Yaoi Con Day 2

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Most of the day was spent meeting authors and going to panel. The panel on Yaoi in Ebooks hold by Nix Winter was very interesting, in the public there were also Cat Kane (catkane ) and RD Solange. Most of my time I passed in the dealer room making some strange impression when I didn't recognize the author due to her pennames... Anyway, to the MLR Press booth I met Laura Baumbach, James Buchanan (eroticjames ), Jet Mykles (jetm ), Jade Buchanan (jadebuchanan ) and her G.I. Joe Boys..., Ally Blue (ally_blue ), J.L. Langley (jl_langley ) and Kimberly Gardner: they are all a bunch of well-known and very good authors. The next booth was Blind Eye Books, with only four books but with two great authors, Ginn Hale and Astrid Amara: don't miss the work of these two young lady, it's amazing. Not far from them there was the booth of Dreamspinner Press, and here I met Rhianne Aile (rhianne_aile ) and Clare London (claredivatoo ): they had a lot of books and free chocolates... so what not to like? Last but not least was the booth of Torquere Press, hold by Shawn Clements, Julia Talbot (julia_talbot ), Kara Larson (alias K.L. Richardson, karalarson ) and Pluto (alias Kit Zheng, kitzheng ). With Pluto I made my probably bad impression since I confused one of her work with one of Rose Meloche, and I didn't know that she writes as Kit Zheng...

When I was back in my room I had a lot of more books and a lot of beautiful gadgets!

In the pic with Clare London and Rhianne Aile at the Dreamspinner table - the woman in the middle is author Alix Bekins. :) Sadly, I could not be there. I'm glad you got to see some of the Dreamspinner girls!

Pretty amazing to see all these author's photos (^_^).

Love all the ball-joint dolls pics.

Thanks for replying to my question about the program book---I appreciate it.

I wanted that doll on the top soooooo badly. He was gorgeous. But over $600- I still yearn... But I don't buy stuff you have to dust.

It looks like you are having a wonderful time - the pictures of everyone are really great. I'm laughing because I keep checking out the books in the pictures and I have them all. wow.

I might have to steal that picture of me. ;)

Y-Con was a lot of fun! I'm glad I got to meet you, Elisa. Of course, I'm happy to be home now too and on my way to the WeHo bookfair in an hour... ;)

AAARRGGGGH
I'm sure I don't remember you taking those pics of me *blush*...
I'm shy too (honest) and I bravely introduced myself to lots of new people this weekend, but it's really good to catch these photos and find some people whose names I never caught, or I didn't see at all.
It was such fun!

don't worry, it is not common knowledge that i do cover work as pluto. um, though i guess it is now! ahahahaha. i just didn't want my art to outshine my writing or vice versa.

it was really great to meet you. and i don't mind being mixed up for rose, she's incredibly talented. i'm just glad i got the chance to thank you for your review of checkpoint in person :)

it was great to meet you finally! So glad you had a good time, and would it be okay to steal some of the pics for the TQ author list if I credit you?

The second I heard your voice in the Lynn Flewelling talk I turned to my roommate and said, "I bet I know who that is!"

It was so fantastic to meet you in person. You are lovely and sweet and I hope to have the chance to meet you again.
