WriterCon Wrap up Ramblings

[regala_electra]

My brain is fried.

That's all I have to say. Vegas was both interesting and fucking hot. And scary. So yeah, don't ever need to go there again. WriterCon was fab and it was great meeting people, as I am not as much of a people-person as I should be. Any pretense of innocence I had left is now gone. I think I horrified some people and annoyed others. I only tripped once.

I got strange looks for saying that I write B/A. And then I usually had to explain that I'm all into the slash and UC pairings now. Oh yeah.

I enjoyed talking to people I've never known before and meeting those who I have known for a long time but never really met them in person.

I took tons of pictures. The downloading of them to the computer will probably take forever.

My brain is still fried.

I got royally fucked over at the airport when I was leaving. My flight was delayed two hours (and I found this out at midnight, basically thirty minutes before my flight was going to leave) and then another hour when we were all on the plane while they checked their equipment so the plane could take off. The evil flight attendant wouldn't give me a blanket, even though everyone else got one. I froze to death. I barely got any sleep.

I went to work somehow and it turns out, I wasn't needed. I could have stayed home.

I took off today because I still felt like crap. I'm feeling slightly better now at least.

I only partly believe that Vegas wasn't just a dream.

Hopefully I will post something that makes sense.

I'm peeved that you felt you had to apologize for writing B/A. You're a damn fine writer.

Glad you had a good time, sorry about the plane screw-up and you have confirmed my impressions of Las Vegas.

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you. I was more amused, mostly because in the 'B/A' circle of fandom, I'm one of the 'bad' writers because I don't write happy fluffy mulch. I tend to write darker, so it's really funny to see people immediately assume I'm a fluff writer.

Yes, Las Vegas is really not my cup of tea. Or my cup of poison.

Are we honestly so shunned now? *supersob!*

[theantijoss.livejournal.com]

Dude, you have no idea.

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Not shunned, no. The majority of the writers there wrote primarily Spuffy, so yeah, one does get weird looks for saying, "Oh I write B/A." The thing is that, it's my favorite canon pairing on BtVS/AtS, but I don't only write that one, I'm also a slasher and a UC writer. So it was just really funny.

Pretty good summation of Vegas. I'm glad you seemed to enjoy your time there. Hopefully, you will recover quickly from the trip.

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Finally recovered, thank the gods.

I really have no desire to ever go to Vegas again.

*slurps you* It was UNREAL meeting you, babe. You're too awesome for words, and thanks to your pimping, I'm going to sit down and watch the entirety of Farscape all over again! *g*

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...Farscape.

Heh, it's strange meeting people you've been talking to so damn long over the internet.

[theantijoss.livejournal.com]

I know -- we're all like, three dimensional and shit now. ;)

Hi! I met so many people over the weekend that I'm not sure if I got to really talk to you or not. I think I remember meeting you, but my memory may be flawed.

I DO remember reading some of your BtVS/Farscape xover, but I didn't get to finish it because I was tried/drunk/punchy from the stupid desert. Where can I find it? And have you written more xovers with Farscape?

*hugs you, just cause*

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Aww, hugs. I do remember you too. You were the pretty, friendly ladyfolk who I wanted to talk to, but as I'm a bit of a social outcast, I totally didn't.

Oh, crossover, okay, the best link is here:

Hopefully, you'll enjoy.

*hugs you*

Is it okay if I friend you?

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

Yes! Friend away, I don't mind at all. Thank you for the linkage. :)

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

And the link isn't working for me! *flails*

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

That's odd.

Here's the raw link:

and you can go to http://shriftweb.org/leviathan and search for my name Regala Electra and it'll be there. Heh, I enjoy making people work for their fic reading delights.

*giggles* Okay, then! Thank you.
