Same. Our coach doesn't leave until 11:45, so is there any plans for Whovians who haven't got hotels to be able to watch the finale? Or should we just find wifi and watch it on iPlayer?

Yep, I do, although I warn you, the quality is even worse in large size! If you don't mind posting your email address (put the @ in brackets so the spambots can't recognize it), I'll send it to you. I'd PM you, but PMs are disabled on here, sorry. And yes, I think that was the Karen/Arthur spark question - I don't remember her laughing quite so hard at anything else! Oh my god, thank you. Um, keverdeens(@)gmail.com. That Karen/Arthur spark question. I love whoever asked it. <333333

Oh my god, I want to meet him so bad. He is a perfect human being and would be an absolutely amazing guest.

Oh my god, that second Karen picture. I love it so much. Have you got it in the original size? It's amazing. She's so genuinely happy in it. <33333 I wonder what question that was for, I'm hoping it was for the Karen/Arthur rl spark one. I absolutely loved her reaction. <33333

I'm sorry, but then you need to tell Showmasters where those are, so they can ask the posters to take the videos down. The rule is no recording by the audience of any of the panels/anything else that takes place on stage, and this applies to all SM/Massive Events shows. Pictures (without flash, other than the first few minutes) are fine, video is not. Mods, I'm trying to help, and not step any of your toes... Oh, I'm sorry, I don't actually know where I found it. My friend sent me a link, and I watched it while I was still in London, so, not on my computer. I just know they exist somewhere on youtube. I don't even remember what they were called to find them again. Sorry. :/

I'd be happy with even just select bits being made available. Like Karen talking about all of Rory's deaths. Her answer was perfect. I did find one video online somewhere of the talk, but it was too far back to see her, and there's no fun if you can't see her and her prettiness.

But in the other (now locked thread), you were complaining no-one wanted to hear 'rehashed' questions and that you didnt pay money to sit through people asking things? Bit of a contradiction isnt it? What is your problem with me, that you have to come into another thread and be mean to me? What I meant was I didn't pay to see questions, I just paid to see her. The questions were a bonus. There is a difference between me wanting footage of a q&a that I was at to keep as a memory forever, especially one which has footage of her hugging me and me watching a youtube video of some random interview I've seen ten times already. You were the reason I wanted the other thread to be closed, so you would just go away and get over it. Please, just stop. You are not helping your argument as you haven't given me a single reason why I should respect you. I said sorry, now go away and leave this thread alone.

I think it would be best if you did lock it. I tried to apologise, but no one seemed to like that, and people were still complaining about me. So yeah, I had a bitchy moment cause I got fed up of it all. I'm sorry for that as well. I really wasn't trying to annoy anyone on the day, but some people seem to be treating this like I attacked them personally. Can we all just please move on from this. It was two days ago. People shouldn't still be upset about this. I will respect you and what you wanted from the talk, as long as you respect me and what I wanted. I really didn't mean to cause trouble.

Oh, I wouldn't actually do that. I'm not that mean. But my apology didn't seem to do anything for them, so I thought I'd play up to their opinion of me being a selfish bitch. At least their replies are entertaining?

2 or 3 seconds?? Maybe for the act itself, but you've got the rest too. First the person asks for the hug. Then they have to get from their seat, past other people, into the aisle, and down to the stage. Then the act of hugging itself. Then theres a pause as Karen (or whoever else) gets back onto the stage and composes themselves again to carry on. In some cases, we then have to wait for the person who asked to get back to their seat before the next questions asked due to the disruption. So overall, it takes a few mins, which IS time that another question could have been asked! As for the end of your post, YES, that would have been MORE fun listening to her answering a question, rather than seeing someone endulge in their own whim. Okay, at first I was sorry for doing it, but now, you're just all too rude for me to care about annoying you. In fact, the way you're bitching about me, if I had the chance I'd do it again just to **** you all off. I was at the end of like the third row. It didn't take long at all. And if you think I'm 'selfish' for wanting a hug, then I have the right to think you're selfish for wanting it to go exactly the way you wanted. Not everyone wanted 45 minutes of rehashed questions. As a proper Karen fan, I've seen/read all her interviews and seen her answer the same questions millions of times. I didn't pay £20 to sit through a q&a and have idiots ask her questions that they just could have googled the answers for. I wanted this q&a to be unique since it was her first convention, so I made sure that happened at the beginning, by asking for a hug. The question alone would have been enough for me if the microphone hadn't made me so stage-struck. But, I've been looking at the picture thread and I'm guessing from all the pictures posted that the average user here is a middle aged man. I'm a teenage girl. Please, grow up and get over it, because at most it took like 2 minutes and you still got the rest of the talk for your precious questions. And for anyone who feels like they missed out on a bit of valuable question time, I will direct you here.

I'm not talking to you, you've been fine. I was talking to other people, to let them know. I would have gotten a hug in the photoshoot, but I was too rushed to ask for one.

Oh, I didn't mean you. You've been calm and respectful, I just meant the people calling me selfish, they were the ones that made me cry. I swear in the future I will be more respectful, of other people, but I'm just asking you all to do the same for people like me. Next time you go to a Q&A with someone like Karen, take it as granted that someone like me will be there wanting something personal. Just accept it and move on and don't get upset. This respect thing should work both ways.

Thank you. I know all my friends went to see Karen, and all the people I met on the day seemed to too. You can get information from other places, but there are rarely many chances to see her in person. That's what the day was to a lot of people. To just see her. We didn't need to ask her a bunch of questions, we just needed to see her pretty in the flesh. I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone, and I'll try to remember the 'rules' for the next convention I go to, but anyone getting annoyed should keep in mind that with certain guests, like Karen, there will always be people like me. She isn't known for being serious and detailed, she's known for being a wonderful, perfect human being. I know all her fans on tumblr would have felt the same as me. That it is worth the money just to be in her presence. You can't dictate what other people do. I get it, you paid your money, and didn't appreciate what I did at all. But next time KGills turns up at a convention, even though I won't ask her for a hug again, if someone else can get away with it they will. This is just going to be what happens with guests like this. Teenage girls like me are going to go and they will just want to see Karen. Not every wanted the same thing out of the talk, can we just please accept that? I've apologised and said I won't do it again, so can we please just move on? And by the way, to everyone saying I annoyed the 500 other people, I know I didn't annoy as many people as you are suggesting. All my friends thought I was lucky, and the people I talked to in the queues just said I was lucky/they were jealous. I think it was obvious that with the requests she got and questions she got asked, that not everyone was there for the same reason as you. Not everyone will be pissed at the hug. The whole of Saturday made my year, cause I got to meet someone I idolised. I wanted to come onto this forum and be happy and say how wonderful everything was, and just fangirl a bit with everyone else who met Karen. But then I saw people's reactions and they had me in tears. I just thought I was asking a question a lot of people would have asked, and I didn't know it would annoy some people so much. I'm really sorry. And sorry for the long post.

Sorry you feel disappointed by that. I'm sure there would be nothing preventing you from taking your own pen in future - one that you know will work fine on your item - and ask the person to use that. oddly the black pens were the opposite and a little thin, almost like they were running out. Unless she just has a very light touch when writing her name. yeah, I took my own pen and asked her to use that and it worked fine. although it does look like she has a light touch, which considering how many autographs she signed that day, i don't blame her if her hand hardly touched the paper. :)

oh, i'm not shifting the blame. i'm just annoyed at my sister for jumping in on my question/hug and then being the one to be photographed with karen. i think it's just a bit of sibling rivalry to be honest
