Sadly, it's not screamy-teenies to worry about. I was at a con in London, and a middle-aged woman asked Michael Shanks of Stargate for a "cheeky hug".

And then we have the grownups in
Twilight
fandom, before whose cracktastic lack of boundaries all others flee in dread. Bloodplay: not an appropriate way of showing admiration to an actor, ladies and gentlem well, ladies.

I find myself horrified already, without even knowing what happened, but... what happened?
Hmm...could I legally start charging people $1000 for "lunch" with me and neither of us go to jail? 'Cause that beats my current job all to hell.

As I understand it, young Robert Pattinson (who plays the sparkly vampire in the movie) is having to get used to tweenies and their mums approaching him with necks bared, asking him to bite them. Sometimes they have already drawn blood, to be more tempting and sexy. To the
normal boy who just plays a fucking vampire in the movies.
And then there are the Twilight Moms who drive around the town where the book is set, and curb crawl cheerleaders, and offer to buy the clothes off their backs.
Twilight
fandom: not the fainthearted. Or those who have any partiality to actual vampire fiction. Or indeed any literary taste at all.

...oh, okay, that tag doesn't seem to close. Damn.

I want an embroidered sampler of this to hang on my wall.

If the book takes off, I am contemplating offering my services as Gothy Wardrobe Consultant to people who would be willing to pay for travel and my fees. Because then I could afford more corsets and fluffy skirts, yesindeedy.

That sounds like all kinds of fun. Sometime we should all list our talents in case one of us can ever afford an entourage.

A friend of mine attended a horror con back in the 80s and saw a fan open up a vein so Clive Barker could sign an autograph for him in blood. Apparently, Clive is a fainter.

Huh. Turns out I've been in some of the sanest fandoms around. Who knew? When Jensen did "A Few Good Men" he came out for autographs after the play, in the sweaty Dallas heat, and signed away, very politely, absolutely free. Every day. I don't know if he had done a convention by then. Of course, so did Lou Diamond Phillips so it may have been peer pressure.
I've been watching season one Gilmore Girls and it made me think about Fay's post regarding JP's dramatic growth of acting range in the first of the series. I know we've commented on it along the way, but it's just so nice to watch. I can see so much of Rory's Dean at the beginning of Supernatural. As long as he is Jess' Sam, he is still Rory's Dean. But then he gets exponentially better and Rory's Dean disappears. So did Jess' Sam, I guess. Le sigh.
