BotCon schedule's up, yay!

I've concluded there's absolutely no way I'll be able to pick up my badge and box set and the at-con exclusives Thursday evening. I'm in the 8-10 group (what am I going to do from 3 to 8 to entertain myself, anyway?), so the lines will be too long. Tables close at 10, and I'd rather go to MSTF and get them in the morning on Friday, anyway.

Though there are some panels Friday morning that look fun. Maybe if I get up very early I can get in near the front of the line. (What the heck do you think Transformers Idol is? That's probably in the brochure, but every time I try to pull the brochure up, my browser crashes. Go figure.)

Probably not any autographs I'll get. I'd pick up Bumper Robinson's and Tara Strong's if only I had something for them to sign. Bah. (Actually, maybe I'll bring my Beast Machine set and get Marty Isenberg to write on that.)

Panel lurking is fun, though.



If I ever get Aniko's opinion on past versus present tense, I'll probably post fic later tonight. Maybe early tomorrow morning. I don't know.

FIC: Transformers / Top Gear: GT Offshoot: On Names

Oh, yes, that rewrite's going spectacularly. By which I mean, whoops, I just accidentally typed up another Offshoot. I'll write something else eventually... I hope. I want to say this is Aniko's fault, but I can't remember how, so I might be confusing it with something else.

(Haha, after I posted this I finally get someone to tell me, "I like the past-tense version better." OH, WELL, I AM TOO LAZY TO REWORD IT ALL AND REPOST.) (Also, the past-tense one I have partially done is missing a few semi-important sentences, because I couldn't word them in a way that sounded right.)

Title: On Names
Author: Jecca Meitahn / twilit_wanderer
Fandom: Transformers / Top Gear crossover
Rating: K+
Characters: Mirage, Jeremy Clarkson
Pairing: Take it as you will.
Wordcount: 1,542
Warnings: written in present tense for god-knows-what-reason. Left there because I am perhaps an idiot.
Summary: Mirage really wishes the human would address him as something other than "the car."
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers or anything (or anyone) related to Top Gear, and this probably didn't happen.
Notes: This will not make sense if you haven't read "GT." This takes place after Jeremy jokingly remarks he should sell Mirage to James. I don't know what length of time it actually takes place over. ...Did you know that the first time Mirage is actually addressed by name in "GT" is when all three Decepticons are attacking near the end?

I'm not sure all of these conversations will make sense to other people. Also, this is completely unbeta'd and I am, of course, still not British, so if I've made some stupid mistake or another, please let me know. (The high usage of "the man" is actually intentional.)
