Burbank CON teaser... fanfic & trivia, oh my
Okay, here's the thing.
I plan to have an outstanding time at the Burbank Convention, and I'm convinced it's going to be a lot of fun. You know, the kind of fun that comes with a need for a lot of tissues. *g* Anyway, since I'll be there, and I'll have all those tissues; I want to indulge all my special Farscape obsessions, and that means Trivia and FanFic!
For any writer or reader of FanFic, the BBQ is hoping for a somewhat organized get-together to participate in what should be a fun (at least for me) thing I have in mind. After all, it's incumbent upon us to create our own fun when the talent isn't fawning all over us during convention hours! *g*
It looks like the best time is going to be Friday or Saturday Evening, probably late, as it will have to be after the special events Creation has planned. But, hey, is anyone planning on sleeping?
So, if you think it would be fun to hang out with a bunch of writers and readers, this is the event for you. And finally, simply to torture all you writers who want to participate; here's where the real torture comes in [insert evil grin here].
The BBQ is dyin' to issue a small CON challenge to the fic writers in the room and see what you guys can come up with in about 30 minutes and 100-200 words or so. Laptops are optional; I'll have mine to lend to someone; pads and pencils will be provided for those without.
While that's goin' on maybe fling a little trivia. Hm. All this and unsupervised adults. This should be interesting.
Added bonus for the BBQ; the challenge responses will be archived here at Farscape Ally under, what else; The Burbank CON Fic Challenge! [I think I'll need some of you readers to help me come up with something... appropriately devious after all this build up].
Location for this event is scheduled to be the SaveFarscape.com Hospitality Suite. Thanks much to the folks at sf.com for the accomodation! I'll leave the information at the Bell Desk on Time/Location, just ask for the location of the Farscape Writers Group.
Hope to see as many of you there as will fit in the room, I'm dying to meet everyone I've only known through their words; both writers and you lovely feedback givers.
Leaving nothing to chance, the BBQ has wrangled the following authors to submit to her torture: birthsister, cofax, imloco2, KernilCrash, Maayan, OneEye the DRD, orchidcactus, Red (aka The Right Brain), and thewholebrain; oh, and Shrift! Hopefully those of you who I haven't had time to contact will also be there!
