It's already mid-March! Oddly, even with all of the Pyramids Press staff taking breaks from fanzines this year, a part of me still stresses over preparing for Mediawest*Con 2010.

In honor of the upcoming con, aka "the biggest family/friend reunion" this side of the Mississippi, I've posted some unofficial guidelines for May...

Nostalgic MWC Quote of The Day:
From PINKY AND THE BRAIN

BRAIN: We're going to a place where the sun never sets, the size of your wallet matters, and actors and actresses slave all day!
PINKY: We're going to Denny's?!

So, in MWC29, we did a panel. Two actually. (Eek) I really enjoyed these panels as we got some really good fic recs from it. My partner-in-crime, myfieldnotes compiled the list. We did a SPN one too which will be up in a few days. Feel free to add new ones in the comments, anything with a good strong H/C to it. Gen if you please because there's a lot of good slash recs out there already, but hardly any gen and adding to our list would be great.

No one leaves Mediawest exactly the same. You always find yoursself with that extra list of things to watch/read/drool over. It's a metamorphosis a fan goes through in seemingly innocuous Lansing, MI. I blame all for my new fandoms in Mediawest and me for even listening...LOL

Because Mediawest wasn't just about fanfic. It was about...well...the media, in this case, television. Name dropping, episode exchanging was the name of the game in Mediawest. Business as usual and a heck of a lot of fun sharing the best a show has to offer. You get to relive that feeling of discovering your show.

-cringe- I know, I know. I meant to post daily all the wonderfulness of MWC. In typical MWC, I got sucked into conversations, vids, fic ideas, zines, panels and--what do you mean it's Monday, already?! I'll do my best to do a few followup reports. I wanted to post questions here that popped up during Mediawest because conversation, fanfic and friendship was what this con was all about.

And Tim Tams. LOL

The first unofficial day of MWC. Three more times of packing and repack and just upped Apple's third fiscal quarter by spending $50 worth of iTunes gift cards loading up my iPod in a fit of downloads. LOL

First post 19 hours prior to MWC's unofficial start on Thursday. Everyone starts trickling in to visit friends, meet up and make new ones.

Sadly, for many reasons, some of our MWC friends can't make the reunion this year so I'm posting as much as I can to here with reports, psuedo panels so they can all still participate.

Mediawest encompasses all media from movies, tv, to books so welcome! Whether you're in MWC right now, couldn't make it, or just curious about it, feel free to join in on discussions here as each eMWC is posted. LJ registration is not necessary to comment here, but please note: watch your language and trolls here. :)

( e.MWC Panel 1 )

Sadly, I didn't have a chance to make any door decorations so for this e.MWC for all youu out there, I'm putting up the old magazine spoof covers I made for our door years ago. They were a lot of fun to make. Mind you, the fonts aren't exact...
