Wrockstock, w00t!

Last night I posted about the upcoming Wrockstock, a wizard rock festival and Harry Potter weekend event to be held outside of St. Louis, Missouri, October 26-28. There are a group of us who are planning to go and we're going to rent a cabin just for slashers. I think it holds 10 or twelve at the most, so if you're interested in joining us, go HERE to comment. If there are more than 12 people, I'm sure we could look into organizing another cabin!

Oh, a weekend of slashy HP fun and wizard rock! I can't wait!

Slashcast episode 19

slashcast episode 19 is posted HERE. It features interviews with Prophecy attendees, a GLBT news segment from phaballa, a Fandom opinion on DH by jedirita, and a meta chat about the future of fandom on LJ with elaboration, gmth, furiosity, and mijan.

A few things

• FWIW, I'm probably not going to be crossposting to GJ anymore. LJ is still my main journal and the main place I'll watch my flist, and I'm cross-posting some (public only) content to IJ at ths point. I'm going to wait and see what the fandom does over the next couple of months before I make a shift. You can find me at IJ under this same user name. I'm not thrilled with the idea of fandom relocating, and despite the asshattery of LJ, I can't help but hope it won't happen. But if the fandom goes, I will too. *sigh*

• I just spent about an hour friending as many people as I could on IJ. I'm sure there are still a lot of people I have friended on LJ that I haven't found on IJ yet, but I'm slowly catching up. It was hard not not notice that many people I've had mutually friended for years haven't friended me there. I'm usually not that concerned about such things, but still. Meep.

• I think some of you have done this already, but you know those new Pepsi-sponsored free v-gifts LJ is making available? Lots of folks have been sending them to news with a message letting them know exactly what they think. You can see all the v-gifts news has gotten here. If you want to send your own message, go here and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Again, it's free (advertising). Gee, I guess now we know why LJ went on an anti-porn spree -- they had to "clean up" the place for their new big corporate sponsor. God, I miss the old days.

Happy Saturday!
