@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:27 PM) If we didn't do it backwards, it wouldn't be us.  :D
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:23 PM) Pretty much. (I love how backwards we are doing this. Lets not start at the small, eromcons that we know share the audience we target, lets go jump into the single most massive orgy of entertainment hosted by the east coast each year!)
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:21 PM) I know Torquere will give an author goodies to hand out, although they don't do every con.  I'll have to check the list for what cons they do.
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:21 PM) Though I suppose of DC works, we might consider doing the same thing at some romcons. I mean hell, if it worked for 50 Shades... *shudders*
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:20 PM) The Harry Gardner is brilliant especially with an author like JKR who isn't likely to pull out a lawyer at the first sign of fanfic
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:20 PM) Do any of them do DC though? From memory, most booths tend to be actual merchandisers, not publishers.
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:19 PM) MST3K fics are wonderful parodies
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:19 PM) And both
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:19 PM) And as far as the friendly, I'm thinking someone like one of our advertisers.  Some of the publishers do cons or will offer assistance to writers doing a con
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:18 PM) Hmmm ok
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:18 PM) Something like Harry Gardner and The Secret Chamber, where it is clearly Harry Potter fanfiction with a name change, or something along the lines of the MST3K fics?
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:18 PM) I'm more than happy to write a piece making fun of the process of writing fan fiction, publishing it on a site, waiting for reviews, et cetera.  The great drama that is AFF, as it were.
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:16 PM) By parody you mean...?
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:16 PM) Ok. I dont think we do; its not generally that kind of con
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:16 PM) As far as content breakdown, we can include a bit of the original stuff as well as parodies that tweak the art of fanfiction.
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:15 PM) I'd say stack panels unless we have a friendly publisher/author who'll let us split a booth
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:14 PM) and or give away, not sure how we are playing that one. Would we even want to finagle a booth, or just stack some panels with warm bodies?
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:13 PM) yes, we want at least a few print versions to sell
@  foeofthelance : (24 May 2013 - 06:12 PM) All right, and do you have any ideas of how to break it down contentwise? I know it is going to seem weird that we can`t publish any actual fanfiction in a book designed to sell and promote a fanfiction site, but what if we did a semi-parody piece that made it obvious what we were referring to?
@  BronxWench : (24 May 2013 - 06:12 PM) Leprosy.  Two versions:  wet and dry.  Wet's the contagious one.
