Read HiddenSky's post many times.

Allyson, you're chronically selling yourself short, and not looking at fandom the way I look at fandom.

I know you can't, that you refuse to, do advance promising for your events. But I've skimmed the show boards after both W&H and D:LA and people seem to sincerely wish they'd gone.

I don't know from promotion of this sort of stuff, but you don't seem to be involved in shindigs that engender regret in the attendees. People like them, and like what you can offer, and a fair number of them cite the things you can't guarantee as gravy.

I don't know if more people saying this makes a difference -- that there can be people who want a D:LA and people who want a Lostie Con, and even people who want both. If you were doing Lost cons, then, yeah, this'd be stinky. But as far as I can tell, you were never in that business.

Done now.

I offically do not care if any Buffiista ever sees any Lost castmember in the flesh.

It is all about the writers, all the time.

I gotta admit, I care not one whit for the writing on Lost.

Some pretty people on it, though.

Doomed.

The show?

Doomed.

Pretty people do not make a show.

Well, I don't respect the writing.

But pretty can get you quite far, if you exploit it right.

Some people like the writing -- they can mob the scribes. I'll just kick back and look at the eye candy. Don't need to meet it.

I think that on an episode-by-episode basis, the writing is actually pretty respectable. It's just over the season that it's not holding up. I mean, I don't spend a lot of time wincing at clunky dialog when I'm watching.

Not being pretty, I'll take your word for the facts.

Fuck all that faux modesty!

I be pretty. Lost has lyrics. Maybe we are both easy.

Somebody announce the name of a series that was not cancelled soon after the first C&D came out of the lawyer's office.

What's a C&D?

Cease and Desist!
