Escapade 2020

Another successful [personal profile] escapade_team is done. I had a wonderful time at Escapade 2020. Some significant changes for me:
 
1. Because I'm even more invested in MCU than I was before, I got more out of the MCU panels this year.
2. I have a definite plan for fic. Before, I had ideas, but nothing was ever certain. My exact fic plan is to write 10,000 to 20,000-word stories with a bisexual Black Widow as the main character and in coordination with the Marvel stories where she appears.
3. I always had an interest in Marvel movies, but now I'm also into some of the comic books. Thanks to the Escapade attendee (unfortunately, I don't remember her name) who turned me on to Comixology.
4. I managed to pay my admission fee for 2021 at Escapade rather than waiting until later in the year and at the last minute.
5. I got lucky again with the swap table and found a couple of awesome items, including a new Dr. Strange t-shirt with its Marvel tag still on it.
6. I got lucky again with the raffle and won an Orphan Black jacket. I've won something at every Escapade I've attended!

I am so looking forward to attending Escapade 2021. I always take the Southwest Chief train from Chicago to California and back with my best friend [personal profile] ride_4ever. It's so much better than taking the plane, and it's a great way to deal with con-drop after the conference is over. We have approximately three days and two nights on the train to think about things and plan for next year.
 

Well, it's been about seven months since I've written something here. It's unfortunate, but, at my age, I've learned to go with the flow.  I'm a happy person these days because I no longer "fight" life.  
 
Other things have come up in my life.  My political views are changing; I quit writing pro-fiction; I spent my summer at my husband and my summer home in Canada, and now I'm back. 
 
I'm hoping to attend Escapade again, but I'm not going unless my best friend goes. She has a loved one who is ill. Her loved one is her first concern, as it should be. But, thankfully, he's on the mend. So we'll see how it goes. Family comes first for her, and it comes first for me too. But, for now, I'll start back with my movie reviews. I miss writing those.

Well, I'm behind on my movie viewing.  Christmas is fast approaching, and today hubby and I did our annual Christ Crinkle Market shopping.  We always hit up Macy's too for their Frango Mints.  I'll be sure to get another Marvel movie review up next weekend.  

So happy to be attending Escapade again!  Sent in my money for the 2019 con in February!  
I've always been a profic author, and I never thought about fanfic. But my friend of over 20 years, the Due South expert[personal profile] ride_4ever, got me interested in the fanfic world by introducing me to Due South. This past weekend, she took it a step further by introducing me to a fanfic con - escapadecon.net. My hopes while attending this con is that I would find something that would motivate me to get started in fanfic. Although I love watching Due South episodes and the more than hot Paul Gross, nothing I've seen so far inspired me to start writing anything slash related. However, during the Black Panther panel at Escapade 2018 fic author[personal profile] raine, at the end of the panel, mentioned that she would love to see a Black Widow/Nakia femslash. I thought, Wait a minute! I can do that. So this is where it will begin. My first fanfic and first femslash will be Black Widow/Nakia. Although femslash is not as popular as slash, I discovered that there's enough interest in femslash to make it worth my time. (After all, I'm not just writing for myself.) So not only was Escapade 2018 an excellent con to attend for someone who has never written fanfic and who has never attended such a con, the experience helped me to achieve my goal of finding a pairing that would interest me!
