It was at a teensy con called Con*Strict, last July. I will be SO SAD if you go to that and I didn't realize!

Oh, another learning experience! Learning about a con about which I didn't know! Is this a con that you attend regularly? I attend between 4 and 6 cons a year, and maybe this could be one of them.

I attended Con*Strict for two years in a row and if my health allowed me to travel, I'd probably go this year, too. It's a teensy little con (like, 20 people?) and I found out about it from one of my fave fic writers, splix, a long-time attendee.

Also, in regards to the general issue at hand, I don't want to give the impression that I'm telling people they shouldn't support this film. It could be that Franzeska has worked out her issues with fans of color and everything's hunky-dory and it'll be great. I just think it's important that anyone giving them money should probably know there's some capital-h-History there....

Again, yes, TYK, I do appreciate being apprised of the capital-H-History. (And I am still supporting the making of the film...and still baffled at some of the concerns about racism when there are WoC working on this project, and I wonder how they feel about the storm that has brewed over this.)

Also TYK for giving me the Con*Strict link. If the con is annual, maybe I could go in 2018 (all my 2017 time off from work for cons has already been allocated to Escapade, TGIF/F, ConneXions, and VividCon). I saw two familiar names when I checked the Con*Strict attendee list (well, two more along with you): devilc and gloriana).

It's always fun when fandom circles overlap! If I'm able to go next year, I'll keep you posted for sure.
