Vampire Conference!

[naomi_jay]

Oh, what's this! Hot on the heels of next month's She-Wolf conference in Manchester, there's going to be a vampire conference next November in London! Is it too early to be getting excited about going? I wonder if Laurell will approve?

DO WANT. I need monies and a passport and possibly someone to buy me an airline so I can fly to this.

And lol I am amused that Laurell's on a panel for BDSM themes in vampire pop culture. Considering that I'm pretty sure she's not up on pop culture, it'd...really be something.

Ha! Am I bad person for wanting her to crash and burn? Yeah, I am. Did you see Jennifer Armintrout's recent blog about her "Woe, I am bleeding on my keyboard!" post? Priceless.

But yeah! I'll put you up! We'll steal a plane! We'll fake you a passport! Your destiny awaits!

I just googled the blog and wooow. I really like that there are other people out there willing to say no to this bullshit. Maybe if enough of her peers say "Laurell, stop saying words," she'll pay attention. Lord knows, she's not listening to her audience.

Woo! Destiny! I'll pack my vampire fangs, because you never know when they're necessary for an evening out.

I'm sure LKH would just consider Armintrout one of those nasty little writers who's just stealing her ideas and write a blog about jellus haterz. But we can dream of a better world, right?

The mean part of me says that this better world is where we've rejected LKH's reality and subsituted our own, and she doesn't understand how she's been left behind in her own genre. She pioneered it!

Sounds all-too plausible to me.

My my, aren't we being snarky? What did she ever do except write pron disguised as urban fantasy? oh wait...

This sounds like fun... But where would I sleep... /googles hotels and looks at calendar.

Omg, I so want to go! I even live nearby! (Kinda... it's the same city anyway. :P)

I am well up for it! If the programme turns out to look as interesting as the She-Wolf one, I'll be there.
