Okay, back from Com.txt 2016 and going through the process of trying to remember everyone new I met so that I can find/follow them on whichever social media platform they're using.
If anyone's wondering why I've friended them today, that's probably why. ;)
If anyone's wondering who this @apaintedmaypole is and if they've actually met this person, I'm that tall girl covered in bees who spends a lot of time hanging with @momosandlemonsoda, @arallara, uschickens (DW), @trixiebobixie, and others. :)
OMG YOU GUYYYYYSSSSSS, I love fandom. Fun things from Con.txt:
1) There were folks at the Con.txt fanfair from Bad Influence Press selling the stunningly beautiful RAW: A Hannibal/Will Anthology. And, even if you aren't a huge Hannibal/Will fan, you need to look at this book and see how beautifully designed it is. (TBH, I'm not really in the fandom either-- YET!!!-- but I'm definitely a fangirl of fans producing gorgeous things and thus I am a fan of RAW.)
2) These same folks were also selling a recently printed Man From U.N.C.L.E. fan comic called The Forget-Me-Not Affair by Diigii Daguna. (To be specific, I think it's a limited run, hand printed fan comic, done using a gorgeous blue and orange two color process. GORGEOUS.)
[See/preview it here.]
3) Fun Web Comic I Plan On Reading: Strong Female Protagonist
Summary from Website: "Alison Green used to be one of the most powerful superheroes around. Fighting crime with other teenagers under the alter ego Mega Girl was fun until an encounter with Menace, her mind reading arch enemy. He showed her evidence of a sinister conspiracy, and suddenly battling giant robots didn't seem so important. Now Alison is going to college and trying to find ways to help the world while still getting to class on time. It's impossible to escape the past, however, and everyone has their own idea of what it means to be a hero..."
4) Fic to Read: Genesis by @teaberryblue
Summary from AO3: "Reluctant to make the truth about their secret weapon known, the American Government tells the world that Captain America is a man named Steve Rogers. According to public record, he died, tragically, in 1945, and he became legend.
In 1998, the Avengers find a body trapped in ice.
She has Captain America's shield."
5) PRO TIP: If you want to buy Due South DVDs, make sure you buy the Canadian version. They are better. Much, much better. (Extras, better quality visuals, etc.)
6) Fic to Read: Exeunt, Pursued By Heteronormativity by psocoptera
Summary from AO3: "Shitty Knight takes a post-graduation road trip. Four friends, six thousand miles, two tents, several embarrassing photos, a giant rabbit, three cops, and a bear."
7) Cool tech tool to check out: Rabbit is a free screensharing and conferencing tool that allows you to watch streaming content with a group of up to 10 friends.
8) E-Book Rec'd at Con: Liberator (Flights of Love Book 1) by Shelley B. Mcpherson
Summary: "David Adler is a bisexual grad student in Cleveland in 1984 when he meets a physics professor named Jim Wysynski. Jim is a WWII veteran and seems oddly focused on David, who discovers why when he travels back in time to 1941 and meets a nineteen year old Jim. Liberator is the story of how they connect, fall in love, and serve in the Army Air Force in the Pacific theater."
