misc. fandom stuff

1) I want to run a panel at Y-con this year.

I'm thinking what might be cool -- a panel on the differences between canon yaoi and inferred yaoi. Y'know, there are shows where the ghey is actually in the show, but the really popular fandoms seem to be the one where there's no outright ghei, and it's all put in there by the fans. Why is that? Discuss.

I think I could run a panel without much problem. Better at Y-con than some place like, say, Otakon, where there are sixty zillion people. Y-con is much more of a family atmosphere. (By which I mean, community, not little-kids family.) Whenever I go to panels at Y-con I end up talking almost as much as the panelist anyway. >_>;

I guess you have to apply... and stuff. Maybe the webiste would tell me more if it wasn't down.

2) I wanna cosplay Mosp from Sluggy Freelance at Otakon next year (or AX, if I don't go to Otakon.)

I seriously do. Unfortunately this will be very complicated and difficult. Why? Because Mosp is a giant snake-woman with snakes for hair. X_x I do not think my limited tailoring skills are up to this.

3) I have all this stuff and I want to distribute it places like MLs and LJ comms because I am a comment whore. unfortunately, I don't want to totally spam people and I can't think straight to coordinate it. *is scatterbrained*

*Pats* There, there. I'm sure it'll all be better in the end.

School computers won't let me see that picture (wtf? They'll let me read pr0n but won't let me look at an image?) but I'm sure that with a few days of not brushing your hair, you could achieve the proper 'wild, untameable, attacking-anybody-whole-walks-past-you' effect with the hair. As for the rest of the costume, HAHHAH you're screwed *runs for cover*

Because the good stories don't have the gay. When they make an anime about the gay, it's usually sloppy and full of girl-boys. *shudders* Or it's very short and has a really small fandom you will miss if you blink. *hugs Nightwalker even if she's been kicked out of the fandom*

The only thing that looks like a gay anime of a decent lenght with plot is Kyou Kara Maou. I have some hope for it right now...

If you want to do a panel, and you offer, Y Con will probably let you. They ok'd me without even asking me any questions. You just won't find out if it's been accepted until the month before the con.

I think it's a good idea. If you gave out a list of canon-yaoi shows vs. inferred yaoi, that would be very useful. There are probably some fans who don't know all of the yaoi titles available.

Hmm. The shows about The Gay tend to be pretty short, for some reason, and it's hard to sustain a fandom where the focus is all on relationships (where there's really no plot). I wouldn't say this is true for me - I like writing Yuki/Shuuichi, for example - but some people have less fun messing around with established relationships. They get together in the series, so why bother?

And I say go ahead and spam. Everyone on LJ is pretty much a comment whore, I think. :D (Not me, no, of course not....)

A Mosp costume would friggin kick ass. Good luck with that!

Sounds like a cool panel ^__^

So far, the main reason I've found that i prefer inferred yaoi rather than actualy yaoi is that actual yaoi manga/anime are too damn easy! They're like candyfloss compared to chocolate cake. They look good and taste sweet but don't really have as much substance. Its not the case all the time of course. And its just much more fun to work out yaoi pairings rather than have them done for you.

Gimme something like Demon Diary where I can work things about the characters out myself over FAKE where all the work is done any day!

You uh...could ask me if you wanted. About what info you need to run a panel. I'm sorta in charge, so I could answer any of your questions until the site comes back up. And you already said something about wanting to co-panel Whats Your Kink with me...
