Thank You Shout Out: WisCon34 (x-posted to wiscon community)

[xakara]

Thanks to everyone that made Wiscon34 everything I remembered from Wiscon32 only better! I attended even more panels, had many more lingering hall discussions, and shared viewpoints that stayed with me and already have me excited for next year.

A special thanks to those who sought me out after panels with compliments, questions and clarifications. I was deeply flattered both that my points were taken so well and that others bothered to make sure I understood their views in a clearer light.

To the moderators and participants of: Flesh-colored Bandages and Skin Jobs in Real Life & Sci-fi (27), Men of Color in Media, SF/F & Horror (46), Feminist, Faculties & Facilities, System Failure (81), Fanfic & Slash:201 (96), Witches, Real and Fictional (113), Must Pleasures Be Guilty (152), Space: Where are the Indians? (162), Writing the Other: Shout-outs (178) Heroism Defined (206), Fanfic: Threat or Menace? (213), and Expressing Fannish Enthusiasm (229), your patience, wisdom and humor kept me informed and ever-thinking.

To Hope and the Consuite volunteers, my inner anti-socialist appreciated always being able to get that bit of protein that kept my blood-sugar up and therefore kept all the rest of the con-goes unafraid of me. Thank you for all the hard work I know must sometimes feel underappreciated. (As I'm not shunned or in jail after a low-bloodsugar sociopathic rant, I definitely appreciated it, as I'm sure do all my potential victims who were spared, and moondancerdrake  and adriandrake  who shared a room with me and survived--both children in tact no less :D)

I have notes to touch on specific things at the con after I have more time to think on them, but I wanted to make sure to share how happy I am I made it.

I didn't realize how much I missed it last year until this weekend. As for how much I missed you guys, well...we already know words don't cover that. I'm just so glad I was able to go and see you all! It was a great trip back :)
