I'll be there for the first time, if all goes well. I'm going to a friend's house about 90 minutes early to hook my laptop up there to their DSL, as the university firewall here seems to be blocking the necessary port/s. I think I have the basic idea of how to get on in my mind, and having already had some experience with chat commands similar or identical to IRC ones, I should be fine.

I'm excited--I didn't even know about the Archive until last December, but after reading all the eligible fics and being extremely organized about my nominating/voting, I'm eager to see how it'll all turn out. And just the experience is going to be fun--I've read a transcript of a previous year, but I think it'll be a lot more interesting actually being there! laugh


Don't point. You make holes in the air and the faeries escape.
