it’s 2am an I regret nothing
thanks to inky-thoughts for kicking me into gear
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. I am sitting here shivering and crying because of all the chills running down my spine and the emotions this has evoked.

Introduction of the Song of the Twelve

A wonderful Gallifreyan rendition of the Wizard’s Oath from the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane. This is by my good friend whoviangoesthere.The sticky note is covering their maker’s mark for privacy reasons on their request.
Okay okay okay:
I love you to the moon and back. WANNA SEE?!*Teleports you to the moon and then teleports you back*SEE?! That’s how much I love you.I love you so much, I have to take you to this planet so you can meet my robot children.In life’s name and for life’s sake, please go out with me.I thought I’d slow down entropy by asking you out now rather than later.You must be one of the Powers that Be, because I’ve had you in my mind all day.Ahhhhh… I am done now. Please to not be leaving me for this, as that would increase entropy.-The Inimitable Benjamin

It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for: Launch Day!
Click the link above to check out our shiny new fundraiser, watch our pitch video, peruse our perks, and then click that big pink button to fund everyone’s favourite Young Wizards convention!
Our campaign runs now till February 15th, 2015, so you have plenty of time to contribute, and our tiers start at $1 for those with tight budgets.
Seeing as the gift-giving season is upon us, may we also suggest asking your friends and family to help fund CrossingsCon as a Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or other holiday gift to you? It supports a great cause, plus, if they spend $5 or more you’ll even get some seriously cool stuff after the campaign ends!
Stay tuned here for more about the people behind our wonderful perks, plus updates and progress reports as the campaign goes on.
Also, if you have any questions about the campaign, the perks, or anything else related to the convention, or if you’d just like to squee at us about how excited you are (we wouldn’t blame you one bit if you did) drop us a line any time 🙂
In the meantime, go well cousins, and Happy Backing!
Attention YW Fans! Are you on the autism spectrum? Would you like to make your voice heard?
Here is your chance to participate anonymously in a guest post for Carrie Sessarego’s blog, Geek Girl In Love. She interviewed the CrossingsCon staff about our upcoming convention and fundraiser and as a result, wants to hear from autistic fans of the Young Wizards series. It is 1000% anonymous – use whatever pseudonym you want, or just be listed as anonymous. Confidentiality is assured.
Please send them to sessarego1@gmail.com, no minimum/maximum word limit, but she is looking for about 500 words total from the whole fandom(or more!). She is really interested in hearing from autistic fans!
Suggested talking points (just ideas, do with them as you will)
* How has Duane’s depiction of autism changed since she published her first book with an autistic character?* How do you feel about this change? Is it positive or negative* How (personally) are you affected by reading about autistic characters in YW?* Are there other books/films/TV shows that do a good job of portraying autism in a realistic way?* What do you wish people knew about living with autism?Deadline: January 25I know I’m responding, what about you?
Imagine a Pacific Rim fusion with Young Wizards
Most of what I’ve seen really focuses on the humans, because they’re the ones who have to deal with it overtly. Not even the hint of impending doom is enough to change the sevarfrith nature of the planet. Aliens can’t just disappear with no explanation.
But while humanity focuses on dealing with the Kaiju, the other wizarding species have their own ways of coping with the invasion. Whales and other fishes have to find a way to clean the waters of Kaiju blue – reducing it’s harmful effects and finding ways of healing the affected.
Safe zones are established, and they all actively maintain the borders making sure everyone knows where those borders lie, and herding shoals of fish away from polluted waters.
The sharks help clean up the damage by doing what they do best, ending the pain for those who can’t be healed. They also are among the first to establish a tolerance to Kaiju blue.
Even the leviathan, the creatures of the depths who hold with the Lone Power object to the intrusion into their domain. They’re the first to discover just how large the breach is, and are much better at detecting incoming Kaiju than the instruments used by the PPDC.
Cats lend their expertise to create temporary gateways that can be implemented at certain points of the ocean. Others lend their energy to the spells of the sea folk, whether it is in healing, cleansing, or otherwise. Experts all over the world help to refine and develop spells related to Kaiju phenomenon.
Not to mention the visitors of errantry who come by to lend a hand.
CrossingsCon Fundraiser
It’s been hinted at and talked around, but I don’t think we’ve made an actual post about it yet, so here it is: CrossingsCon is having a fundraiser this December and January.
We’re hoping to raise funds to support various convention expenses like badges, space rental, program books, advertising, and all kinds of other boring convention background things. Once we know we have a solid base to work off of, we can start taking panel and event submissions, working on a schedule, selling badges, and all the other exciting convention things!
More details will be forthcoming soon, including perks, stretch goals, tax deductibility of donations, and lots and lots of freaking out. In a good way. So don’t touch that dial!
Nervicited levels approaching maximum…..seriously cousins we have worked SO HARD ON THIS. THIS IS MY BABY.
