And away we go...

przedTomorrow morning I leave for MediaWest, where I'll be enjoying much fannish fun in the company of the usual gang, and the newbies who are brave enough to join our merry band.
I'm on three panels: a Man from U.N.C.L.E. one about the rehabilitation of Napoleon Solo in fanfic; an MI-5 (Spooks) one that I volunteered for on a lark because I love the show; and a Pros one, because I've never sat on a Pros panel before, so what the heck.
I'm also premiering a new U.N.C.L.E. vid (which I'll post here next week, for those who care) as well as showing a few of my older ones.
Oh, and in my zine-writing persona, I've been nominated for a couple of Fan Qs: one for an U.N.C.L.E. story, The Prodigal's Return, and one for a Wild, Wild West story, The Night of the Opium Den. As always, I'm of two minds about the awards, but it is kinda cool to be nominated. (The same two stories are also up for SCREWZ awards, which is also kinda cool.)
I attended my first MW in 1995, and I've been to every one since 1997. Even though the focus isn't on slash, in some ways it's probably my favourite con. The people are great and I love that the U.N.C.L.E. slash and gen fen play nice together. And every year there's more great new people who attend.
Off to finish packing.

Good luck on the awards.

Enjoy the con, seriously I am jealous! I think I had better start saving for an AWAY con soon.
