being smart about porn

Speaking of which, dude, I see you went to the Who cosplay panel. What was that Jack's solution for his coat (not that I can even tell which one that was from your pics)? And yes, you should go to Gallifrey One.

Eventually, I'll post my own rather limited photos which include one really good one of James Marsters, a couple of mediocre ones of GDL, a funny Ten/Rose cosplay moment and some weeping angels. I was lazy with my camera.

There was. On the Young Adult track. It was ostensibly about HP fic, but ranged into Supernatural (about which I know nothing) and Torchwood (which was mostly my fault) a lot.

At one point, someone asked the panelists how we deal meeting the actors who play these characters we've written such dirty things about.

At which point after saying something sensible about how I'm pretty inured to it because a lot of my life involves dealing with actors since I'm one too, I noted that it was very hard for me not to be thinking "mauve panties" all through GDL's first panel.

As you might imagine, things went downhill to hell fast from there.

*laughs*

Mauve panties and... watermelon? lip gloss? That wouldn't be half distracting.

Well the best part was someone was all "I read that fic!" which was pretty funny.

Also funny was I kept being the first person to field questions because the moderator kept passing them down to me. So someone asked about what kinks we like to read. And I said "strangulation" and everyone just sort of stared at me. Other people said nice, broad things like "BDSM" or "MPreg" but no, I said "strangulation" and seemed to appall everyone just slightly.

And not even breathplay - strangulation. That definitely needs the context of "immortal character, mmkay peeps?"

I think I meant to say breath play, but it was after midnight and I'd been awake for 40 hours at that point. Not my finest moment, although the panel overall went really well and was totally hilarious.

Although at one point someone in the audience rec'ed a story I _hate_ after I'd listed all my "oh god, what is wrong with Torchwood fandom" peeves and I had to smile politely.

Har. Dare I ask? (probably not, as this is a public post)

I'll totally tell you, just not here. Email or pm me somewhere.

And now, people who haven't even read the story will be thinking "mauve panties" all through his panels in future.

Wow. I'm really perversely gratified by that. And I hadn't even thought of it before. Ha!

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Dude, perverse gratification is my specialty. XD

And now I remember that mauve is the universally recognized color for danger!
