Witching Hour. I know, I'm just barely getting on this train

Okay, who is going, so I'll make sure to find you? [livejournal.com profile] evil_erato and I are staying "off campus" but we have a car.

And who wants to pimp a panel/presentation that I absolutely must see?

Meanwhile the Federalists have lulled me into a stupor. Grr. SO not finishing this book as it is just, a really horrid book and who cares about John Adams anyway. However, the whole Jefferson hates Hamilton hates Madison hates Jay hates Monroe thing is so much like an online fight that I can't even stand it. Hamilton and Madison used to be BFF and now they aren't anymore; they bitch fight in anonymous newspaper articles; they are jealous of the other's influence over Washington (read: BNF of your choice); Jefferson says he doesn't write any anonymous things but everyone knows that it's his friend doing all of it; no one really wins and everyone sort of loses. It should be a gripping tale! Instead it's 750 pages of trade regulations. Yech. I'm going back to reading secondary sources for my project. Music is so much more interesting.

Dude, I'm so there. I want to sit on a bench and smoke with you and have nice quiet comfortable Clio/Kristen time. If only for 15 minutes. :)

Dude, fully. Also, you need to ping me more! I never know when you're on and you're always invis and I feel we should talk more if possible. ^_^

Am going, am going insane, Julie and my panel is Sunday afternoon, be there or be square. Hope to see you otherwise - staying at the Waterfront!

Don't panic!

Yes, I saw that, and I'm going to be frantically A/Bing with Carrie's Percy panel. However, I feel yours has more potential for throwing chairs.

Please, for all our sakes, make sure no one says "why do you write slash?" I'm relying on you here, babe.

Of course I read BNF as Bare Naked Federalist. What does it actually mean?

Big Name Fan. I couldn't think of another word for like, "online status person who gets but kissed" though of course that phenom goes beyond fandoms to other kinds of online communities. If you know of a more neutral word for that, though, I'd rather use that, as I don't mean to say this sort of thing only happens in fandoms.

I wouldn't mind me a Bare Naked Federalist as Alexander Hamilton was pretty goddamned dreamy.

Ah. Well, as ther term authorial insertion can aproximate the idea of mary sue, i guess the term literati or even superstar might approximate the idea of bnf.

Trade regulations not a gripping plot fulcrum? Lucas thought they were, y'know.

Anyhow, twh - FA party - fries & surprises from 1-330 at the beerworks on friday, and I'm reading Old School fanfics (alternity!) from 10pm to midnight, and presenting again with [livejournal.com profile] idlerat & others at 9 on Saturday.
