It's a wonderful group of people and you fit right in with us - even without a costume ;) I didn't really put on a costume this year but I did wear a trench coat.<br /><br />There are a LOT of Whovians in OYAN, which, I think, was 90% of the applause at that slide. If you go next year, ask around for Erynn Besse - she's the original forum Whovian, the first one. Since then the Whovian population skyrocketed. Now, if a person becomes an OYANer, sooner or later they will probably watch a Doctor Who episode. ;)<br /><br />Random question, did you end up staying for the final lecture?

I really enjoyed all of your sessions, especially the one on world building. I seemed to have anti-world building disease, but your talk has given me world building disease, so hopefully the two will balance out. Heehee. :D<br />I also really enjoyed Replication- Thank you so much for giving them out! That was absolutely amazing of you!<br />I hope you can come back next year! Looking forward to your costumes (and also your talks. :D) ;)<br />God bless,<br />~hannah!♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-59242156824456746222013-07-05T18:52:57.806-05:002013-07-05T18:52:57.806-05:00Mr. S is actually coming out with a new program fo...Mr. S is actually coming out with a new program for younger students called "Cover Story", should your son be interested. :) http://www.coverstorywriting.com/about.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-57794294171070378152013-07-05T00:03:06.896-05:002013-07-05T00:03:06.896-05:00YES.
