And you, my pretty? is yours in? *is very curious to know which it is, if so...*

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

*is completely ashamed* Uh, nope. Am useless there.

[idlerat.livejournal.com]

Send! Do! You'd be perfect.

Is there going to be a panel on snarking?

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

LOL! There really should be. I can see it now, with flow charts and exercises...

Already have submitted (a panel). In fact, I thought it had been accepted, but it's not listed on the accepted proposals page. *shrugs*

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

Hmm...that's weird. Did you register? I think if you have an accepted proposal and haven't registered it doesn't go up until you register.

[cursive.livejournal.com]

Ah. I sent it to the office staff to do, I'm not sure if they have yet. That's probably it.

A question from a complete stranger,

I've been toying with the idea of submitting a proposal for TWH- already have the paper mapped in my mind. Problem I have is anonymity- which we guard online, but with an event where you present papers, I'm a bit apprehensive. Especially if you're part of the fandom, but want to submit on the academic panel. Do you send under your real name? (Do they require that? and your academic affiliation etc.?) Or is it acceptable to send under your Fandom name, with blah blah candidate, blah blah University, on it?

I'd really appreciate advice here. (Damn, and this is the week I deleted my journal, so can't use that forum.)

I sent under university. I figure that there will be enough people there that discerning academic-me from fandom-me, when fandom-me is pretty unknown anyway, wouldn't be easy.

I care about anonymity too, but I'm just going as academic-me. Fandom-me can't go... except for people who are my friends online.

Hi--I checked this out and yes, they can use a different name for you. They ask everyone if they'd prefer that they use a different name for them in the program and on the site. You can submit under your alias.:-)

aw, shoot.... now I really have no excuse not to...
:D

Well, one day of making up silly academic things for the sake of fandom. haha. Though judging the tone will be a tough one - don't want to be the dork who gave a boring pedantic paper, and not want to be completly academically unsound. But first things first. The proposal!

Hi, I've been reading your entries every once in a while, and I really like the way you write about writing and characters and HP; for some reason, it didn't occur to me to friend you until now. I hope it's okay.

Thanks! You sound just like me on friending.:-)
