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…

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…
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…
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, ahoy!
I'm off to Fantasycon tomorrow, which is an Exciting Journey that takes me to places of the country I have never been (Nottingham!), and also makes me change trains like fifty times (three, but still). The programme looks rather spiffy, and I shall be contributing a wee part as I'm on a Doctor Who panel…
Back from Nine Worlds
I'm back from Nine Worlds, and still feeling exhausted because my convention recovery rate is about one day at home for every day away. Which is terrible. But I've no idea how to fix it. I have no jet lag! Why is the tiredness still here? Nine Worlds was awesome though. So much going on,…
Ten Days Till Nine Worlds
One of the things I've been most remiss blogging about the last couple of weeks is Nine Worlds (tickets still available!), which is a most fine and excellent convention taking place in London in but ten days time (7-8 August). It's now in it's third year, and is a fabulous weekend of geek shenanigans with…
