valarltd | MidSouth Con Friday Report: or why Angel is too fraggin old for Rocky Horror

I dtropped Bunny at the Aud for her performance, and laced her into her costume and took pictures.

Then I went to the con. I got in about 6:15, which gave me 45 minutes to work the layout before my panel.

They made me run the panel on Paranormal Romance and Erotica. We talked about a lot of things, including where to publish (I got some leads if I ever get abck to het), some of the pitfalls, and how not to start a story. A first page sex scene with a werewolf in wolf shape is right up there.

Then I made a quick change from black velvet jumpsuit and horns into two tunics and a bag hat for the opening ceremonies. Those were quite fun. I met The Great Luke Ski quite by accident.

jkb, I told him he'd come highly recommended by a friend in Michigan.

The premise was we were holding Baronial court and Esther Freisner paid us a visit as a visiting monarch. She was escorted by her Cavalier guard and...Stormtroopers?
She announced she was a prisoner, and we freed her in the time honored fashion: rock, paper scissors.
When they lost to our paper, the leader of the 501st announced "Rock paper Blaster!" We informed him it wasn't period and wouldn't work. Then, Queen Esther free, The Great Luke Ski favored us with "Viva Las Nagus." (And

zeronine09 danced with me)

Then I had to change back into the jumpsuit for the "Meet the Guests" party. I wound up back with the Paranormal Erotica panel ladies. They're great fun. And a few guys triwed joining us, but we scared 3 off before we decided to go to the How Not to Get Published Panel. I went for open filking.

Then it was time for "Whose Line" which was great fun.

And then Rocky Horror I haven't done that in a decade, and some of the responses have changed. And "Frankie goes Natalie Wood" went over EVERYONE'S heads. But th Time warp is still a hoot.

Must get some sleep. Still on Con high.

I have to sew the neckline and hem of the galadriel costume, and braid Bunny's hair. Hope she found her Slytherin Blouse.
