http://celebpics.fics-n-pics.me.uk/lfccscheduler2018.html Yes I'm crew, yes I occasionally pop up here with a mod hat, but this is absolutely not official and just something I've been tinkering with. I will do my best to keep it updated as new versions of the schedule are released, but I have to do the data entry manually (and it's taken from the release until now to get the initial version in, even with my sister helping enter times) Just click the boxes next to your planned activities and it will give you a filtered schedule with just where you need to be. It is sorted according to the advice we give people on here with overlaps - ie go to the event ENDING first - but with long overlaps this might not be accurate depending on your batch number. Red background is the stuff currently missing (taken only from eventbrite listings so may not be 100%), green text is free talks If you have any feedback please let me know (my css and javascript are quite rudimentary so I won't necessarily be able to improve things but I'd still like to know!)

My three photo ops from today - apologies for the quality, photo of a photo n all

Tom Welling auto, he was really lovely and kind about the drawing, meant a lot <3 sorry for bad photo quality! I'll share a pic of the DC t-shirt when it's got some more autographs on it

This is a thank you post, but if anyone does have any other comments remember to phrase them in a constructive manner and don't be mean, remember to be polite and that crew are volunteers, they work under very trying circumstances and many have no customer/retail experience so aren't used to dealing with people in this manner I did 3 days at LFCC again this year and not once did I see any negatives about the crew, everyone I interacted with were polite and friendly, and remained that way even when having to deal with a lot of people who don't understand how events like this work and ask question after question that I would consider silly. Shout out the crew who rushed over to sort out Tennant's tardis shoot today and got everything working properly (no fault of the crew who were there) and back on track. You allowed my to get an awesome photo with David that will quickly become one of my favourites. Thank you to the crew running the sales desk in general and the Manager (My apologies, my brain is fried and I can't remember your name) for coping with grace when a mass of people descended upon them after Tennant's announcement, from what I saw whilst I was there trying to sort out our ticket oopsie you all kept calm despite you all having the same problems we were accessing the tickets, and thank you to the Sales Desk manager in particular for helping @evilfairieand myself sort our Duchovney ticket issue and refunding them with speed and without issue, you helped us go from an enjoyable but stressful day worrying we had massively overspent to being able to forget about it and marvel in the awe of meeting Tennant and Smith in particular. To all the crew who worked LFCC this weekend, from the ones I know, to the ones I see there all the time and everyone else, thank you. These events can't happen without you and you all worked your socks off this weekend. It really is a hard job to do, things go wrong because nothing in life is perfect and a machine as big as LFCC is always going to have issues here and there but you all work to sort it out, to help people with issues, and you put up with some s***ty attitudes whilst you do it. Thank you to the mods, especially those who have been on here when they shouldn't, as they should have been resting and recovering Thank you again to you all for giving us an awesome weekend.

I can still feel this.

Most of my autographs were signing the photoshoots I got which I'll post in the other thread. Continuing my theme from last year some of you may recall: I got Tom Welling to sign my Chris Reeve letter, which he said he would remember for a long time. I had the unexpected bonus of explaining to John Schneider why I asked him about Chris Reeve in his free talk. When I showed him the letter he said he felt humbled and spontaneously posed for photo with it too. He may have died in 2004 but clearly the impact he had on Smallville's cast is still there, much as it is on me nearly 20 years after receiving this. Such was the nature of a brilliant and genuinely good man.

Allo Allo, what’s all this then

So in addition to the egg, I got these as well Added Amber RR and Tennant to this

Won't be able to scan pics properly until tomorrow but this is the picture i have been waiting for... for so long. Finally got to meet David Tennant. This photo means so much to me.

No hugging today, but I did get carried away in a TARDIS.

Quite a few: Tom Welling and John Schneider: both remembering me from different parts of the day during the duo photo op. Tom as I’d just seen him in the autograph queue and got him to sign my Chris Reeve letter, John as I’d asked a question during his talk. Had to go back round again when there was a camera fault and we repeated everything without skipping a beat (shows good memories they have with that level of attention to detail). Then seeing John again later in his autograph queue, seemed truly humbled reading the letter and we traded our Chris Reeve experiences despite not having met him. James Callis: brilliant too as we both think we look awful in photos but ours was surprisingly good, so we both felt smug about it. Jewel Staite: remembered my tweet to her from when she was announced, insanely good memory as that was back in February! She loved our photo too. Rose McIver: see here. Spent more time worrying about me that I was drinking enough as I cannot sweat below my neck... then apologised for channeling my mother! Meatloaf: said I was smart, funny AND a sex god (like him). Well “Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad” I guess...

It feels boring posting the picture of the same thing after every convention but my Game of Thrones poster continues! Although shout-out to Rory McCann for staying in character after signing above Hafthor Bjornsson who plays the Mountain:

For the regulars who had posts disappearing: you have done nothing wrong, I have simply removed the whole posting string caused by one user. It's been explained a number of times, but seeing nobody seems to believe if it's posted by users I will try with an admin account. Maybe that helps. Yes, guests sign contracts before the show. However, guests will only sign certain contracts with certain clauses. If an organiser will not allow them to cancel for work if necessary they will not sign the contract in the first place, and if the organiser puts up a fuzz when a guest has to cancel that news will travel and even more guests won't sign. It is very, very unfortunate to have a high calibre guest like Megan drop out that shortly before the show. Everyone understands those who booked to come to see her are frustrated. But frustration does not give you the rights to write what some users have posted here. We do have guests and agents coming on here. There is no chance any of these posts would be left to stand, and these posts could very well also put off guests from attending a show. We've already banned 4 people - though 2 of these accounts only seem to have signed up trying to cause trouble, so I probably shouldn't count them. There is a certain level where the mods can't work with pre-warnings anymore, StuartG tried that last night and it so did not work. All of these four happily ran over that line at lightning speed. The Terms and Conditions are very clear. If a guest cancels you will be refunded the cost of the guest specific activities, so talk, photo session, Diamond Passes. All other things like entry tickets and Gold Passes are not guest specific and will not be refunded. This is all over the shop and I really do not understand why some people seem to think they should be exempt from that rule because they don't agree with them. Again, I do apologize on behalf of SM to anyone being upset. SM will try to get Megan back, that's for sure. I realize this doesn't help anyone who booked non-refundable travel. But as it's been posted before, everyone on here would have advised not to book non-refundable travel if you are coming for one guest only.

I'm considering giving them all a signed 8x10 of me. As I'm getting one from them, it only seems fair.

I’ve finally done it!!!!

I'm a happy faerie :')

Really happy to have met Fox Mulder today! Such a nice guy :)

Autographs completed today: DC heroes including some Zachary Levi Shazam art Blackadder scroll :)

Posting this on behalf of @smithy270492 and @Raylenth signed by Sam Neill.

So happy for this photo with Sean Young!

Dear SM, Please don't make Wrong Name spend more money. Best Regards Wrong Name's Wallet

I've felt so bad for the mods and community the last few days, they've done all they can to help with people's questions and worries, they don't deserve the entitled attitude of some of the posts I've seen. I have multiple guest cancellations and I can honestly say I'm just as excited to attend the event as I was when I originally booked, plenty of amazing guests and exhibits to see, lovely people to meet from the community and so much to do. Thank you mods and forum posters for the amazing job you're doing sorting all of this and for the Event organisers for doing everything possible to make it an interesting and exciting show, I'm sorry you guys are having to deal with the negativity of a few.

Fancy but 100% unofficial: LFCC 2018 Personal Schedule Maker! Literally tick the things you plan to do and it will filter down the schedule list - red background is the stuff missing right now (according to eventbrite listings), green text means free talk http://celebpics.fics-n-pics.me.uk/lfccscheduler2018.html

Disclaimer This post is going to be really boring. As in 'probably just keep scrolling past it' boring. But this is the only photo I had done at the con and I feel left out not sharing it. It's just me and Iwan Rheon just standing there. No funny or interesting poses or clever use of props. Just me and him with a thumbs up. I also think we look almost mirrored, except I have a few extra pounds on him and I've shaved more recently. But anyway, yeah, my boring photo:

Finished off possibly my most ambitious ever multi project, now signed by every living Doctor...
