So what is this DC-Slash Con that Amedia keeps babbling about?

It's an online fan convention that welcomes all sorts of fandoms. (The "DC" in the name is for Washington, DC; this con is a continuation of the in-person ConneXions, whose last incarnation was held for several years in the DC area.) This is the same DC-Slash group that hosts the free online binges that I post about ... er, when I remember.

DC-Slash Con also welcomes people from different parts of the world and strives to provide programming for whatever time zones people are in.

It costs a whopping $15 to sign up and there are scholarships available if that's too much. This Saturday's "binge" will be a tech day for folks who would like help learning to navigate an online convention.

This is the con with pimping slides, so people can pimp their favorite fandoms - and also shows slides with the fandoms from the vid show so viewers could have a chance to recognize the new fandoms they haven't seen before.

If you have any questions, you are very welcome to ask them here!!!

I made a set of these a few years ago and lost them in a computer crash. So I made new ones, because this deliciousness needs to be shared!

I started this drama in November of last year and managed to finish it earlier this month. I watched it purely to see Liu Minting, a.k.a. Tim Minting, better known in Guardian fandom as the adorkable scientist Lin Jing, in a secondary role. I got to see more of him than I expected!

( Screencaps galore! )

The slides I made this year are a mixture of shows I really love and want to introduce to potential new fans, (Guardian and Ancient Detective) and shows that were in the vid show for which we didn't already have slides (all the other ones below).

I'm already starting on slides for DC-Slash Con 2025! The next ones I make will be for Sungkyunkwan Scandal; I had made a set using my old computer and didn't back it up to the external hard drive (oops) ... and then the old computer crashed so hard that it lost files I hadn't even written yet, lol.

I have made two songvids for the upcoming DC-Slash online convention!!! (You can click for more info about the con - the link will open in a new window.)

The convention is July 19-21 and the vid show deadline is July 12, so I actually got my vids in ON TIME!

There's both short, and one of them is to a Wizard Rock song. In other words, they're by me. ;-)

One is for the fandom Tatort Muenster, while the other one is about Gollum. They're premiering at the con, so I can't link to them now. But I am very excited!!!

Chandler was always my favorite character on Friends, with Phoebe running a close second.

I wasn't seriously into the fandom, but I wrote a couple of fics back in the day. In honor of Matthew Perry, I thought I would repost them here in case anyone would find them soothing. They're not connected; each one is a standalone.

This one's from 2010:
Not Kissing Joey
Characters/Pairing: Chandler/Joey
Word Count: 1448
Content Tags: Fluff, First Time, First Kiss
Summary: Chandler is not kissing Joey.


And this one is from 2015:
Lucky for Me
Characters/Pairing: Chandler, Joey, gen or pre-slash
Word Count: 758
Content Tags: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Snow and Ice, Bickering, Coffee
Summary: Joey talks a lot; Chandler is in denial about his feelings. Okay, that's more like stating the premise of the show than describing a story. Let's try again.
Chandler insists that it's totally about the coffee.

The second one has an illo by an artist whose name keeps changing; when they drew and gifted me this it was Your Royal Madjesty and/or drawthelinestoallconstellations, and I'm incredibly grateful:

I had marked the VIDS VIDS VIDS panel as a must-see and I'm so glad I did!!! Airawyn coordinated recommendations from Escapade attendees ahead of time and put together a great selection of vids in terms of time (older and newer vids) and space (Western and Asian fandoms) and feels (deeply sad, laugh-out-loud, and many things in between).
