I'm going to MISTI-con!!

And it's all islandsmoke's fault. doing.

I actually already booked the flight and the con tickets. I am surprised at myself because this is so far out of my comfort zone I am literally shaking with adrenaline right now. But I'm also very excited.

Smoke was kind enough to offer to share her hotel room with me, so I'm staying at the Con hotel too!! Bonus!!

I have watched a few videos on YouTube recently, and it looks like fun. I hope my anxiety doesn't do me in. I'm usually not good with a bunch of strangers. But I know Smoke will take good care of me, and maybe I'll get to meet some of you guys too, if you're going.

I'm equal parts thrilled and terrified.

But I'm going. EEEEEEEE!!!!

That was my take on the con; one of the most accepting, comfortable places I've been, and I am hideously shy with strangers and in large crowds. But I was comfortable there!

Are you going again? Did you haunt the Snarry Suite? Maybe we've met!

I went to the first two MISTI-cons, but for the past five years I've been going to a writing retreat with friends met through HP fandom.

I was at the second and third, so we might have bumped into each other. Not that I would be likely to remember, alas. No memory for names and faces.

The retreat sounds like fun! I love the people that you can meet through the fandom.

I've made some of my dearest friends through fandom. :)
