Fandom Review of 2017
Jan. 1st, 2018 10:40 pmSo, 2017 came and went. Like a pie in front of Dean Winchester, it vanished in a flash.
From a personal point of view, it was a year of consolidation. Consolidating myself in my new job, and settling into my new work team, who are a fantastic - and very sociable - group of ladies. Dapplegrey Art had one of its best years ever. Despite doing far fewer shows, mainly because of an unprecedented number of date clashes, the shows I did do were really worth doing, both financially and spiritually!
In terms of fandom, it's been another brilliant year. I attended two Supernatural conventions and once again and got tomolest meet J2! One of the highlights of my Spn year was having the privilege of meeting David Haydn-Jones and Adam Fergus (aka the British Men of Letters) at the beginning of their convention journeys, which I don't doubt will be long and successful journeys for both of them. The Spn low this year was the demise of Rogue Events which ended as ignominiously as you might expect for such a chaotic, badly run outfit, and left a large number of people (myself included) heavily out of pocket.
I also went to three general conventions (Sci Fi Weekender, London Film and Comic-Con and Fanfest Heroes and Villains) over the year which were all a blast, and which ended up with me getting a kiss from John Cleese - and how's that for a highlight?
Although my absent muse is still very much on a go-slow, I'm delighted that I managed to write quite a lot more words than I did in 2016, 26,611 compared to 21,613. Whilst it's not a figure to go mad about, it's a decent increase, and I'll happily take what I can get!
