mrwubblesWell, it's hard to believe but it's almost mid-February and like the primaries/elections, Mediawest is edging around the corner. Am I ready?

Of course not!

Seriously, folks, where did the time go? And in case you were wondering, I happened upon the MW28 site and saw a couple of deadlines I think needs spreading around. I came upon this by pure accident.
PR1 : not yet, so no panic
Hotel: not yet either, but I'll panic about this one because I was going to be a dealer here!
FanQ: not yet although seriously? Participation was abysmal and, from writers I got to speak to, a good reason why many fics never see a printer's shop any more. Sad enough some feel neglected because of lack of feedback, but FanQ (which could have come across for them as feedback even as a nomination) has widdle down to barely a few dozen. I remember when I first attended FanQ (7 years ago only), it was standing room only. Now? :(
Can fanzines be registered as an endangered species? LOL
Panels: Topic suggestions Jan 1-Feb 29 - now's the chance if there are panels you want on the program. Signing up starts March 1.
Party Room: Feb 15 to April 15
I'll post more when I find out because we are getting close and not a single PR yet.
As for Brotherhood, looks like both issues will top 300+ pages, whoo hoo!

Date: 2008-02-13 11:41 pm (UTC)They very well could be! A lot of zine publishers do the online/downloadable thing nowadays. Frankly, I don't consider those zines. 90% of the reason I like a good zine is the "curl up with a book," tactility of the experience. If I wanted to read fanfic on my computer screen, I certainly wouldn't pay for it. ;)
But that's just me.
PS, I'm sure you'll be ready for MW by the time it arrives!
