(no subject)

I and Cam are planning our Aussiecon trip and need to decide who much stuff we want to do in Melbourne other than the con. My main plan is to meet up with people in my hotel (which will be near the convention centre) before the con and I'd like to know roughly how many different people will have to be fitted in.

Pixelpost: Best husband ever

This is pretty much the conversation I had with Cam after reading the discussion around the comic Good fourth walls make good neighbor (where a fanfic writers partner freaks out at the idea of Sam/Dean slash after seeing the slasher character on Supernatural)

Except during the pause in panel 2 I added "Aside from laughing" :)

nb I have no interest in writing Echo/Priya. I do think Faith/Ruby has potential though.

I don't mean to minimise the experience of women who are forced to keep this sort of thing secret from their partners (or families or whatever) When I was working with kids I had paranoid fears that the fact that I was in fanfic fandom and thus in the general vicinity of what counts as child porn by Australian law (despite being heavily squicked by it and avoiding it as much as possible) would make me lose my working with children check.

Transcript:
Me: Honey, how would you feel if you found out I write Sam and Dean porn?

Cam: *Looks shocked and thoughtful*

Cam: But you hate Sam and Dean

Me: I love you

Cam: Now Echo and Priya, that I can see you writing

DM of the rings

Oops. This was meant to be to fancomiccentral

Series: Lord of the Rings
Story By: Shamus Young

Rating: PG
Complete? Yes
Found At: Twenty Sided

Description: Lord of the Rings as a roleplaying campaign.

Comments: I don't roleplay, but have spent enough time around roleplayers that I found this really enjoyable. All the injokes are explained in the notes, and the contrast between the players just wanting to kill things and the DM wanting to go through his huge overcomplicated backstory was very amusing.
