Okay, since youtube hates me, I finally got the six parts to the friday night panel up.  Now, the tags are pretty much all the same, and all six bits are in a playlist, so if someone could tell me why the next one doesn't show up in the sidebar, I'd greatly appreciate it!  (Even more if you can tell me how to fix it!)

Heh. Shannon claims to be embarrassed by how sick she was at the panel. I countered by telling her I WASN'T sick and was visibly more out of it than she. I even (accidentally) head-butted another beta.

She was sick at MarsCon?  You couldn't tell at all.  She's a trooper.

she held it together well but it meant I didn't get a hug. I wanted a hug. I did get to have breakfast with her Sunday so that was cool.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to thank everyone for attending MarsCon. Hope you had a good time despite our little screw-up in the schedule by putting Jim in such small rooms at the beginning. Never knew he would be that popular.

Please let me know what you liked about our con and what you didn't like. We are always trying to improve.

God of MarsCon

We had a great time.  The fact that you guys responded so quickly to the size of the Jim crowd was truly impressive.  A very nice con with a lot of nice people.  Thank you. :)

She is!  And I rather enjoyed her small Q&A.  She was very candid and like her husband, obviously passionate about her work.  I hope she's all better now!

Yesterday, Jim said she was at about 80%, but he had a full-blown case of the con crud.

I have sort of a self-centered question... Did someone mention fanfics at the con or something?  I'm abruptly getting a huge spike in readership and "favorite story" of the two Dresden fanfics I wrote and posted on fanfic.net  Not that I'm complaining!  Not at all.  I'm just wondering why after all these months, there's a bunch of new readers all of a sudden.  :D

I am constantly making links for new folks to the fanfics.  Especially when anyone complains that GS is gonna be delayed. 

Placebo, anyone?

Likely a side effect of a con with the author's appearance combined with public revelation of OMGOMGOMG-type stuff. People suddenly find themselves hungry for anything related to the storyverse, and fanfic is readily accessible - and GOOD fanfic gets the word-of-mouth on the OMGOMGOMG circuit.

I understand you. As I used to visit this forum before going to bed, sometimes I dream with Dresden, or that I am with some of you at a convention, Q&A or whatever.
