OMG!

Just been reading the flist and [livejournal.com profile] seiyaharris was talking about the Connotations slash con and it's on in Tynemouth, 30 minutes from where I live!!!!

I'm just so excited just now, I've printed off the booking form because there's only 100 places but man, a slash con where I live. I'm stunned.

I've never talked to a slasher in real life. I'm so excited that this might happen, but also at the same time terrified.

I'm just....whoa"" at the moment!

I really need an icon that goes eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Slash cons are fun and meeting the people there is wonderful. I always come back liking new fandoms. LOL. ^___^

They always sound fun, and I'm determined to get to this one. The last thing I need are new fandoms though *g*

That's part of my problem. I see slash everywhere. LOL

if you can manage it, you MUST go. cons are fabulous fun, and the experience of being able to talk to people who *get* it is the best ever. it doesn't even matter so much if there are fandoms in common, because fannish behavior overrides little things like that - squeeing together about Teh Pretty is just grand.

you need to do this, for yourself!

I think I will go. It's cheap enough and having it so close to home it'll be stupid not to take the chance.

The thought of talking to people who do *get* it is weird. I've people who listen when I babble on but they're just being polite and don't understand why I love it so much.

Talking to other fans face to face just seems a wonderful thing!

I totally agree. Being a slaher online is fun, but being in a room full of them is amazing. You would have such a great time!!!

You've all helped convince me to go :)

I'm sending a cheque in the morning, 100 slashers, it's like a dream!

You've got to go. This year's Connotations was *excellent*, and if it's only 30 miles away you'd be mad to miss it. I'll be driving up from Leicester :-)

It'd be cool to meet you.

I e-mailed and got a provisional place yesterday, so it looks like I am going.

I was going to apply this year but the con filled up too fast and I missed the chance. So my cheque will be in the mail in the morning. I've had too many people say how fantastic these cons are to miss out this time, especially as it's so close.

It's be cool to meet you too, and see the infamous dog and zombie sex author in person ;)

OMG!

Aw, I'm sorry sweetie *pets you*

You're more than welcome to come see me and meet all the slashers. You just have to know that Tynemouth is *right* on the coast so your cat side may object.
