    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

    So then, Doctor Who

    Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did

    Bloody Covid

    Fortunately not in the literal sense! But yeah, I'm currently stuck at home, yet not feeling well enough to concentrate on ponyfic. It's a seriously annoying combination. :pinkiesick:

    UK PonyCon report

    This is inelegantly copy/pasted over from the (slightly) nicer looking report over on Louder Yay. Of course, I'm sure you all read Louder Yay anyway because you're such great people, but just in case here's the report here as well...

UK PonyCon 2017 SOLD OUT · 6:44pm Aug 28th, 2017

As it says, this year's UK PonyCon is now entirely out of tickets. With an attendance estimated at around 800, this will be the largest convention in UKPC's 14-iteration history, yet they have still managed to sell out for the third year running. I am looking forward immensely to going to Bristol for this. Maybe I'll see some of you there in October! :yay:

You'll see me there! Actually I'd better get started on booking somewhere to stay and travel and stuff. :twilightoops:

Yay! It's been way too long -- have we even met since BUCK 2014? :applejackconfused:

I don't think we have! :fluttershysad: I remember we did start to organize some little meet-up but I failed to follow up on it because I'm terrible at getting things done. But not this time. I've got the tickets. I'm gonna book a hotel. I'm gonna find out where it actually is.

*checks*

Bristol? Pfff. Easy-peasy. That's like practically walking distance for a train. We shall Do This.

The venue is about 25 minutes' walk from Bristol Parkway, from memory. No hotels on site, though, which is a bit of a pain. There are a couple of Holiday Inns within walking distance, I believe. I, true to form, will be at the Premier Inn on the Filton roundabout. :P

Sweet! :pinkiehappy:

It is! We're doing okay with our corner of the fandom in the UK, which is great. Admittedly the demise of BUCK may have helped, but still. When I first went to UK PonyCon in 2014, attendance was under 400, so it's quite a rise!
