wait, WHAT?!

Oh Gods, the only guests confirmed for Ring*Con this year are Twilight people (except for one lovely Newzealandish lady, who has, however, been to the Con three or four times before).

*sighs* Well, I suppose this is the year where I have to do what I told the people who didn't like Pirates of the Caribbean two years ago, or Harry Potter last year: Just go to the panels you care for and let the fans of the "other" fandom have their fun even if you don't understand it.
At least the Alice and the Laurent are hot.
And hope that some LotR guys who played more than "third elf on the left in the second row" show up. Because although I like PotC and HP, some actual guests from the original fandom that helped build Ring*Con would be kinda nice.

Good thing I won my ticket for this year, because so far I wouldn't have bought one. >_>

And good grief, why can people not offer differing opinions on the forums without being sniped at for "bitching"? Forums are for discussion, Erudamnit.

The worst thing is that I can see both sides of the argument, and thus keep explaining them to the ones who didn't get them. Not sure yet whether or not it helps. It feels odd, though; diplomacy is not usually my job. I have done more face-saving in the past few days than I normally would in a year. Next thing is probably keigo...

Wondering whether I should attend the Pirates' Gathering. It sounds kind of like the Middle-earth Festival, only for the Pirates fandom. Which would be a good thing.
