that out now to refer to the mailing list email which was in fact this year's official invoice and has the bank account details.

It's been forever since a new fandom ate fandom, but I saw plenty of you enjoying plenty of things over the last year. Now is your chance to spread the wisdom, share the wealth, or just plain take advantage of the fact there's no filter on real life to get inside the bunker.

As always, reminiscing about old fandoms is also welcome, whether they've gotten a reboot, you've recently done a rewatch, or you're simply feeling nostalgic for some reason. Got your own version of my Inevitable Smallville Renaissance? (I think [livejournal.com profile] stickmarionette and I might be Inevitably X-Men-ing...)

Got a hot topic to discuss? Mod a discussion yourself if you want to, or just brainstorm questions you'd like to see considered. I'll allocate more time if there's a lot people want to cover, though you all know how the timetable tends to buckle by Sunday afternoon.

Fannish taster platters: Over the last couple of years we've had a few cool "mini" 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 five minutes is going to morph into ten or fifteen, in which case you should snag a proper slot, but if you've got something teeny you want to throw out there without any pressure, then let me know.

Volunteer in comments to this post, or @ or DM me on twitter.

Please also feel free to think outside the box – we've had a few quite different presentations recently, in the form of historical/literary primers, art and audio presentations, monsterfucking polls, 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.

Exactly one month to go, which I was going to panic about, but apparently the record for lateness goes to 2017 where the big post flurry took place only a fortnight out. Well done, 2017 me!

1) Restating for the record, as announced on twitter and to the mailing list earlier in the year, this year's get/together will, of course, be the weekend of October 5 and 6, with Friday 4 and Monday 7 as always for those who can make it/stick around.

2) Another year, another new fannish platform that didn't really take off. No disrespect to pillowfort, but most of us didn't do more than name squat there. On the other hand, I quite like the mailing list, it's been easy for me to use, so once again I'll be sending out wakeup emails and critical reminders, while continuing to use this livejournal as an information repository/hub. The best way to get up to the minute updates is still, of course, the twitter account. Even if you don't use twitter actively, it's worth checking out the g/t feed for up the minute news.

3) Taking signups as top level comments to the registration post seemed to work last year, so we'll stick with that. As always, open ID or (pseudonymously) signed anonymous comments are fine.

4) Everyone seemed to enjoy late night Saturday, vidshows, pub quiz, and pizza, so unless I get feedback to the contrary in short order, assume we're sticking with that. The pizza delivery went almost perfectly last year, so orders will again be finalised and paid for together with your registration and subs.

5) Subs will almost certainly be the same as last year, ie $33. I'm just waiting on the official invoice.

Expect a bunch of informational posts over the next few days, but if you're an old hand you can also expect not much to have changed. :-)
