Phew. Well, now I've played catch-up in Real Life after the con, and spent a week sucked into the singularity known as Tumblr, as I figured out the new interface and new culture (you can find my account here; a few NSFW images but mostly SFW). Time to get more back on track, though -- I've got a lot of writing I want to do, and a lot of LJ/DW-ing. :)

I'm being a bit of a slouch and spamming this exact post around, word-for-word, on all my LJ and Dreamwidth accounts; it seems appropriate, since this is a rare case where my dameruth and argyle4eva selves really intersected.

( More under the cut. )

Remember, the Sherlock Seattle convention is pre-registration only (there will be no "at the door" memberships sold) and pre-reg ends on the 25th -- so don't delay!

Also, remember the LJ discussion group, sherlockseattle:

Introduce yourself on the intro post, coordinate travel and hotel plans with other fans on the travel post, and/or get in touch with other cosplayers on the cosplay post!

Convention info also available on Tumblr and Facebook. :)

There's now an LJ discussion group for the Sherlock Seattle con!



(Click the pic to go to the con's off-LJ website.)

Join, introduce yourself on the intro post, and find out about the other fans attending (not that you have to attend to take part in the squee, of course!). :)

There are also convention pages on Tumblr and Facebook -- so if you use those social networks, check 'em out!

. . . Or at least having a great time watching them run!

For those watching the US presidential candidates' debates, a couple drinking games -- though with either one I suggest using beverages of *very low* alcohol content if you want to be conscious by the end. (Sadly, I have no attribution for the first graphic, but I'll add one if I find it.)

Hey, all! I was trying to keep up with my plans to regularly crosspost everything to (well, from, more accurately) Dreamwidth, but the most recent attempt seemed to fall flat, so, thinking it didn't "take" I hit the "crosspost" deal again . . . and still nothing. Looks like Dreamwidth crossposts are moving very slowly today. So, at some point, a double post may show up here when things catch up.

Sorry about that. I'll delete the double, if there is one, as soon as I log back on and see it.

W00t! The website for this has gone live, so I can start promoting (click pic to access the site):



Not only does this promise to be a lot of fun, but I have the honor of being an actual panelist, which I'm really excited about.

It's also the first time my two different identities will be publicly connected; in my other fandom life (mostly of a Doctor Who nature), I'm dameruth. Once upon a time, there was a reason to keep the fandoms separated (due to some Real Life friends who were reading this journal, but really aren't anymore -- though all my fannish activity over there is f-locked for similar reasons), but now seems like an apropos time to bring the usernames together. I plan to keep separate journals for the foreseeable future, however -- partly for name familiarity in different locations, and also because I'm a lazy broad and the thought of consolidating archives gives me the heebies right now. I have enough catching up to do as it is! ;)

(As proof of my laziness, I'm c'n'p-ing a lot of the text for this announcement from the one I put up on the dameruth account; shameless, I am.)

If you're in the Seattle area, it's be great to see you here; if you think anyone on your f-lists would be interested, please repost! The goal is to spread the word as widely as possible.

Even if you can't attend personally, a donation in support of the con will net you nifty thank-yous, including special-edition fanart postcards by Reapersun (all 3 postcard designs featured on the Memberships page of the convention site), and/or a signed convention poster by Unicornempire. Excellent incentives, IMHO. ;)

W00t! Again! Lookin' forward to this.

Yes, it's true -- while I've been off-LJ, I've gone over to the pony side of the Force, as it were. Since I don't participate in the fandom, I wouldn't say I'm a full-blown Brony by any means, but I enjoy the show and can see why it's developed an adult fandom. I also think it's worth reccing to anyone who hasn't given it a shot.

( Nattering and a sample link, under the cut. )

I swear, if it were really possible to end up "ded of cute," I'd've been a goner long ago.

Hey, all! Just a quick note to let everyone know I haven't abandoned LJ for good -- not even close! I just had a whole lot of Life to deal with the last few months, and simply did not have time to keep up with everything online at the same time. All's well, though.

There is, of course, No Way I'm going to be able to catch up on everything from the time I was absent. Apologies in advance for any clulessness that might result.

I expect to be around regularly soon, after I can catch up on the latest DW eps so I'm not having to shade my eyes for spoilers everywhere I go. ;) (Actually, you guys are great about marking such posts, but I'd like to be up to speed on what everyone is talking about.) With any luck, writing will resume shortly afterwards. :)

Hope y'all had a great summer!
