Well, that was fun

[shapinglight]

Back from Writerconuk, where there were interesting talks and meaningful discussion (some of it was meaningful, honest!). We also watched the Doctor Who premier, ate a lot, drank a lot, laughed a lot, were rude about the Buffy comics and other fandom pet peeves a lot, and generally enjoyed ourselves.

I'm going again next year, and if you've ever considered it and thought - nah!, you should definitely reconsider and come along next time. It was great!

:Waves to everyone: Hope you all got home okay?

ETA: Just realised I quoted Spike from Lovers Walk in the title of this post, and I didn't even mean to. How very fannish of me.

It was lovely to see you. Glad you got home OK - S2C, Enchanter's Night and I have been for a very nice Lebanese meal this evening.

Was that just up the road? The place with the big metal gates?

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Yes - and very nice the food was, too! Actually so were the staff.

Hooray!! I had a great time, though a bit tired and hungover this evening... Managed a super quick connection between Euston and King's Cross, so I was happy about that!

That's good. My journey went without a hitch really. I didn't even have to climb any stairs at Crewe.

Oh hat quote is ace.

It's good, isn't it? ;)

So glad you had fun!! Write about it if you feel like it later. I'd love to hear.

I'll try to say a bit more at some point, but it's one of those things where it's not that easy to write about. At least, that's what I find.

Er....

There'll definitely be some Thoughts arising from it anyway.

It sounds like fun was had. I hope everyone is safely home now.

[shapinglight]

Yes, I think so. And thanks. :)

It sounds thrilling! Really! Also, MiAmor mentioned today that he is jealous of the Paris trip. Then said he'd like to put the UK on the list for next time, if this trip goes well. To which I say...can we coordinate with WriterconUK 2016? All the best people, you know.

[shapinglight]

That would be great if you could. :)

Writerconuk next year will probably be around mid-September again, or possibly a week earlier. Keep watching the comm for details.

That's what they're there for.

[shapinglight]

I think so. :)

Speaking of which, the new issue comes out tomorrow.

*waves* That is a very fair summary, indeed *g*
It was lovely to see you again.
What was the eventual outcome of S's visit? Good, I hope?

What was the eventual outcome of S's visit? Good, I hope?

Yes, seems okay so far. He said the new boyfriend was nice. Just seems to have taken it in his stride, in fact, as both M and I thought he should. Good for him.

Sounds like a fun time :)

[shapinglight]

It was. You should give it a try next year. :)

These always sound like so much fun. I'm glad that Writercon continues to go on across the pond.

Yes, though our version is a lot cosier and more parochial than the US one used to be, I'm sure.
