WriterConUK - 2012 Sign-ups Open - Pimping Post!
Come and join in the fandom fun - there will be lots of it! Come and meet me in the flesh - of which there is also lots, I fear!
Registration for our fandom get-together in Coventry is now open. I know this because I posted it... HERE at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
writerconuk.
This year - so that we don't clash with the Olympic football taking place in Coventry in August - we are meeting in May - Friday May 25th to Sunday May 27th to be exact.
I would encourage all my UK friends to think about coming down for the weekend - the idea is that (despite the 'Writer' bit in the name - we took our cue from a US event to start with...) you are welcome whether you are a writer, a beta, a vidder, an artist - or a reviewer/reader. You really don't even need to be involved with fandom, to be honest; if you keep a live-journal you are a writer! But most of those who gather in the Ramada Coventry for the weekend are in some way involved in fandoms -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

It is so nice to meet people face to face - to be able to chat over coffee about geeky things and feel amongst friends.
Worried that you wouldn't know anyone? You know me if you are reading this on my journal. And remember everyone who goes only knew one or two of the others, only online, before we first ventured to a get-together. And I think everyone who has met up with our fellow online fans face to face have found we are instantly friends - even with the ones we hadn't even met online before!
Of course I do have a bit of a vested interest - I am the group's treasurer and have to fret about enough of us coming to pay for the meeting room... but I would so want to meet you all anyway! And really - a weekend with friends, no cooking, no washing up, laugh so much you might need pelvic floor exercises - how can you resist?
