I'm really, really bad at celebrity meet amd greets. I never know what to say or do, how to act cool, how to pose if there are pictures. I'm always an awkward mess. 😞

(Anonymous) 2026-06-06 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been to a couple of book signings and I still cringe at the memories.

I've had a celebrity pic with Barrowman and though he's game for most things, I did not grab his butt.

(Anonymous) 2026-06-06 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
if you're really nervous, try to watch the few people ahead of you in line to see how the person interacts with everyone. basically, binge their expression and mannerisms so you know what to do when they look you in the eye next. also, rehearse some generic phrases in your head. "thanks for your work" "I loved you in X" "I liked how you handled Y character" and even moreso if they're booked to the con because of New Popular Show but you've been a fan since Old Movie Nobody Watched. they like hearing that people really like their other work instead of the 530th person today to gush about Star Wars.

other than that, just take a breath. don't worry about outdoing all the weirdos who are paying hundreds of dollars for a photo they can post online to try to outdo everyone else (see selected Barrowman photo, yikes on bikes). I've been going to cons and talking to celebs for over 35 years, I can guarantee so much of it is forgettable, you won't even look at that pic again unless it's your single once in a lifetime wow worth cherishing. there are people dumping thousands of dollars every year to collect 'em all like Pokemon, and I know they never look at those pics again. choose what's valuable to you and focus on that, outdoing the other fans will cost too much for zero payoff.

I think the key is to just have... not low expectations, but like modest expectations? Like the goal is just to get an acceptable photo with them and have one simple thing to tell or ask them, no need to worry about being cool or interesting or special.

(Anonymous) 2026-06-06 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Good god, I cannot stand John Barrowman. Seeing this secret was like getting jump scared but instead of fear it's just immense dislike.

Yeah, hard agree. Big reason why I largely stopped doing these outside of conventions becoming a huge money pit. The photo ops felt super cringe after a while imho. They rush you through them, especially if it's a headlining guest, and it becomes hella awkward.

tbf tho', some are very friendly and patient: I had a really good experience with Sean Gunn at a convention about a decade ago. The first photo I'd gotten with him (on a Friday, which is typically a lot slower) at his table turned out terribly, so I went back the next day, all set to pay for another table photo op. When I jokingly explained why, he was like "Nah, save your money, let's retake it!" and not to tell his handlers ahahaha. I think it was because I had drawn a picture of Kraglin (from Guardians of the Galaxy) for him to autograph and he really liked it lmao.

I just thank them for their hard work, don't make eye contact, and avoid taking pictures with them because I also don't know how to pose.

(Anonymous) 2026-06-07 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm too anxious to do meet and greets ='D

The most I can do is listen to others' experiences and be happy for them when I hear the good interactions.

A lot of authors don't pay attention to characters' movements during smut scenes and can't keep track what their positions were and where their limbs are. So a lot of smut fic doesn't make me horny, just confused.

(Anonymous) 2026-06-06 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
This is the worst! I hate when it comes across like the characters are teleporting or contortionists. Being able to keep track of where your characters are and what they're doing is a skill not all writers have...

I run into into it less than I used to, but every so often there's a fic where I cannot for the life of me tell what their bodies are doing and how they're facing. It's hilarious.

I'm sick of being bullied whenever I mention using generative AI. If it's not accusations of killing the environment, it's "Wahhh wahhh you're stealing people's art!" Oh, shut up. I am only creating a handful of fun images for my own amusement in the privacy of my own home. I don't sell anything, I'm not making money or claiming I made the image. I'm so tired of being told I'm wrong for my preferred source of entertainment. Everything sucks now in case you haven't noticed. Am I supposed to just not ENJOY things anymore?

And don't come at me with that crap about data centers harming the environment, because those claims are overblown. Ethically, it's fine for me to use AI. Even if I was doing any harm at all (which I'm not), it would barely be a scratch compared to all the billionaires who pollute the air every day with their private jets.

I thought I didn't enjoy femslash, but after picking up a few books by accident where a key romantic relationship was between women I realised I do enjoy it!

But only when the plot separates them for political / dynastic / war related reasons. I want complicated women with brittle power and deep love, not "messy" women with generic personalities who mistake infatuation for connection. Which is opposite to my het preferences, so... oops?

Fiends of the Eastern Front was a truly amazing comicbook story, but I am glad beyond measure it will never be a movie. We already have too many comic fans who are a little too into "those guys", we don't need to add the wackadoodles from gen audiences to the mix too. I think the other movies in that genre prove this.

I love Mara Jade. I think she's awesome in the EU. One of my favorite characters in fact. But I'm glad she's not in canon. Luke of the EU and Luke of the sequels are very different characters. I adore both versions of him. But the sequels version wouldn't have happened if Mara had been there, even if Kylo had killed her.
