Slash Fiction Day
I can HIGHLY recommend this! ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
alibongo, Rae and I went last year and it was a TOTAL blast! If anyone's thinking of going along, let me know and we can make up a party. Last time, Ali and I really regreted not booking into a b&b or Travel Lodge or something as we really felt we missed out by having to shoot off right after the seminar ended. If we all booked in somewhere, we could go to the pub, post-producton, have dinner and just generally relax and enjoy it a little more.
Anyone up for that?

Incidentally, is anyone thinking of submitting a paper? I'm fairly tempted myself, but I'm horrible when it comes to delivering them. I suffer really bad stage fright. )o:
