So what's the singular noun a snark?

No, just a Butcher fan.  That's not how group nouns work. :D

Thanks for the heads up Shecky, I'd hate to use the wrong term. Never know who might be offended.


How's this for pretending to be on topic?

I think we may have lost the topic again. I don't think I led it astray this time though :)

Nonsense. We are discussing the proper nomenclature for a group of MarsCon attendees. Perfectly on-topic.

Indeed, it is unfortunate that there won't be much of a snarking in Tucson this weekend.

Well yes! For I have the camera in hand. I'm just hoping that the mic is strong enough to pick everything up.

That sounds vaguely painful.

You know the Friday night theme is Urban Fantasy characters?  Are we planning on dressing up and doing JB proud?

From what I have seen it's the crowd noise that will get you. Try your best to get there early so you can get close. In the end just enjoy the hell out of it and if the video isn't great we won't hurt you TOO bad. We like you  ;D

I know many are I'm not much for costuming myself but I have a couple months to ponder it. I'm just wondering which outfit Pricellie will wear her's are always great.

I asked JB at Dragon*Con if he would be willing to make Lea a foot shorter so I could dress up as her...I don't think he thought I was serious.  There really aren't many average women in the 'verse.
