D*C, anyone?

 Well, I finally quit procrastinating and purchased my D*C membership today before the price went up again.

Any other Merlin peeps planning on attending? I really enjoyed our meetup last year (it was a highlight for me!) and archaeologist_d totally saved the Merlin panel from those steenkin' Brit Trak folks who really should just change their track name to the "Doctor Who trak" and be done with it. Don't get me wrong. I love Doctor Who but it isn't the only Brit show I like and these staffers seem to completely shut Merlin out, judging from their website and groups and whatnot. (Even though the show has only increased in popularity.)

 

We'll definitely need someone to save the Merlin panel from that annoying track director who loves the sound of her own voice and who was highly critical despite knowing absolutely nothing about the show. *rolls eyes*

So, there's *some* chance, then, yes? It would be great because I would love to meet you for reelz!

I will be there! I hope we can all meet up again afterward. :D

Yay! Hopefully, we will have the time to meet up as we did before!

Awwww. :( That makes me sad even though I completely understand. See Merlin. He's sad, too.

YAY, on buying your ticket!!!!! Less then 60 days to go until Dragon*con. :)

I can't believe it's that close!!! I look forward to seeing you there!

I'll be there. I've already contacted the Brit track people about having a Merlin panel. Of course, they put me off again, just like last year but I'm rather persistant that way. I'll let everyone know if/when the panel would be.

Yay!! I see that they have a panel listed in the preliminary schedule but I am not surprised they haven't got back with you. They strike me as very insular and not keen on opinions or viewpoints that don't mesh exactly with their own. (and I say that as one who has attended Brit trac panels before Merlin came along.) I think it was a Red Dwarf panel that originally provoked my annoyance with their attitudes. Mine and other audience members.

IMHO, when it comes to these general tracks that encompass a varied selection of shows/books/movies, being track directors/leaders does not mean you have to necessarily love every offering. I don't even mind if it's really, really not your thing. What you should never be, however, is condescending and dismissive.
