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.

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.

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.

Welcome, one and all. It's time to register for g/t 2018. Hopefully a speedy and streamlined process, though with one important addition this year.

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) It's pizza party time! Well, not really, but in the interests of avoiding hell on earth over the phone Saturday night (you see what I did there) I am going to order and pay in advance, on Friday 5 October. In the morning, before I go to brunch. That means there's going to be a hard cut off for registrations and subs this year! No retroactive signups. Not that I'm looking at any perpetual latecomers in particular. You can edit your order between now and then, obviously, but when I call a hard close I'm gonna mean it. :D

Please go directly to hell, I mean visit the Hell Pizza website and check out the 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 those absolutely clear when I go in.

3) If you didn't do it last year, can you 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.

We're going to try something slightly different here from past years. Partly because we're in a liminal space where I couldn't quite cut the lj cord fast enough but it's clearly time to say goodbye, and partly because many of us have been coming for a really long time and it's starting to feel silly to gather much of the same information over and over, fun though it is sometimes to look back in nostalgia and/or bewilderment.

Therefore:

1) Please register in a comment to this post rather than as an individual post to the community. If you still have a live lj then obviously you can use that as usual, if you have a dw feel free to use open id, if you are momentarily amnesiac of all your passwords (or undercover fleeing Russians) then go ahead and comment anon, just make sure to stick one of your recognisable pseuds in your comment so we know who you are.

Possibly the latest that this has ever been issued, but this is second nature to old timers so you should be able to rattle it off in no time. We have NO FEWER THAN FIVE NEW MEMBERS joining us this year though, so a very warm welcome to them, and I look forward to getting an early taste of their interests.

Hi there, new friends! Don't be intimidated by this template, and if there's anything you don't have an answer to, then just leave it out. I'm mostly just looking for clues so I can try to make sure some stuff you're interested in is included, and maybe introduce you to the right people to get started chatting.

This year's rego only has one part; I'll be using last year's part two to put together the Epic History of Get/Together. If you have anything you'd like to add to that, though, please do. (I may be contacting some old hands by email to confirm some urban legends slightly fuzzy memories.) If you've got any photos or other artifacts from years past (especially if you did a presentation in years one to three) please send them my way.

This year’s rego is in two parts: the first is similar to years past, the second is aimed more at the whole anniversary extravaganza thing. If some of the answers down there are lost to time feel free to leave them out, but that probably means you’ll be at the mercy of my reminiscing when I perform the epic History of Get Together in dactylic hexameter, so try to take a guess. Maybe we can crowd source the truth, *g*. It always gives me joy to read these things, and it’s been doubly edifying this year re-reading old ones. We were all so young and carefree once… Hey, remember that time we had live readings of explicit fic in my dining room? Remember when people got drunk and broke my chairs? Remember the capoeira drummers?

ETA: Now that I’ve filled mine out I’ve discovered that I was pretty verbose with some answers, and while I contemplated editing I’ve decided to leave it that way. You certainly don’t have to do the same if you don’t want to, but if you’ve got something to say and half an hour to kill, then please do. This kind of long form rambling is something we’ve mostly lost and something I miss, much as twitter is now the medium of my heart.

Yikes! We're a lot closer to D-Day than I actually realised.

Assume subs are much the same as last year, ie $30 (I'll confirm once I get an indication of numbers and go and make a deposit). Assume also that the three restaurants are the same as always, ie Oaks, Indian, Thai. In the meantime, can we get those registrations rolling in please.

The country is obsessed with All Blacks injuries, I am trying to write infinite Big Bangs whilst avoiding new fandoms -- [livejournal.com profile] china_shop jinxed me by betting I couldn't make it to November, and she was right D: D: D: -- and it's just about six weeks to lift-off, so you know what that means… It's time for registrations. I've edited and updated the old form a bit, so if you're coming please fill it out. As always, feel free to flock your post to the comm if you prefer.

Costs

Subs for 2011 are thirty dollars. This covers hireage of the hall, hot and cold drinks, snacks, the dread but necessary toilet paper and tissues, and any incidentals. I'll make a post in about three weeks (ie three weeks from d-day) with details for how to pay.

Group Dinners

We're basically looking at the same three options as always. Friday Night Fangirls at the Oaks followed by cake at Olive as is the custom of the land, then Indian and Thai in Kilbirnie Saturday and Sunday. Apologies for the lack of variety, but the convoy into town would be more difficult that it was worth. The only question, then, is which way round. My feeling is that it works better Indian Saturday then Thai Sunday as many more people attend the Saturday dinner, and the staff there are a) willing to let ravening hordes order off the menu rather than impose a set menu, and b) seemingly more amused by our shenanigans. If you feel you would strongly prefer the other way, please indicate it and democracy will speak. Both restaurants have a decent vegetarian selection. FNF is a bit more casual, though an indication of numbers would be good; Saturday and Sunday will require a proper booking, though you will have a chance after this to change/confirm.

I've no doubt forgotten something, but that's all I can think of for now.

Oh! If you've had a sudden brainwave and would like to make a presentation of some sort, or have an idea for discussion, please comment on the Calls for Papers post.

Get/Together 2010 is exactly a month away from yesterday. That's Friday 1 - Sunday 3 October. I had a brief panic about how late I am with posting registration forms, but then discovered that's exactly when they went up last year too. Good to be consistent.

I can't confirm costs 100% for sure right now, but they will be a little (not a lot) higher than last year, which is the first price rise in six years, so I say go us! The more people who sign up, the littler that little will be. Make sense? To that end, I'd really appreciate people committing as quickly as possible, and not leaving their registrations to the last minute as generally happens. Can you also please mention it to any friends/flatmates/flisters etc who might be interested, and give them a gentle prod with the pokey stick too.

I'm meeting China any minute to thrash out a few things, so there'll likely be a flurry of postings shortly. Watch this space.

Hi all!

You may have wondered just where the hell I've been and what the hell's been going on. If so, check out the TL;DR.

Anyway, I'll be making up for that with a flurry of posting over the next couple of days. First up is Registration Forms, so I can firm up numbers. So without any further ado. Please cut and paste this into a comm post of your own (remember to post to the comm, not your own lj, *vbg*). Feel free to flock as preferred.

Old hands, you've seen it all before. Newbies, this isn't a test. It's just to make sure we include a little something for everyone, and also for a wee GTKY among ourselves. For the primary/secondary biz try to be a *little* discriminating, or at least put your millions in order. :-D

Wow. This is late. Really late. Later than ever before. I solace myself with the fact you've all been before, and in fact, at this point, I feel I've known most of you forever. We only have two n00bs first timers, and hey, we've been to about a million Armageddons together [livejournal.com profile] angel_a, or eaten cake, chatted loudly, and embarrassed the mundanes innocent fellow patrons several times [livejournal.com profile] aworldinside, so I call that a win.

Anyway. Work to do.

Please fill out a Registration Form. As you all know, I grade these very harshly using my finely honed NCEA skills. Technically that means text language is allowed in Maths and Physics... Hmmmm... What next? Macros? Wai halo thar evol ex-bf! But not in Classics! Except... Um... I let the boys include Superman cartoons... And the odd thinly veiled gay sex joke... Yeah. Carry on.

You know the drill. Please cut and paste this into a comm post of your own (remember to post to the comm, not your own lj, *vbg*). Feel free to flock as preferred.

Oh, and remember. No cheating. Consider this a Rorschach test for any changes since last year, and complete it anew. *Then* you can look back if you want. You may or may not have noticed (and probably haven't if you use style-mine) but I have redesigned the comm. Most importantly I switched from S1 to S2, which means we now have tags. It's still a slight WIP, but I've painstakingly (Worship Me!) gone back and tagged everything so you should be able to find anything you like pretty easily now. Myself, I plan on doing something funny at g/t this year with all the data I've collected over the years. Mwahahahaha!

Oh. ETA: Try to be discriminating. Don't have ten primary fandoms, it's not allowed. [/school marm] Make a hard call, and put the rest in "other".

ETA2: Mofos! What is this, the Third Reich? I tried to post this from work today and got kicked off the internet. For a DDR rating of fifteen. Yes, fifteen. (I've no idea what DDR stands for either, but evidently it separates the evil doers from those who actually use the internet to do serious work.) Ordinarily it takes at least two hundred to get disabled, so it would appear there's a crackdown on... So, without further ado, later than ever...

Hello, people! Look at the date! OMG, where the hell did the first half of September go?!

Aaaaaanyway, any second now it's going to be time for fun, frolicking, and flailing fannishly with friendly fellow fen in the form of Get/Together 2007. Woo and hoo!!! So let's get started with the usual introduction/registration palaver and take it from there. I'll follow up with an info post in the next couple of days so we all know what's what. Cool? Any questions, please feel free to ask!

To quote from [livejournal.com profile] arysteia's post last year:
Please fill out the Registration Form below. Those of you who came last year have done it before, but please do it again, and ideally without looking back first. I'd really like to survey how fannish habits/memories/attitudes have changed in a year. Newbies don't stress, it's *not* an exam. There are no right answers. It's just cool to know a bit about each other before we all descend. Some of these things I would just like to know (because you are my luckless prisoners, bwa ha ha ha). Some will help in organising activities. Some are just funny. Some (hopefully) will start to make you excited. Because hey. [Two] weeks to go!

Right then! [livejournal.com profile] china_shop's been on me to get on this. Investigation reveals I only did it a month out last year, so we're ahead of the curve, but let's get some momentum up anyway.

First things first:

Please fill out the Registration Form. Those of you who came last year have done it before, but please do it again, and ideally without looking back first. I'd really like to survey how fannish habits/memories/attitudes have changed in a year. Newbies don't stress, it's *not* an exam. There are no right answers. It's just cool to know a bit about each other before we all descend. Some of these things I would just like to know (because you are my luckless prisoners, bwa ha ha ha). Some will help in organising activities. Some are just funny. Some (hopefully) will start to make you excited. Because hey. Six weeks to go! And also, y'know, that whole thing whereby you're sleeping at my house and you might like to be fed and watered while you're here.

Cut-tags are probably a good idea (though I'm wickedly not cutting this), and feel free to flock to the community if you'd prefer.

Secondly, technology:

We had a couple of glitches last year, but everything is up and running perfectly again now. There are *scratches head* three VCRs, five DVDs, and a data projector here. If you've got it, I'm pretty sure we can play it. So I guess this is a general call for material - bring your stuff! Old scratchy videos for nostalgia, dvds, fan vids in any format, etc. Don't be like me when I went to [livejournal.com profile] sinpoz the first time and be all shy and then realise everyone's cool and really *wish* you'd brought things!

There are three computers, all with internet access. The house is looped for wireless if you have a wireless connector on your laptop. Do bring the appropriate cords for your laptop if you want to plug it into anything.

Oh!!! I have the technology to build a man a robotic body to copy from VHS to DVD, as well as standard dvd burning capability. So bring VHS tapes and DVD-Rs as well as CD-Rs if that seems like the sort of thing you'd be interested in...

Thirdly, Fandom Intros:

I absolutely loved these last year, but I'm thinking we probably don't need to repeat the full fifteen minute versions this year given most people will have seen them. If you'd like to do a five minute recap to bring us up to speed on developments in your fandom, that'd be great. If you have a new fandom to pimp, however, we definitely want to hear about it.

On to the templates!!! )
[identity profile] arysteia.livejournal.com
Well! It's only a month till get__together, so it's about time I get off my ass and post some of the things I've been promising for ages. I've been holding back because I wanted to say something *witty*. But guess what? It's not happening. Too busy, too tired.

So let's take a cue from Nike, and Just Do It..

First things first:

It's time for formal registration. Not because this is an exam or anything, but because... it's fun. And then it feels real. And then I'll go tidy up the home theatre at Stately Luthor Manor and vacuum the guest rooms, because I know you're all coming. Plus start shopping and menu planning...

So please fill out the Registration Form. Remember, it's *not* an exam. There are no right answers. Some of these things I would just like to know (because you are my luckless prisoners, bwa ha ha ha). Some will help in organising activities. Some are just funny. Some (hopefully) will start to make you excited. Because hey. One month to go!

Secondly, the Fandom Intro template:

Again, this is not a zero sum game. Wanna include something not on the list? Please do. One of these suggestions doesn't apply? Leave it out. Wanna do it all in reverse order standing on your head? Feel free. These are just things I'd really like to know about your fandom, and things I think will be useful for the rest of us to get an inkling about before you start waxing lyrical during forums/discussions. And if we pick up your donated fics and get stuck in. And if we need to buy a clue during Pictionary. And...

Thirdly, technology:

There are *scratches head* three VCRs, three DVDs, and a data projector here. If you've got it, I'm pretty sure we can play it. Don't not bring it and be sorry. There are three computers, all with internet access. The house is looped for wireless if you have a wireless connector on your laptop. Do bring the appropriate cords for your laptop if you want to plug it into anything. I'm using PowerPoint (or, y'know, some such) for my Fandom Intro, because I thought it'd be cool. And also because I'm supposed to master it for work, and Clex Appeal is more fun to practise on than Roman Architecture.

Oh!!! I have the technology to build a man a robotic body to copy from VHS to DVD. So bring blank DVDs as well as blank CDRs if that seems like the sort of thing you'd be interested in...

And finally, I think we're done. For now. Inevitably as soon as I post I will think of something else. Never mind. We have time. Rome wasn't built in a day. [/Bo Jo Kent platitude]

The Fandom Intro Template:

Please let me reiterate one more time. These are things I am interested in hearing. This is not a straight jacket. Mix, match, shake and bake. And obviously don't post anything now, just start working on your pitch. Assuming you haven't already done it. :-D


Fandom (explain the scenario/universe if it's not immediately obvious)

OTP (show us pics, you know you want to)

Other characters as necessary (show us a picture and tell us who they are?)

Evidence of the HoYay (clips, screen caps, quotes, magazine articles, complicated analogies and literary allusions?)

Pathetic attempts by TPTB at HoNay

Fandom specific vocabulary/abbreviations/terminology

The typical fandom cliche

The so fanon it's canon rule

The all time gayest episode ever, the one Mormons would recognise

The mysterious question the answer to which divides the fandom

The massive huge flame war that broke out that one time

The stories/authors you must read before you die

Websites/LJ comms to check out once I've converted you to the true faith

Etc etc etc. Go nuts. One last thought: Please compile a dvd or video of your clips rather than fast forwarding and rewinding madly on the day.
