I love Douglas Clegg. I follow a handful of writer blogs, but I think he and Gaiman are the only ones I probably stalk, as it were.
His list is beautiful, because the few cons I've been to I've seen the same behavior, and I saw similiar crap at my reunion, and at business stuff I've gone to - it doesn't just apply to writing conferences.
I'd never survive that sort of thing. Just putting an offer up for bid terrified me. If I had to try and communicate with people Iworship look up to, I'd probably pass out or otherwise humiliate myself.
Not that it really matters, since I can't see why I'd ever be at one. Heck, I mostly go to Darkover to see Maile (and I hope they have another panel on vampires, cause that cracke me the fuck up).
Now, fix dinner or county my pennies for pizza? Dratted guilt.

This whole 'authors having ljs' still surprises me, though I'm not sure why. I don't think anyone I know irl has even heard of lj. Perhaps that's it. Hm, it would be so weird to become 'friends' with a favorite author. ^_^
