Joss, ikke Josh Ja, Serenity er film-fortsettelsen på Firefly, absolutt verdt å sjekke ut. Firefly er yndlingsserien min og serien jeg har vært på flest conventioner for. Ja, akkurat denne conventionen hadde få deltakere, men i min erfaring er mindre conventioner å foretrekke fordi de er mer intime og du får mer tid sammen med gjestene, særlig for denne arrangøren. Og jo mer tid du får sammen med gjestene, jo større sjanse er det for at de husker deg neste gang de kommer Jeg har vært på conventioner av andre størrelser. Den største jeg var på hadde 1700 deltakere og 13 gjester, en del har vært i 600-800 deltakere rangen og så er det de som rangerer fra 200-400 deltakere. Jeg har skrevet for en del forskjellige serier. Jeg begynte med Buffy-fanfiction for ca et tiår siden, men har siden fjernet de fleste av de fra nettet. Jeg føler skrivingen forbedret seg ganger ti når jeg gikk over til andre serier og ble mer opptatt av karakteristikkene til den enkelte karakteren, talemønster, typiske uttrykk, tankegang osv... Jeg har skrevet en del Firefly og Gilmore Girls fanfiction og for tiden går det veldig mye i Private Practice. I tillegg har jeg vært innom Friends, The Tribe, Wonderfalls, Beverly Hills 90210 og Stargate Atlantis (her har jeg skrevet en del mer enn jeg har publisert på nettet). Jeg er en shipper, så mine historier er for det meste sentrert rundt en eller flere romanser (kun fanficen jeg skrev for Wonderfalls som ikke er romanse-sentrert). Innenfor her er jeg glad i å skrive familie-historier og en fusjon mellom drama/komedie. Bildene mine ligger også på facebook, men her har jeg samlet de i noen få albumer og skrevet inn event-detaljer på hvert bilde. Får håpe du finner jobben for deg, da :) Lykke til med jobbjakta. Ja, i dag var en veldig fin dag. Jeg og romkameraten min tok oss en liten vandring rundt i sola og jeg fikk prøve ut de nye fargeskiftende brillene mine :) Kjøpte oss hver vår smoothie og fikk med oss litt av streiketalene på festplassen. Det var en del som deler navn med deg, men klarte å finne ut hvem som var deg ut fra interesser og det faktummet at vi hadde en venn til felles, hehe. På fritiden min går det en del i fandom, se på serier, skrive fanfic, lage fanvideoer, bakgrunner, ikoner, etc. Jeg har noen nettsteder jeg driver med, også. Utenom det så henger jeg sammen med venner, stort sett. Har liksom ikke hatt tid og penger til å ta opp noen aktiviteter ennå, kanskje etter hvert. Hva med deg?

Hehe, takker. Jo dagen var helt okay, ingenting spesielt som hendte, men så gjorde jeg heller ikke så mye ut av den. Ingen av de kan slå 20-årsdagen min, som jeg feiret på min aller første convention, allikavel. Ja, alder er utrolig vanskelig å bedømme på noen, så jeg venter heller til folk forteller meg hvor gamle de er. Dollhouse (promo) er en TV serie laget av Joss Whedon, mannen som står bak seriene Buffy, Angel og Firefly. Jeg har vært en Joss Whedon fan halve livet mitt og har vært på conventioner for hver av seriene hans :) Conventionen jeg var på var den aller første rene Dollhouse conventionen arrangert. Jeg hadde det supert, det var en av de beste conventionene jeg har vært på :) Her er den fra conventionen. Jeg dukker opp i den flere ganger (11 totalt), men her er de fire mest markante: 02:21-02:25 05:57-05:59 08:55-08:56 09:18-09:23 (hvit pysjamas) Jeg skjønner AKKURAT hva du mener. Jeg er kjempeglad i å skrive selv (skriver en del fanfiction for diverse serier) og jeg klarer bare ikke å skrive på norsk. Tror mye har med hvordan muntlig norsk er så forskjellig fra skriftlig norsk og når en skriver dialog, så føles den falsk, fordi det ikke høres rett ut, samtidig kan en ikke skrive dialog, fordi det blir for uoversiktlig, i hvertfall med min dialekt... "K'u si?" "Sku'ut?" lol Med engelsk så trenger man ikke gjøre så mye før man har lagt på et dialekt-preg, samtidig som at det hovedsakelig er grammatisk riktig... Vel, jeg har holdt på med dette i 6 år, nå, så da blir det et visst antall til slutt. Om du er interessert så ligger bildene mine her. Bildene med kjendisene er hovedsakelig proffe bilder tatt på conventioner eller signeringsevents, men blant de er noen enkeltbilder tatt med eget kamera. Helt nederst finner du bildene jeg har tatt på diverse conventioner. Disse er hovedsakelig tatt under Q&A sessioner. Den ligger i svingen oppover mot Lægdene, går ca 2,000 studenter på det fakultetet. Jeg går førsteåret på førskolelærer med vekt på kunstfag, men har planer om å finne meg jobb, siden det er dyrt å studere og jeg trenger virkelig ikke mer studielån enn det jeg har. Om du er lei barnehagelivet kan du alltids prøve å søke litt i helsesektoren, som for eksempel sykehjem, bofellesskap, avlastningsanstalter, etc. Der trenger de allid ringevikarer og helgehjelper. Du finner ikke fulltidsarbeid med det første der, da, om det er det du leter etter. Du finner adressen til siden i beskrivelsen til convention-videoen jeg linket lengre opp. Jeg tror ikke jeg har lov til å nevne eller linke til konkurrenter her, så jeg er litt forsiktig. Jeg bør advare at den arrangøren kommer aldri til å gjøre en Twilight-convention. Det er sjelden han gjør conventioner for serier/konsepter han ikke liker, og han er det totalt motsatte av en Twilight-fan.

Problemet er at det er veldig dyrt å studere der. Hva er det du har lyst å studere? Jeg har en Dollhouse convention om en uke, som vil bli min 14 convention så langt :) Gleder meg, har ikke vært på en siden november. Er bare å skrive meg opp, det :) Jeg fyller 26 på Søndag (84-modell), og har bodd i Bergen i snart 6 år. Jeg går for tiden på HiB på Landås.

Hei, jeg er ikke så veldig aktiv på selve forummet, mest sjekker jeg inn når jeg vet at det er en event jeg har mulighet å dra på. Har hittil vært på to Showmasters events, Collectormania i Milton Keynes sist juni og Collectormania London sist november. Jeg drar til UK et par ganger i året, mest oftest i forbindelse med conventioner arrangert av en konkurrent, jeg er mer glad i selve convention-fenomenet enn signerings-events, for de har en mer intim atmosfære, du ender opp å få mer spesielle øyeblikk med gjestene på den måten, men har jeg muligheten til å kombinere tar jeg gjerne turen innom. Showmasters har en tendens til å få tak i gjester som jeg ikke ville ha møtt på annen måte og det synes jeg er fantastisk :) Jeg ser Bergen har blitt nevnt her. Fantastisk by, hadde det ikke vært for Bergen hadde jeg sikkert villet flyttet til UK. Jeg ergrer meg nokså stadig over alt jeg går glipp av ved å ikke bo i UK, men jeg er blitt for glad i denne byen til å ville flytte noe som helst annet sted.

Speaking for us foreigners, I love it when events take place in London, cause it's easier for me to travel to, I only have to take one single flight and not worry about coaches or trains or anything to take me to the venue. And Olympia was WAY better than the Stadion in MK, man, I've never felt so cold like I did those three days.

Amanda Tapping - really gutted she had to cancel in June Jewel Staite - I'm always up for seeing her again Lauren Graham - She would be amazing if you could get her, I'm a huge fan of Gilmore Girls and she was my favorite Holly Marie Combs - My favorite Halliwell sister, and since we already got Brian "Leo" Krause this year, it's only fair to try bring 'Piper' over as well Gillian Anderson - One word: Scully Jessica Alba - I LOVED her in Dark Angel Gina Torres and/or Alan Tudyk - just because those are the only Firefly cast members I haven't met yet and I would so LOVE to complete the 'collection'. Claudia Black - my other favorite SG-1 character! Yes, huge demands, here, but those are my ultimate big wishes

I'm all for it, I plan to be in London at this time of year, so it's a perfect opportunity to catch whoever is coming to this one, if there are guests I am interested in meeting :)

Also, John Rhys Davies, Robert Englund and Jason Momoa were Photoshoot B so that would have been Danielle; Shannon Doherty and Brian Krause were Photoshoot A so that would have been Malcolm (if you wanted to know exactly who took which ) If you look at my original question you might notice that I did group them according to which area the photos were taken at

170 on photos and autos for me, 85 on autos for my friend and some minor amounts on stuff from dealers.

If it's clear in advance how wide each row is, isn't it possible to take this into account when orders are made for more than one ticket? Like say if you know that it will be in rows of 25 seats, and someone is the 25th buyer, but buys two tickets, then rather than putting one on the first row and the other on the second row, keep them together on the second row and let the next single buyer have the last one on the first row. I've not yet been to a talk at a showmasters event and other events I go to have not had ticket-based seating arrangement, so I have no idea how well my idea would work, but it's just a suggestion...

Weird, I was there on Sunday, too, but when I went to meet Jason I had my friend right next to me snapping pictures while he signed and no one said anything about that not being alright.

I loved his photoshoot and think my picture came out really great!

Just a quick question, who was the photographer for John Rhys Davies, Robert Englund and Jason Momoa, and who was the photographer for Shannon Doherty and Brian Krause? I want to credit them appropriately

My interactions with her were quick, but nice. I went Sunday morning and her queue was open and I was more or less encouraged to go in, cause she had no one up at that moment. I have no issues with her, but I felt the people around her rushed me, both with getting in and with getting out. I was still trying to decide which pictures to get signed for myself and my friend, when I was more or less told to hurry up by whoever was up by the photo table. Maybe it was related to my umbrella accidentally getting a couple of pictures wet, for which I am so incredibly sorry and after leaving the table I realized that I should have offered to pay for them... But I felt rushed to "come to a decision" about the pictures and get to her table. I feel it would've been better if they instead had asked me if I minded letting people past me while I decided, I wouldn't have minded and would have understood perfectly that they needed to keep the queue going. When I got up to her table Shannon was nice and asked about the pronounciation of my friends' name and even pointed out that she thought it was a lovely name. Immediately after she had signed her I was encouraged to leave by her assistant. I wasn't planning on loitering around or anything (just wanted to put my autographs safely into my open folder instead of trying to awkwardly carry all my stuff through the crowds to find a spot where I could take a moment to do that) and there were almost no one behind me at that point, but the way I was so quickly told where to go next made me feel very unwelcome, kinda like "we appreciate your patronage, now get the hell out" kinda thing. Maybe next time the assistant could at least give it a moment to assess whether or not the person is leaving on their own account before telling them where to go. If the queue had been massively busy and it was necessary to get me away to keep the flow I would have understood, but the queue was not busy at that point. Also in the photo session I found my interaction with Shannon to be pleasant. Quick (which is understandable with the amounts of people to get through, I've been to many events and have yet to see a slow photo session), but pleasant. She asked me how I was doing and I said I was good and asked her how she was doing, we posed and then I thanked her and left.

Jeg er ikke ofte inne på forummet siden jeg ikke akkurat er i England så veldig ofte. Vanligvis har jeg venner som gir meg beskjed om folk jeg er fans av dukker opp på events. Siden disse vennene er Britiske har de glemt å informere meg om denne eventen (desverre har jeg arbeidshelg den helga, så jeg hadde uansett ikke kunne kommet, for ikke snakke om at jeg skal være i London uken etter og heldigvis få med meg eventen der). Så jeg lurer på hvor stor sjanse det er for at det kommer flere events som dette i Norden generelt... om det så er Danmark, Norge eller Sverige... hvor sansynelig? For dette er noe jeg kunne tenke meg å dra på.

Last name? And do you have any idea about the photographer in Group B on Saturday (ergo the one who took Rachel's photos)

After working six shifts in the last five days (ergo literally working every day since coming home), with a sore throat and a fever nonetheless, now is finally when I got the time to start scanning my photos. I usually put them up on my facebook and on my own gallery site. However, to give proper credit I would love it if someone could name the photographer in Rachel's session, the photographer who did group A on Saturday and on Sunday. Thank you.

huh, I spotted Harry Potter trading cards, action figures and some other Harry Potter stuff. Did you go see all the dealers?

It was a very good idea. I know me and all my friends all appreciated it when our photos was magically handed to us :)

I remember you. You came on friday? I was there all three days, but I went over to John's table on Friday, so that's correct :)

I want to thank the very nice guy at the photo collection table. I was standing (out of the way) and chatting with my friends, waiting for the crowds to calm down so that I could go over and pick up my photos when someone from the table came and handed them to me. I thought that was really nice of him to do, especially considering I had not in any way asked him to, so whoever you are, thank you.

Yeah, he was really nice. We talked a bit about places to go in Norway :)

Huh, I thought John De Lancie was nice when I went to see him (didn't go to get anything signed, just to pass on a message from a friend of mine who's a big fan).

Then don't get one. You can't have everything you want. You want a way to meet your heroes, but you want a way to get free photos too. If they offered free photos then they'd have to spend less time actually speaking to you and acknowledging your existence. Either get a photoshoot or don't but to expect such a busy guest to do posed photos is IMO unreasonable. Not only the time aspect, but imagine when they have to move in their seat, get up, sit down, get up, sit down, get up, sit down, for in Ben's case, what, 500+? Leonard's 1000+? In the course of a few hours. That's actually physically draining work. I know when I've been a guest assistant for a less busy guest and I keep getting up to take the photos, I don't mind doing it because I like making people happy, but by the end of the day I'm exhausted! And that's a max of maybe 100 photos or less. I want a photo with the guests so I pay for it. It's really that simple. Yes, I agree, I'd like a digital copy, but hey ho. I'm used to *not* having the option of over the counter photos (for understandable reasons) with all the other events I've been to (this weekend was my first showmasters event), so the fact that I got that with some of the guests was a big bonus for me. Actually I'm used to there being a complete camera ban when obtaining autographs (for understandable reasons), so from my point of view I don't understand the photo complaint, especially with this being a free entry event (which none of the other events I've been to have been). The autograph/photo prices were higher than I'm used to, but if I calculate what I usually spend to get entry to an event I ended up spending about the same on photos/autographs with the 6 guests I went for that I would had this been the kind of event I usually go to.
