3 Things

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

 
1. I was able to switch to the convention rate for my hotel room for The 100 con I'm going to in April. (Long story short, when I booked my ticket to the con, the hotel room block was sold out. I debated what to do, decided I didn't want to risk not getting a room at the official hotel, so I booked a room at the regular rate, which was almost double. But today I saw their tweet where they said they made the room block bigger, I called the hotel, and they switched me to the rate!!)

2. And I feel slightly better regarding one aspect of fanfic. I looked through some other 100 fanfics. The ones with a lot of reviews tend to be AUs, Harry Potter crossovers, Hunger Games crossovers, etc. And there are plenty of fics like mine that don't have many reviews. So I feel a twinge better?

3. Okay let's do a non-100 one. A political candidate who I'm volunteering for already got enough signatures to get her onto the ballot. That's good.

Awesome! The con rate for DragonCon is crazy high but it's also the entire hotel :) I hope the 100 con is great!

I find it interesting that crossovers are so popular in the 100 fanfic (though maybe they're just popular in all fanfic?). Like, I enjoy my mashed up teeshirts that have two or more of my favorite franchises on it, but I don't know how I'd feel about a crossover story. Anyway, it's good to see the pattern, even if it is disappointing and frustrating.
