It's always so weird coming back from Gallifrey. It's only been a few days since I got home (or it was when I started writing this post *ahem*), but the convention seems like a whole other world. And re-entry into Real Life is tricky, and quite a hit emotionally. But it's always worth it. And…
Conventions
Thoughtbubble
So this weekend was the wonderful Thoughtbubble convention. It takes place in Harrogate and is a marvellous event with hundreds of comics creators, and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere. It's also v welcoming if you know sod all about comics (I don't anymore! I def know a little bit! But when I first went this was…
Gallifrey 2020
Oh, I've been meaning to do a Gally (Gallifrey One, the greatest Doctor Who convention in the world) report for, uh, two months now? A long time anyway. In my head it was a beautiful thing, detailed, and effervescent and lengthy. I think I'm going to manage one of those things. For this post will…
To Gallifrey One!
A I type I keep glancing up at the window to make sure the land hasn't been covered in a sheet of white. Storm Ciara has hit the UK and it's a bit, uh, blustery out. And cold. And sleety. And snowy. I'm off to Glasgow later today, where I'm flying from tomorrow, but there's…
Eastercon 2016 Con Report
A timely con report! Well, almost timely. Eastercon, aka Mancunicon, took place pretty early this year, since it takes place (clue in the name) over the Easter weekend. Also, (more name clues) it was in Manchester aka NORTHERER THAN LONDON, YAY. So my travel time from home was delightfully modest.Also, Manchester is a little bit…
Hello, April!
Afternoon, readers! I'm back home after a super lovely Eastercon, which will forever be etched into my memory as THE V FIRST TIME I PLAYED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS. That's going to get a whole blog entry of its very own, just so I can keep all the embarrassing capslock of ridiculous glee to one space.…
Eastercon Schedule

Lost Season 1
February was A Month. By which I mean it was quite busy and great, and also bloody awful and sad. The greatness came muchly from the Gallifrey One convention, which was smashing and while I have The Best of Intentions of writing some manner of conreport, I have met myself and my ability to regularly…
Gallifrey 2016
In a few minutes I'm starting the first leg of my epic journey to Gallifrey One. It's particularly epic this year as thanks to a major bridge being out for at least the next month, and a change in airport, it's become rather more complicated. I would be worried except I actually know where stuff…
Fantasycon loot
Mmm, books. There were many books at Fantasycon, and many freebies, but I was v conscious of the six hour train journey and limited luggage space, so I tried to be strict with self and was less so than I intended but never mind. Books! (Also, cons that give out canvas tote bags with the…
