Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

I was actually thinking about starting one of these threads, but I suppose it's better that a Y-Con vet got the ball rolling. Maybe this should be stickied?

Excellent idea! I'll go ahead and STICKY it right now. ^__^


Tracy
Staff, Yaoi-Con

(did I just call myself a 'ho?)

I'm Tracy, some of y'all know me by TPod, some by That Dealers' Room Chick. I've been coming to YCon since its inception, because, well, I have to.

(I also sekritly dig it ^.~)

I've been a yaoi fan since BlackRose first indirectly introduced me to the concept (I wasn't even an anime fan). Got involved in staffing Shoujocon, then heard about the possibility of a yaoi con and DOOM!!

I'm nearly 35-years old (OMGWTFBBQ!), divorced, mother of a lovely and talented 12-year old daughter, administrative professional and some-time graphic designer. I used to consider myself an artist and writer, but you actually have to DO those things to maintain the titles.

In addition to my Dealers' Room Chair duties, I'm also Sponsorship Chair, Public Relations Co-Chair (under the lovely and talented Titania/April, Website Designer and Co-Webmaster (along with, again, Titania/April), Graphic Designer and general con whore.

ycon SO pwns me!!11!!!

Right now I have laundry and housework to do.

Tracy
