maderrDarkover is fun so far ^__^
The only things that have bugged me so far are one author, but I remember said author irritating me last time, as well. So meh.
The other thing that recently popped up was a pretty mean attitude toward fanfiction. I really do not see why writers get so bitchy. I mean, I've learned my lesson on letting people into my cannon, but fanfiction? What's the bloody harm? I really much prefer writers like Rowling, who understand and appreciate that sort of thing, than the snotty set who talk about lawyers and crap. Grow up.
I bought something at the art room ^__^ And I am hoping to buy one more thing, as a present. Also bought my mother some awesome awesome coffee.
The Guest of Honor is Patricia Briggs, which is kind of cool. I like her Mercey Thompson books okay, though parts irritate me - but what about most modern supernatural books do not? I need to learn to shutup, because I'm sure Dwtd has flaws of its own.
Now, write or go troll the dealer's room? Hmm.
Aha, it was funny though. They went on for a bit how you should never write about something you hate or sneer at. But, I guess it's different with me? I don't write from 'that is beneath me and I hate it' POV so much as a "argh, you're fucking ths up and I'm tired of it' POV which is pretty fucking arrogant, but if this con teaches me anything it's that no writer lacks for arrogance - even us shy ones totally overwhelmed by all the real writes running around -__-
But if they get nasty about fanfiction again, I'm going to lose my temper, I swear.
