It's CON.TXT Month! (open discussion post)

[trixie]

Are you coming to CON.TXT 2018? Are you as excited as we are? We are hard at work planning the best con we can for you, but we also wanted to give the CON.TXT community a place to check-in, say hi, and start talking about the con. So we're opening this post for you.

If you are coming to CON.TXT, please comment on this post and say hi. Be sure to mention your badge name so people can find you at the con, but also tell us what your current fannish obsessions are, and what you're looking most forward to at CON.TXT. Thinking about having a room party or want to plan a group dinner for people in a particular fandom?  Have a proposal for a DIY panel and want to gauge interest in it? Are you new to CON.TXT or the DC area this year and want to ask some questions? Are you a CON.TXT veteran and want to offer some tips? This is the place to start that conversation!

It has been a rough summer so far and there is a lot of serious and not-fun stuff going on in the world right now. So think of this post as a place where you can take a tiny break from all that and get hyped for CON.TXT, like a pre-con cocktail party. Come share the joy of fandom with us!

If you don't have a Dreamwidth account, that's fine, you can post anonymously, but be sure to tell us your badge name! If you don't want to post here, but want to start talking about CON.TXT on Twitter, please use the hashtag #contxt2018.

We'll be announcing the panels schedule very soon.
