Angelo, President of Disorganization XIII here again. First of all, I'm happy to see you stuck around for our Fanfiction panel after the bad impression we at first had on you. I do want to say that you took the whole "got fired" thing a bit wrong. Rob and Francis, the guys who ran the panel previous to us are actually are good friends who we know through Brian "Sonic Whammy" Sapinski. When they stepped down from NYAF (independent from any action we took btw) we stepped in to fill the gap, simple as that. There was no malice involved, and we have total respect for Rob and Francis. Besides, I'm not entirely sure they would chat and play video games with people who disrespect them. ^_^ The comment in question was actually from someone in the audience who said that fanfiction could not be compared to actual writing and has to be "taken for what it is". My response to that (I was also in the audience) was "bullshit writing is writing" and that is what we formed our panel around. Oh also just for the record, it was two years ago not last year that this took place. Just setting the record straight. We don't expect everyone to agree with our point of view on Fanfiction. We judge Fanfiction based on medium and not skill, and its not a popular way to look at the subject matter, but it's a different way to look at the subject matter and we hope that our panel was interesting and informative nonetheless. I hope that we have proven that we aren't homophobic and that we don't condone any sort of anti-gay sentiment. Also, on a personal note, if you ever, EVER, see someone saying "death to gays" in our audience again please come right up to us, and tell us, so that we might personally kick him out, or even better punch him in the face. As I said in my last post, anything along those lines is disgusting and I won't stand for it in one of my panels. Anyway thanks for coming and we hope to see you again sometime!

I was "L" in the Death Note yaoi circle and the 2nd person before the last pic (the VK Ruki looking person with blonde and pink in the hair). My cousin showed me your blog cause he saw my pics on it. XD. Nice "review" of NYAF. Haha… I was “L” in the Death Note yaoi circle and the 2nd person before the last pic (the VK Ruki looking person with blonde and pink in the hair).

Going back even further, this person also equated Bardic traditions to basically being fan-fiction, and even drew comparisons between Shakespeare to your average fan-fic writer because he was reinterpreting old stories from all over Europe for his audience (okay, that?s a stretch right there)." if you take all the artistry and craftsmanship and talent and work out of the equation, rock band is just like being in a real band. “He first pointed out that Neil Gaiman was a prominent fan-fiction artist, who won a Hugo award for his short story Study In Emerald, which has Sherlock Holmes in the world of Cthulhu.
