    Yes it is a convention with Amanda herself...just you and your closest AT fans spending a weekend with the queen herself. There is a charity auction and all profits go to S4K and another charity - forgive me the name escapes me at the moment. There are several Q and A sessions with Amanda where you can ask her anything and just general goofiness which you would expect from an event with Amanda It is put on by Gabit Events. I am sure if you do a search you can easily find their website but I am pretty sure they are sold out for this year

    She doesn't actually hold it herself. It's run by fans for fans, but she does make herself present each time they hold it.

    I've never been (though it's my list of trips to take soon) but I hear that it's a good congregation of women that's less about commercialism (as many sci-fi conventions are focused on earning revenue), and more about celebrating an incredibly strong and beautiful woman and the many many women she inspires.

    You should check out the Gabit Attendees Thread. They'll be able to tell you more about it.

    Ah, thanks for the info ) Sounds wonderful... Too bad they are sold out for this year... Seriously, I keep being surprised by how different things are being done when Amanda is involved - charity and conventions and all - just incredible...

    I didn't realize it was considered a fan convention that Amanda just attended. Ithought it was a convention Gabit did with Amanda and it was kind of her baby. Was there ever a time it was a fan convention where AT didn't attend

    Actually, the way I said it made it sound so impersonal, when reports suggest quite the obvious. From what I've gathered, the GABIT team (who organizes the event) started the conventions for the sole purpose of getting AT to hop the pond and visit her UK fans. That said, they work directly with AT (or her agent or whatever) so that they schedule it specifically on dates that she will be available to devote her time to it. I get the sense that while it's something she goes out of her way to attend, she's not really involved in the planning and execution of it.

    I don't know if there's ever been one she's had to cancel on. That's something you could definitely ask over in the Attendees thread. Some of the Gabit team posts there, and they're really the ones who would know.

    T=Town

    It was set up by four fans that were tired of how cons were run and wanted less about profit and a convention with just Amanda, her fans, and raising money for charity. When it first started the charities were Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Water Keepers Alliance. AT4, I believe, the two charities changed to Hearing Dogs and Sanctuary for Kids.
    The only one I remember being canceled or rather postponed was due to her pregnancy with Oliva.

    Sorry to interrupt the wonderful talk about AT, but I have a question and wanted you guys' thoughts.

    This is concerning "Out of the Blue" and "Into the Black". How much time do you think passed between the two episodes? To me it doesn't seem like there was very much time at all. (I am currently trying to work out the specifics for my story, so it all flows.) Any thoughts?

    Sanctuary cancelled.

    Woes.

    I can't say I'm surprised at this point, but

    I'd hoped they would at least manage to get rid of the energy creature from John before the bitter end.

    On the bright side, now we fic writers can give Helen and John whatever closure we deem fit without clashing with canon.

    Still, it won't come anywhere close to being the same as watching AT and CH play off each other.

    No, it won't. AT and CH had such chemistry. The first time I saw the webisode scene where he held a knife up to her throat and then smelled her hair....*sighs*

    I will also miss watching Amanda and Jonathon Young together. I don't ship Magnus and Tesla, but I love watching the banter back and forth and their interaction. And I will miss RyRo in general. Henry was just plain awesome.

    Selene does this mean you have a fic in the works?! I'd love to read a post season 4 fic, that explains how Druit got back from Hollow Earth (and wasn't killed in siphoning all that power from Adam's machine, and his reaction to her blowing up the Sanctuary....

    Going from just memory; it didn't seem much time passed to me at all but looking at the transcripts that Sky was so nice to do...

    Fallon "We had no choice. We lost power to our section of the tunnels. At first I thought Ranna’s forces had tracked me down but, no one came. And then the rumors began. That Praxis had been attacked."
    Will: By whom?
    Fallon: Truthfully, I don’t know. We waited as long as we could. But power from the city is what sustained our water supply. Eventually the local tribes met and we decided that we would take our chances on the surface."

    and later Helen "She said when they got to the nearest gateway the Praxian defenses were down. It would explain why the psych worms escaped."

    so at least few days had passed?

    I have, like, ten fics in the works. But sadly, none of them particularly deal with Druitt after Into the Black. This is mostly because these fic ideas have been bouncing around my head since long before that. Particularly the epic ones. The littke one-shots I'm fond of don't really count, sometimes.

    Don't ask me how I'm going to end up incorporating Sanctuary's move belowground. I'm still thinking about it.

    Playing off the disasterous ending of S3... I had the idea where John gets pulled through the time vortex, but ends up on the street ten years later injured where James finds him and James hides John away from the world to help tear that creature from John's soul as John would save James, telling Watson to devise a way to fake his death to keep with the time line. And after Helen rejoins the world, James sends her a message to meet him on an island where she see's john as he used to be, before the blood. he would be gentle, with an easy smile on his face light in his eyes, and all his love for her surrounding them.

    I liked her banter with Tesla too. And Henry was indeed awesome.

    That might work, only, James is dead so he can't send her a message to meet him somewhere. But I could see him hiding out for 103 years with James secretly trying to remove the entity from him. He kept Helen's location a secret for 113, even from her, so why not John's?

    If i do write this.... which might not be fore a while.... then I would figure out how to make it so James survives.... but I would have to put a lot of thought into it.

    Made some art for magnett!

    I've been working on three Magnett fics if you're interested:

    Tempest in a Teapot http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7568060/...st_in_a_Teapot
    Five Hours in Ye Old London http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7659871/..._Ye_Old_London
    The Mirror Cracked http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8016166/...Mirror_Cracked

    I wish more Magnett fics were being written. Just about everything I'm finding is Teslen. :-[
