June Something - Day 3

Day 3: What's a favorite, or at least memorable fandom meeting/interaction that you've had?

I have a lot of really great fandom meetings in my past. I think the very first one was my Buffy the Vampire slayer group. We all went out to California to hang out, it was a real blast. We stayed at Jenn's place and later Jo and I got together in London and just. There were a bunch of great people and I remember very little of it distinctly now (it's been 26 years holy shit), but I absolutely remember how right it felt.

I learned about LJ and fandom at WisCon

in 2006, and it was magic to have all the excellent infrastructure to just waltz right in to. While the initial WisCons were snobbish about media, that's been changing every year. Even when we were virtual last week, the magic elves made a four hour vid show

Ah, that's awesome! Back in the day I thought wistfully of going to WisCon but then I moved to Baltimore and my local con was con.txt which I still fucking adore (and is coming up here virtually soon!). But now that I'm back home, I should look into it again. Thanks for the link!
