There's probably an earlier post about this, so apologies for the duplication, but are there many slashers going to Dimension Jump? Will there be a slashers meet-up at some point over the weekend? I'm so torn about whether to register or not. I know I'll regret it if I don't, but as someone who's a bit quiet and shy I'm terrified of the thought of being sat awkwardly in a corner for a weekend! Anyone feel like talking me into it?!

Well seeing as I'm on the Fan Club Team, I'll certainly be there ;-)

There's a few of the slasher girls from here going - [livejournal.com profile] janamelie, [livejournal.com profile] kronette and [livejournal.com profile] veronica_rich are attending (the latter we bullied into parting with her hard earned cash and coming ;-D). Honestly, I've been by myself before knowing NOBODY and had a fantastic time. It's a very friendly atmosphere, great fun.

I was 17 and had only really spoken to a small handful of people online. Like I said - I loved it! SO many people go on their own - most of the tickets we've processed are single ones.

Yup - I'm going to be working that weekend so shall have pretty big bags under my eyes!

Most people do but certainly not everybody. And to be honest, as long as you're staying fairly close by it won't make much odds. I'd be surprised if the Holiday Inn had sold out already - we've not had any news of that yet.

Get booking! :-)

Good for you! It's going to be a great year with so many slashers there ^__^

As MissFlibble says, barring finance issues, I'll be there with Veronica_Rich and Kronette. We can hang out together if you like - the more the merrier. :)

Me and my friend Deb, who is a RD fan from way back when as well and is a slasher (a reader, rather than a writer). We've got a room at the con hotel, mainly because I dont want to have to walk in Birmingham however late at night to get back to our hotel. This made it much easier. Not sure yet if we'll have a car there, or if we'll turn it in to the rental place when we arrive in Birmingham. Those are details to still be worked out.

I've been going to cons on my own since 1995, but I usually meet up with some people I know at the con. I have done quite a few cons where I've known no one, and had a very good time regardless. I talked to people at my table (I bought a dinner with the guests), chatted with those around me in the autograph lines, and had pleasant conversations with those seated around me for the talks. There's one thing about conventions that "mundanes" don't understand - we go into them with something in common with everyone attending. We're all fans of that show/actor, and it's usually sci-fi based so we all have something in common to discuss.

My question is, are we skewed more toward Chris/Rimmer fans, or will there be more Craig/Danny/Bobby fans to counteract our small group? :)

Well, I'm a Craig / Lister fan. :) Others I know of are kms_726, felineranger, sunny_bexster and kahvi. I don't know whether any of them are going though.

There is a nebulous plan for kms_726 to come to the UK to stay with me for two weeks, including the DJ weekend.

I was going to see how many folks were going, but if there's plenty of slashers going, I'm almost certainly in! :)

Just wondering - and this probably seems like a dumb question, sorry about that - but is there any way to get just a one day pass? 'Cause I'd really like to go but there's no way I can afford to stay over...

I'm pretty sure you can get a one day pass? Over to MissFlibble. ;)

It'd be nice to meet up with you and Kelly. Hope it works out. :)

I'm afraid I will be with you in spirit only. I have an irrational fear that I would suffer sudden adult death syndrome if I ever actually made eye contact with one of the cast. But I look forward to a full report!

Awww, that's a shame. I met Bobby for the first time just before Christmas and he was lovely. He could tell I was shy and tried to put me at ease. :)

Of course, that's Robert. Craig's a different matter...

I reeeeally hope I can! It's the only way I'd get to go :)

I'm also desperate to go but GRRRR I am so shy. I have no idea what to even do with myself for the weekend!

Yes! That could work!

I've decided I'm going to go now because GOSH I NEED TO DO THIS

Indeed I did! My roomie booked our room about a week ago! Just need to register and buy my coach tickets :D

I am all kinds of excited and scared :O
