Back, and exhausted

[wickedwords]

We arrived home from Escapade near 11pm on Sunday, and I took today off to lounge around and recover. I had an absolutely fabulous time, with very few panels and many wonderful people. The thing I missed the most as an SGA fan was that without an episode showing, there was no spontaneous gathering point, so no big gathering happened. But I still managed to connect with a lot of folks, even if it was only for a sentence or two.

My favorite panel was smallbeer and arallara's panel on "SGA: The Meta that Dare Not Speak Its Name", which was a total blast; the premise was how the white and nerdy male SGA writers managed to give use so much queer subtext, comparing our theorized 'authorial intent' with how it's parsed by a slash fan. From Mary Sue Rodney McKay's relationship with women to how the military is fetishized in the show, it was all a heck of a lot of fun.

I'm hoping to get a con report written, but honestly, probably not. Writing it means admitting that the con is over, and at the moment, I am still enjoying my post-con high. Maybe once I start to crash...

SGA party next year! as you said, we're all going to need help processing season 4.

And seriously, I wouldn't want to imagine the panel without your participation. Also, many, many thanks for the excellent writing panel, and for illuminating the dual nature of John Sheppard. *g* (CURTAINS!)
