I know this is early since it's been less than a month since I returned from my last Harry Potter convention, but 2019 is shaping up to be a major convention year.

So far I'm contemplating FOUR conventions. (!!!)

1. Misticon: I'm definitely attending. I already have early-bird con tickets and room reservations. *g*

2. Leakycon - Boston: I'm planning to go. [personal profile] titti will hopefully be successful in her efforts to get tickets since they can go fast. Plus, Boston in October will be perfect weather. :)

3. Potterversecon: I wasn't sure they'd throw this one again since apparently attendance was lower this year than last, but they made it sound like they planned to, so it's on the potential list.

4. LEVIOSA 2019! [personal profile] lilyseyes just sent me a link to their site. The best part of the last Leviosa was that a lot of online fans were there. If it's like that again, I'm totally going since cons for me are all about the people. Although 4 cons in one year is...wow.

And there could be other ones, I have no idea.

Guess I know how I'm spending my vacation days next year. :)

*waves sheepishly*

Hello, my name is Alisanne and I used to post here a lot...

I'm joking (sort of) but I'm sorry I've been MIA this week. I blame it all on Trump this new game I'm addicted to (and Trump).

Anyway, I know I promised updates on all sorts of things, so Imma start with con updates. :)

A couple weeks ago there was this con called Leaky... )
Alas, I had to work for a few days between cons, but then came Potterversecon!
Last weekend was also a con, called Potterverse )
I got home safe and sound, and have been here several days, I've just been buried in my game. Thanks to [personal profile] brumeier for poking me and spurring me on to come online again. ♥

I totally owe you all replies and I will prolly be slow doing it. Be patient with me, please. :)
And, as a reward for having waded through all that, have a pic of *most* of my Potterversecon loot )
And finally, if any of you are interested in con fun, next year is Misticon, which I plan on attending. I hope to see you there! <3

Hey, all!
I'm back home after traveling yesterday (and delayed planes - boo), but was wiped when I got home so I went straight to bed.
Apologies for the recent radio silence, but between the RL destination wedding I attended, AND getting to hang with my bbs [personal profile] dementordelta and [personal profile] lilyseyes at LeakyCon, there wasn't much time for writing.
I will do my best to update all my WsIP this week (for those of you who follow them). ♥

BUT get ready for spam anyway because I have many updates to talk about.

1) There will be a LeakyCon post *g*
2) I got my most recent HP Lootcrate just before I left, so there's that to show you all
3) I have this week's (short) fic wrap up to post
4) There was this little thing called MY BIRTHDAY this past week and I OWE a ton of replies to posts and PMs, and emails.
5) And I have this week's SSHP Prophet to start collecting links for (technically that's not something I'll post here, but in my mind it counts).
Oh! And 6) I just got my [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised assignment, so I need to squee about that!


SO...more to come! MUAH!
alisanne: (Default)
Hey, you guys!

So I haven't been online in a while, mainly because of vacation week, which includes my being at LeakyCon this weekend with [personal profile] dementordelta and [personal profile] lilyseyes (OMG, managed coding while drunk!) and we just came from dinner where we had several butterbeers (with butterscotch schnapps and Captain Morgan's rum), and so I am tipsy.

Which means I should be just in time for [community profile] firewhiskeyfic tonight! *crosses fingers that coding's correct*

AND I am trying to bring Delta and Lily to the party, too, wish me luck! *g*

Anyway, this was all to say THANK YOU for all the wonderful birthday wishes (which I will reply to soon, I promise). Just know I adore you all. ♥

Hey, everyone! *waves*
I have made it to vacation and am currently lounging in my hotel in San Francisco! *glee*
Amazingly, there were no major delays, and I seem to have remembered almost everything. I certainly seem to have remembered all the electronics, so yay!

As an aside, I watched "Love, Simon" on the plane, and what a sweet movie! I was weeping by the end, of course. The actors were all excellent. ♥

Right, here's the list:
Ali's List of Fics: July 30 - August 6th )
Also, here's what I'll be working on this week (when I can).
Ali’s To-Do/WsIP List )

So, I didn't have a chance to ask before leaving, but is there anyone in San Francisco who wants to meet up? I'm here for the destination wedding of a couple of dear friends, so Wed and Thursday are taken, but maybe tomorrow we could do something? I'm always up for meeting more fen!
If anyone is interested I can create a filter so we can discuss it in more detail. Just LMK!

Also, I will be heading to LeakyCon at the end of the week with [personal profile] dementordelta and [personal profile] lilyseyes. Is anyone else attending?

It occurred to me in the shower this morning that I hadn't yet posted my Leaky Con report. And of course, since it's been weeks since the con, I've prolly forgotten a bit too much to do my usual day by day recount of all the fun that was had. So, have the random report...
Bullet point style! )
I've forgotten tons, but the bottom line is this: It was nice to get away and hang with mah fandom peeps.
As for upcoming con plans:
Misti was a better con and I definitely plan on going in 2015.
Not sure about Leaky next year. The idea of a disorganized con committee in JULY in FLORIDA (which is not my favorite state right now anyway) makes me cringe.
And if the rumors of Lubricus 2014 are true I am totally going to that. :)
alisanne: (Default)
Sorry for the spammage tonight, but I'm in the process of packing to go to LeakyCon and realized I hadn't done a general survey of the Flist to see who else is going. *smacks self*
So...questions!

1) Are you going to LeakyCon in Portland?
2) If so, when are you getting in?
3) Are you staying in the Con hotel? If so, how do I stalk find you?
4) Any specific lectures you're planning on attending?
5) This time the Snarry Suite is being run in conjunction with the Slash Suite. Are you planning to visit?
6) Voodoo donuts, y/y?
7) Anything I forgot to ask? If so, tell meeee!

So Leaky Con has ended. *sad smile*

The leaving feast, which was from noon to three today, was huge and fun. After hugging [insanejournal.com profile] lilyseyes goodbye and putting her in a cab to the airport, I hung out in the lobby, where several attendees (no doubt from the Starkids crowd) were trying to organize enough to form a flash mob. That was the point where I wandered back to my room and, watched the Olympics. :)

As it turns out, they have already announced the location for next year's Leaky Con. Portland! (Personally I was pulling for the moon *g*).
In addition, it seems they will be collaborating with the organizers of the fest I mentioned a few weeks ago, Alohomora, so apparently there will be TWO Leaky Cons next year, both within six weeks of each other. *blinks*

Since I'd been eyeing the London con, I may still try to go to that, although I dunno if I'll be able to swing both Leakys AND Misti Con. We'll see.

*sighs* So many cons, so little time. Still, at this rate, I am less worried about our poor, dead fandom. *giggles*
alisanne: (Default)
There was more Starkid, yes there was. Which means that the other panels were empty enough to be comfortable for the rest of us.;)
A cool day in Chicago in August? Oh yes! )
Tomorrow is the leaving feast!
alisanne: (Default)
May I just say? The weather in Chicago is lovely. Sixty nine degrees and windy (surprise!). A huge improvement on 110, let me tell you. :P
So what did we do today?
Starkid, Smarkid )

Also, thank you to everyone who posted/sent me birthday greetings, emails, PMs, Vgifts and fics. I shall be posting a huge thank you post in a day or so, but in the meantime I just want you all to know that you're awesome and I adore you! ♥
alisanne: (Default)
I'm at my first Leaky Con!
Here's what's been going on so far )
I hope everyone's doing well! ♥
alisanne: (Default)
Hello, FList!
So I am off to Leaky Con! Wheee!

Anyone who will be there, or in Chicago, comment on this post if you'd like to get together!

[insanejournal.com profile] lilyseyes and [livejournal.com profile] sassy_cissa, I am on my way! *bounces*

Also? The usual rules apply. Please, no breaking the internets. ;)
alisanne: (Default)
Now that Ascendio is over I'm seeing a lot of posts about upcoming HP cons. I'm sad that I missed that one but am excited that I prolly won't miss any more this year. *dances excitedly*

I'm going to Leaky Con and Lubricus this year for sure, and of course I'd love to know if any of you are attending those, but this is really about cons next year.

There's already excitement (and some panic apparently) about Misti-Con, so who's going to that?
How about Alohomora?
There's also Wizards at sea (is it bad that I'm kinda drooling over that one?), and there's even Leaky Con on the moon!

So...thoughts?
alisanne: (Default)
So, is anyone going to Leaky Con in Chicago this year?
I am, and I know [insanejournal.com profile] lilyseyes is, too, since she's my roommate. *g*
Anyone else?
