dancing_moonToday everyone else were all UPPCON! AHMAGAWD IT'S UPPCON AGAIN!!!
This is the orange elephant in Swedish anime fandom. You plan your cons around it, heck, I'm pretty sure a lot of the anime kids plan their yearly budgets around it... And for the first time in approximately five years, I'm not responsible for anything karaoke-related! Or anything else for that matter, I'm just going there to work at the Nerdy Bookstore's table and have fun in my free time ^_^
But despite being so busy for The Big Con (or moving), several people took the time to fix things for Our Cute Lil' Con recently, which I have just collected and sent to our webmaster.
For instance, my little pet-project at BLYG:
- Ze Lectures!
Yaoi - men vad ÄR det egentligen? / Yaoi 101
(given by me. And My, which really isn't a pun but looks like one in english)
Lesbian schoolgirls and hermaphrodites in space: Queer gender and sexuality in 70s shojomarshtide & her Val
Johnny's som slash-objekt / The slash-fandom of Johnny's Entertainment
Yaoi-manga - av kvinnor, för kvinnor, om män som älskar män / Yaoi manga - by women for women, about men who love men
Ze roundtables!
Boy's Love i mainstream serier / BL in mainstream series
This and the following two are Yuna's. I think he'll do a good job about them, he held an improvised yaoi manga shopping-tip roundtable in the dealers room last time, which was quite entertaining ^^
Finns det verklighetstrogen Boy's Love? / Does realistic BL exist?
Ho-Yay and You - From Stargate Atlantis to Naruto
For info about what Ho-yay is, please visit TVtropes. Or read about it on the BLYG homepage.
Mangademia och fandomstudier / Acafandom and manga studies, basically. This one is with me and Alitna.
Shoppingtips för fujoshi / Shopping tips for fujoshi (rotten girls/yaoi fans)
lanjelin and My tell tall tales about Japan... No, but seriously, they've both been multiple times and know where to find the good stuff
Ze workshops!
+ How to make your own karaoke
+ Pimp my peruk - Cosplay-wig styling
+ Drawing class for BL and shojo-ai
Ze... wait, is there more? YAY
Stuff not yet on the homepage but coming up soon!
Takarazuka-teatern – Japans romantiska drömvärld / Takarazuka-theatre - the romantic dreamworld of Japan
Lecture by a lovely woman who wrote her thesis on Takarazuka. I'm definitely going to be in the audience!
"I wish I was gay and lived in Sweden" - homoromantiken inom lolitakulturen / Homoromanticism within gothic lolita culture
Harry Potter och de vilda slasharna / HP and the wild slashers
Miko-chan and I roundtable Harry Potter. Followed by the wizardrock-band The Swedish Shortsnouts in the café next door ;)
Gotta tell you, I'm pretty psyched and proud. It's gonna be so much fun!
& now off to bed and tomorrow off to Uppsala and the eleventh (my tenth!) UPPCON!!!
