thrihyrne | Lumos, and how to find me!

Lumos is coming up fast and furious. I've already been planning what to pack. :P Since there are many of you on my flist that I'll be devastated if I don't get to see you and actually talk to for a while (

snottygrrl,

geoviki,

redpiratemel,

isiscolo,

kerryblaze,

tarie, for example), I'm going to provide some info about how I can be found. I'm staying at the Marriott itself, and if there's a bulletin board or somesuch, I'll post my room number. If you look at the Lumos programming schedule you'll see that I'm giving my talk on Friday at 3:00, so you know where I'll be at that point. I've been trying to promote my

lumos_ronslash group, but don't have a lot of feedback yet. Hopefully those of us who are Ron-centric will find each other.

Anyway— just wanted to put that out there; feel free to email me and I'll send you my cell phone number as another way to get in touch. My charger broke at The Witching Hour, ergo my phone wasn't very helpful, but I think it should be good for this event.

Looking forward to it, besides also being nervous!!!

Have a fantastic time! And best wishes on your presentation (though you won't need them!) Please give John Granger my best if you get to talk to him. I'll be in Florida, giving a couple of policy lectures for the Cato Institute, so I'll be thinking of you, long distance style! *huge hugs*

You're so kind! I haven't done something like this in a while, but I keep reminding myself that people will be there because they're interested. It's bound to be a supportive crowd! Hope that your instruction goes well. Got my copy of your book yesterday, too. (((hugs and love)))

Remember how you wowed them at MythCon? You'll wow them at Lumos, too, I have no doubt. :)

By the way, you asked recently about my wrist, and I don't think I've yet replied. Thanks so much! It's doing remarkably well. I signed something like fifty books in Toronto, and it didn't hurt! I couldn't believe it. I still see the therapist once a month (that's as much to help with the arthritis as the post-op stuff), but I can honestly say that it isn't a factor, at least at the moment. It's amazing. You'll never know how much your kindness and care meant to me during that whole operation period.

Thanks for your good wishes. It should be fun, but I wish I was seeing your presentation!!!

I hope you like The Magic Ring. I really think it's a beautiful story. The best part, IMHO, is the use of the nested stories - everything you learn, even in the offhand stories one character tells another, is important. Everything is related. It's a beautiful example of that medieval interlace structure that makes The Lord of the Rings such a fascinating read. Thanks again for your help with the research! I hope you saw you're in the acknowledgements! :) *more huge hugs*

I wish I could go! It's driving distance (6 hours), but work. Busiest time of the year, so I couldn't get away. :(

But you have a wonderful time and tell us all about it! (With pictures, maybe?) :)

Oh, that would be cool to see you! It sold out back in February, hard to believe. :P

I'll have great fun; I'll take my camera, too. I didn't get nearly enough pictures of people from The Witching Hour, though I got a few good ones of the Quidditch in the rain/mud. This year they're doing water Quidditch.

You're so brave. :) I'm astonished at anyone who voluntarily chooses to give any kind of presentation. lol.

But I know you'll be brilliant! Wish I could hear it in person.

Well, I'll have sweaty palms and goodness knows what else, but of all things to be presenting, it's a topic I care about and in front of people who are fellow fans, y'know? I don't think I'm proposing anything too provocative, really.

I wish you could be there, too! They will be recording the sessions, though, so you may be able to hear it anyway. I'll get details to you when I have them.

That will be so wonderful to be immersed in such wonderful atmosphere! I'm sure you'll find plenty of Ron-o-philes to hob nob with. It would be such a treat to be able to see you deliver your talk...I'll just have to settle for a transcript, I reckon! And I have no doubt your eloquent insights will dazzle and inspire!

The presentations *are* being recorded, I'm just not sure what kind of format will be available afterwards. There will also be a compendium of papers, as I understand it. The only reason I haven't posted my paper publicly is that it's under consideration for the inaugural issue of "Distraction," an online journal focused exclusively on fanfiction. The inaugural date, however, has been pushed back multiple times, hence why nobody's seen my paper. :P

(I may send it to you in pdf format, regardless.)

*sighs* Wish I were going to be there! I'd love to read a copy of your paper though, if that's possible sometime? I'm sure you'll do just fine, the thing is to remember that everyone else is probably nervous about speaking too. {{hugs}}

Yeah- I'd meant for it to be publicly posted ages ago, but it's under consideration for the inaugural issue of a new online journal focused exclusively on fanfiction. It's being done by volunteers (of which I'm one, now), so as you can imagine, while there is much enthusiasm, it's been a bit slow getting it off the ground. Regardless, once Lumos is over, I think I'll be posting my paper everywhere. I'll email it to you individually.

And yes, I'm sure I won't be nearly as nervous once I get there. Right now I'm a bit overwrought with RL stuff which exacerbates my dread. Plus I haven't flown in ages, and while I'm not really worried, my imagination does tend to get away with me. :(

{{hugs}}

"All will be well, and all will be well, and all manner of things will be well!"

Yay! I'm getting excited!

I'll be collecting cell phone numbers and such right before we leave...if not, I'll lose them. :)

Excellent! Can't wait to meet you! :D

Lumos, and how to find me!
