I have a pile of work to do today (for yesterday was not good, except when my oldest friend turned up and we chatted) abut I had to detour via the second Flycon guest chat that Sharyn's put up. It's so appropriate for WHM (now, alas, over). Like much of Flycon, it's almost all (maybe it *is* all) women. People appeared and disappeared depending on the various household crises and work calls as much as according to what timezone they were in. Some people chose anonymity or their LJ aliases. The topics ranged from which bits of the Alexiad ought to appear in SF to were-wombats. It's worth a look: http://www.eneitpress.com/news.php?news=116

In fact, all of the WHM transcripts are worth checking out (and I don't appear as much as I do in these first two - my appearance is, in fact, due to me being the emergency chair when the chair didn't turn up, and we had quite a lot of crises happening to chairs which meant that I didn't get much sleep at all during Flycon). There are still some up at SFF.net. Sharyn's putting up quite a few (as she gets time) and I'm hoping that AWriterGoesOnaJourney has the rest, but they're not online. Sharyn has the live chats, though, so we have, I think, all of them (Monissa and Pat recorded all the sessions for us). It'll be interesting to see if the whole of FLycon was as much a convention for women as it looks and as I remember - it may, however, be only those sessions.

I'd better get on with the rest of today. If I can demolish a heap of work, maybe it won't matter that it's a high pain day. I have a special teat this afternoon - my god-daughter is coming to visit! She heard that her mother was staying with me overnight during the Folk Festival and she wants to see me too. I only get to see L a couple of times a year, so this is a very, very special thing and I think I shall make her matzah latkes. I might let her parents eat some, too...
