I'm so excited! Not only do I get to see friend I haven't seen in almost a year there, but it's a first-year con and I've got FOUR new outfits to wear (read: prance around in) AND I'll be going as a guest! We're still working out times for our panels, but hopefully that'll be fixed by tonight. (Supposedly,) I will be giving these panels:
Cosplay Myths and Realities
Religion and Myth in Green Lantern
Doctor Who: The Companions That Never Were
How to Improve Your Fan Fiction In Less Than an Hour
Stop by if you're in the VA Beach area this weekend!
I know I've got people reading my Ventrobi fic "Beautiful Tragedy" who are wondering why I haven't posted the ret of it on DA. Simple answer: I'm too lazy to go through all the formatting DA requires for text submissions. I rather like just uploading the .doc file to FF.net or AO3 and being done with it. I'm currently (as in right now) typing up chapter 16, so I will hopefully have that posted sometime this week. It's getting into the good stuff now hermagherd! If you haven't found it on FF.net yet, here's the whole thing: www.fanfiction.net/s/9262083/1… In all likelihood I will eventually post it all here on DA, but right now I'm focused on just finishing it.
Onto another thing: THE NEW SNEAK PEEK OF MALEFICENT!!! ks;ngjngbjsgnm HOW AWESOME WAS IT?! Lana Del Rey's rendition of "Once Upon a Dream" is creepy as hell and I love it! And seeing more of Angelina as my favorite Disney villain ever was wonderful. The makeup and the costuming and the dragon made of vines and everything look amazing!!! I really wish I could throw together a Maleficent cosplay in time for the premiere in May, but I'll be just as happy to have my butt in the theater opening day and let the beauty of the movie invade my eye holes.
