Y'all know how often I post to this thing. But this has just been the utter end.
Okay, so long story short. We brought on someone to be the site liaison. She brought on her boyfriend, but of course, the only person who knew this little factoid was way more distracted with a family situation, and who realized it would all go psycho so fast?
So this apparently insecure chick shares our files and message archives with her boy-toy, and he goes and posts about how we're planning this "purely" academic symposium and how it's too expensive when we don't know what else is going to happen and how there's no point in going to the trouble and expense of a symposium when we can sit home and discuss this stuff online. And for some odd reason, he has this weird idea that only certified, everyone-in-the-world-agrees-this-person-is-a-God experts are supposed to be given audience!
And suddenly, I'm hearing from within and without that we're perceived as the very thing we set out to avoid being?
WHAT THE FUCK?
How and when did that happen?
*WHY ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID?*
Okay, so the CFP is the only document out there yet. But like Penny says--how can people not understand that in order to have the fandom stuff, *they* have to create it?
AAAaAAAAaAAAARGH!
For the gods' sake! We haven't even opened registration yet--we need to secure sponsors before we can go promising things that may not happen.
What is is about people that they'd rather condemn before they commend?
Please, people. If you know anyone who's at all interested in Nimbus - 2003, and *especially* if they've said they don't want to go because it'll be dusty--PLEASE, remind them that the fandom tracks will be as interesting or as boring as *they* make it--because if they don't submit proposals on what interests them, there won't *be* any fandom panels.
Argh.
Not to mention the Quidditch, the Quest, and everything else we hope will be a blast. I'm still holding out hope for the movies at AMC, and just, well, *everything.*
Criminetly. I'm just baffled.
