Guess Who's Coming to Everfree · 10:48pm Feb 25th, 2015
That's right, ponies. I've decided the time has finally come to emerge from my hermitage and meet my readers face-to-skull. It's official and everything: Look here and scroll past the famous people, and there I am.
I held off on taking this journey until now, because previously I wasn't in the right mind to make a good impression.[1] Not to mention, I didn't know what would happen if I met a hater in person. But I think enough time has passed. You can't keep hating someone for years and years; it's too exhausting.
That said, if I do end up meeting one, hopefully it will just go something like this:
How, you may ask, will you recognize me?
I'll be wearing this:
I'm very much looking forward to proper introductions. So, who among you can I expect to see there?
___
[1]Also, I had nothing to wear. A custom-made "I eat ponies" shirt is only funny once.
MEEEE! (Though I still haven't read any of your stories 'cause I'm a scaredy pone.
)
Also, nice jacket. You don't happen to sing, do you?

Unfortunately, my name is what I get when I try.
Oh, cool! I really hope I can make it this year. I staffed EFNW last year, but in between burnout, a tight job situation, and a possibly impending move, I genuinely have no idea what my summer plans look like …
Well, maybe I'll finally get to meet the master of FimFiction grimdark, then.
Alice Cooper has the right attitude there.
Sam the Eagle is such a wonderful character.

Que sera, sera. Worse comes to worst, there's always next year.

I could almost say the same thing back. Your Smarty Pants story scared the hell out of me.
This would happen the year I'm probably not going to be able to make it. Dammmit.

Not the story, perhaps. But the ensuing flame war was not my finest moment. I still cringe to think of it.

Seems to be a common thing this year. But there's always 2016! And I'll cross my fingers for you, given how important these events are for professional fans.
That jacket is the symbol of rock and metal everywhere.
Well, that shirt isn't subtle enough, I don't think.
Surely you can add a few more patches.

I'd make the jacket disappear under the patches if I could, but I couldn't get patches for all the bands I like. Then again, if I could, I'd need a trench coat.

I wasn't aware that Tim Burton's Batman was a band...
2831908
Well, Batman does make music, you know...
2832161
You know what?
I stand corrected.
And this just reminded me that there was that one musical episode of Batman: Brave and the Bold with Neil Patrick Harris. That counts too, right?
2832195
It does now! Especially since I'm sure you won't be the only one to point out that particular patch.
2832204
Well, I hope you have fun, though!
I'd love to go to a con one of these days, but unless I can afford a 3 thousand dollar plane ticket and hotel deal, it's gonna be unlikely.
You're gonna have a blast for sure. Buy tons of loot, and meet loads of fab people, and remember, if someone tries to touch you in a place and in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, THAT'S NO GOOD.
I'd love to go to EFNW, but in my con schedule it has to occupy slot #3 for being across the country and thus there will be the 'Can I get time off?' question. If I can? I'll totally go to this.
This'll be my third year at EFNW, and second year on staff. I'm second-in-command of the writing track there, so I'll basically be in/running/at all the writing related events and panels for most of the con. See ya there!

Haha, I'll try not to get in your way then.
