They ought to have put the adult stuff in one area, and carded people to get into, or given special badges to the underage ones

Frankly, I'm very surprised that they haven't done that yet. But then, the Dragon*Con con-com are not known for being from this planet.

OKAY SO MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T LIVED UNTIL YOU'VE HEARD JASON MOMOA DO HIS JOE FLANIGAN IMPERSONATION I AM JUST SAYING.

Totally worth it. He spent the Stargate panels sprawled all over whoever was sitting next to him (usually McGillion).

Are there any pictures of this?

I wish I could have gone to this year! But even if I had made arrangements with my supervisor leaving there's no way I could have gotten the time off. Next year though!

I have some pictures. I'll have to see what his sprawl condition is in them.

Also, we saw him sitting on a table. Totally worth the price of admission.

Nom nom nom.

Some of these stories remind me why I have no interest in going back to DragonCon. (I went in 1997 during the totally insane time where I was changing jobs and preparing to move from NC to MD. Not to mention my brother's wedding which was in CT.)

Speranza's Written by the Victors is not only a cracking story, but it's also the most interesting use of form and structure I've happened across in a good long while. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

(Given the dearth of opportunities to discuss fanfic in depth offline, it's a pity that the slash panel at Dragon Con apparently wasn't more interested in discussing slash fic. It's such a rich and varied subject in such a host of ways. I mean, not trying to distance myself from the porn, because - yay porn, and the above story certainly has the hot boysex aplenty. But still - it's a cracking piece of writing, and it does interesting and clever things with the source text and with the storytelling process. I'm going to assume that there are slash panels at Cons where the participants have already got over the whole heady rush of being OMG So Naughty, and where they get their teeth into talking fic.)

To those who had previously said they would beta for me, insent.

I was reading a dragon*con panel reports at my Flist and apparently some crazy woman got up in the Stargate panel and asked Paul McGillion and Jason Momoa about whether they were looking forward to killing off Sam Carter in the next season. To which the cast, rightly, responded with flabbergasted distaste.

Honestly, some parts of the fandom make me want to hide in my cave and never come out.

She actually said something like, "I know this will get me in trouble with the audience, but is there any chance either of your characters will kill off Carter next season?"

Much of the audience booed, including us. And yeah, Momoa and McGillion's resopnse was generally "WTF?"
