I'm skiving off to Belfast for a weekend of playing computer games (I *will* crack Eternal Darkness!) so, zortified, my Riley/Xander fic for the CYA ficathon for you's going to be late...

Swerving off topic, talking about feedback and probably getting Gwyneth Paltrow-ish:

I suck at replying to feedback. I'm diligent about replying to email feedback, but when it's LJ comments I feel silly saying "thank you!" every time. I'm going to try to be better at it, but I've been meaning to say for ages: if you've ever taken the time to leave me feedback, of any kind, thank you. To steal the wisdom of Mr. Marsters, y'all rawk.

Also, if you've ever written a ficathon entry for me and I didn't comment, I haven't seen it. I try to be good about checking the masterlists, but I've inevitably missed some of them, especially when my own entry's been late. If you wrote something for me and didn't get a response, let me know? I'll feel incredibly guilty and leave you nice feedback *g*

By the way, when are we having Writercon: UK? ;-)

ETA: ooh, and I have AIM again. My screenname's doylesb4.

Writercon UK?

If I had fair warning to save up and it was in the North West and near a hospital and well, basically if it was in Manchester ( NI>Manc is cheeeap flight, about twenty quid) I would be so up for that it's untrue. I would drag my agoraphobic arse out of the house for that. I would love to go to that. How many, roughly, writers are there based in the UK?

alternatively, there is a slashcon happening in October in Tynemouth

Indeed there is, and I wish I could go, but I'm back at uni in October and since first semester's my research project I wouldn't have time to go, even if I could afford it *mopes*

But a Writercon would, I assume, include non-slash writers? Smiling at your icon: K/S was my first fandom: but in the Buffyverse I only write a smidgeon of slash. Got a slight feeling that Writercon Vegas was pretty slash-dominated: would the rest of us get a look-in, too?

Dunno, I'm not going, I just thought it might be handy to drop the info into this thread. I suspect, though don't quote me on this, that the more het or gen writers that participate, the less slash dominated things will be. I'm just sayin' *g*

I write all sorts, slash, het and gen. I just think the icon is funny.
