the better part of me

Phil had way too much fun during that photo shoot. He's always such an attention hog whenever there's a camera around ^,^; He'll be happy that the pictures came out so well!

And that Saturn cosplayer most definitely had glaive envy. One of the times he walked by he couldn't stop staring at it....I could almost see him starting to drool! ^,~ Unlike Shel who was a great Saturn, he was a very scary. Most the times I saw him over the weekend he was walking around with a 5 o'clock shadow! *shudders*

I think the fanfiction panel went alright. Would've liked a bit more discussion and questions about the actual writing of fanfiction (i.e. - what traps/pitfalls not to fall into when writing a fanfic, how to develop good plots and character development, the importance of beta readers/editors/proofreading and making sure there's consistency & story continuity, etc) ....instead of mostly talking about different fandoms. But at least the audience seemed to enjoy themselves and like what was covered during the panel.

The one thing I could have done without, though, was the guy who kept plugging his own fics and fandoms. I felt so bad whenever someone else, including us panelists, wanted to say something and he wouldn't stop talking or interrupted them halfway through whatever they were trying to say.
