czeriI had lovely time yesterday hanging out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
waterbird, cryptic_thinky, quiet_lucidity, melusinahp, tienriu, annephoenix, son_of_darkness and wheatgerm in Regents Park. We were later joined by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
elanor_isolda with a friend, whose name I'm ashamed to admit I have no idea how to spell (there are just too many possibilities, woe!), and (briefly) by pitchblackrose and naughtyhouseelf. The weather was beautiful, the food was delicious (particularly the pumpkin bread - thanks so much, waterbird!), but the best thing of all was all the fannish discussion we indulged in. God how I love comparing views on particular characters and pairings, going meta on fanfic in general, scrutinising the books looking for clues for or against any wild theories circulating around the fandom, and coming up with new ones in the process, all with a bunch of fellow-fans. There's nothing better in the world! (BTW, tienriu, here's a link to the Fanfic Symposium, as you can see there are quite a few columns on feedback and criticism)
From the t00bs being t00by part of the proceedings, Vee's emo!penguin deserves a special mention as it was a thing of beauty and I hope to get my hands on some of the pictures preserving it for posterity.
All in all, it was the best time I've had in a while :-)

It was also really quite strange seeing you outside, during daylight hours, and whilst I was sober! I must make more of a habit of this XD
