For writers AND readers

[essayel]

We've got the dates now for the second annual meeting for fans and writers of MM / FF, GLBT fiction.

July 23rd in Milton Keynes.

I'm going because, although I may never be a proper author myself, I want to give a big cheer for those people who have the commitment to finish a novel, the ability to see that it is good, and the sheer maasive cojones to put it out there for everyone to read. Also some of them will have copies of their books with them and book shopping is about my favourite thing.

Anyone else going? Anyone want to join an aging fangirl in Milton Keynes? It'll be fun!

I want to go - the one in Ely was great fun. But I can't justify a hotel room, really, so I could only go for the day, and that will depend on the car still being alive...

Oh I hope you make it!!

I have a working car but sadly not the nerve to drive it to Milton Keynes. Isn't there anyone coming from your neck of the woods? Surely there are some London based authors making the trip?

Hi, I'm driving up from London is you get in a fix. I may have another passenger (still to be confirmed), but the car is comfy enough to fit us all in, I hope :). Email me nearer the time if you get stuck but still want to go, it'd be great to see you again.

And essayel, it'll be great to meet you! :):)

:D I was so upset I had to miss last years. I'm determined to get there and be properly appreciative this time.

Well, I won't know until the beginning of July (I think) whether or not the car has passed its MoT! But if it doesn't, I may get in touch...

I'll be there (probably)! Don't know if I can justify the hotel (not two nights, certainly), but I'll be there for the day at least :)

Oh brilliant!

Hmmm, am I unreasonably excited about this?

No, I don't think so.

[mylodon.livejournal.com]

I'll be there! Looking forward to seeing the both of you. Will have more rugby books to give you by then, assuming don't see you in the interrim.

Sal - weer in yur journal, gossing.

Goss away m'dearios!

It'll be such fun to put names to faces. I'll be the one hanging round nervously at the back because I'm not nearly as chopsy IRL as I am online.

Oh that would be brilliant!

Also to see your [real or pen] name on Amazon! Let me know when it comes out, won't you!
