Very glad I joined for the artist spotlight on Essa Flett. The reading from their upcoming book of short stories was fantastic and I can't wait till it's out. #GIFcon @gifcon.bsky.social
I joke but that was such a fantastic roundtable, could have listened for much longer. Fantastic points about the global reading experience and the impact of real world politics on omegaverse writing. #GIFcon @gifcon.bsky.social
Take a shot every time someone says "self-lubing assholes" #GIFcon
Hehehe, Omegaverse roundtable kicked off. Finally I get to hear the phrase "Fuck or Die" in an academic conference. #GIFcon
It’s time! Join us from 15:30 BST for our Roundtable: Omegaverse Fanfiction and the Politics of Fantasy with Ann Alex, Kristina Busse, Tanvi Chowdhury, and Alexis Lothian

The Gaming and Queerness panel was fantastic! Such good talks, and additions in the chat. I may have to try and drag my focus away from Stardew to try out some of the other games spoken about. #GIFcon
Absolutely fantastic keynote from Alice Chapman Kelly, lots of excellent points about why we read (and write) fanfic and use it to queer fandoms to better fit our lives and gain comfort from creating a homonormative space within those fantasy worlds.

enjoying my first #gifcon as a UoG student!! 🐉🧝♀️ I had to catch up on the recordings last year because I was away at work and the Museums and Heritage Show, so it’s super fun to see it live!
Busy busy #gifcon today and I am totally beat, but I genuinely am so grateful for everyone who turned up to hear me babble about my thesis work not once but twice in one day. GIFCon remains the best!!!
We have been devouring every word of the last two days of @gifcon.bsky.social We're both excited for tomorrow and sad it's the last day.
What have been your highlights so far?

"The corporeal metaphor that is semen"
The q&a for the Fanfiction and Fandom is going well. I may also have plot bunnied myself into writing platypus lactation teen wolf mpreg in the chat. What the hell. #gifcon @gifcon.bsky.social
Finishing up with Kashish Gera exploring queer transformations and reader bias across fandom spaces. This looks good. #gifcon @gifcon.bsky.social
And now we have mpreg in fanfic, specifically in Teen Wolf. And no, nobody cares about Scott lolol 😂 #gifcon @gifcon.bsky.social
This afternoon's panel kicks off with Anna Bark Persson talking about sword lesbians in fantasy fiction and fandom, which is just adding to my reading list 😂 #gifcon @gifcon.bsky.social
Enjoying #GIFCon so far, especially the fairy tale panel. Looking forward to more today!
@gifcon.bsky.social
Alexis Lothian finishing the panel speaking about slavery au's in fanfic and the politics of exploring that issue through the medium of (usually) white male bodies. #gifcon @gifcon.bsky.social
Emma French up next making spot on points about the historical very problematic handling of race in D&D, for Drow in particular. Plus rewriting of them by various people. I have quite some reading to do after this. #gifcon @gifcon.bsky.social
