Of course :3

Yes, back to writing! >:U

I’m happy to hear you like my badge-vandalism. =D

Back to writing…

Sounds like extreme patience would be needed too. …Unrepentant Fanboy sounds cuter, though.

Oh nice! On the both counts–shirt and the person winning!

“Unrepentant Fanboy” is mostly a more-honest description of me than anything. RainWeaver’s comment, above, is quite accurate, though. A lot of it is about being friendly, outgoing, and inside-the-lines fanservicey.

There is a story behind the ending, actually! At closing ceremonies, I gave some of my raffle tickets to Senshixdoukeshi, who was wearing the t-shirt. Near the end of the raffle, one of the tickets won. People went nuts when they saw. =D

“Unrepentant fanboy” just gives me the image of somebody yelling ‘I regret nothing!’ at the top of their lungs. Kinda gives a better idea for what it would mean to be a bishounen, though.

In response to the epic ending of Buffy ending Edward, there is YouTube footage of such. If you haven’t seen it, I’m more than happy to provide the link.

I didn’t take them up on it – it was early Friday afternoon, a lot of people look forward to YCon all year, and it’s easy to get just a bit overexcited. I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s weekend that early, and I was more disoriented than upset.

With Mr. Viki here it was quite different, but that was a different con. I did make myself pretty clear to him, and since then he’s given me a wide berth, so I think that’s about all I can ask.

I know the boys aren’t just pretty faces! It’s a big commitment in both directions, and I didn’t mean to demean it. I know… well, I don’t know if I can say most anymore, but I know a lot of the crew, and they’re genuinely wonderful people. I just have weird personal history and hangups in the game, that’s all.

Thanks for the comment! Frequently it is helpful to talk things out, and I really am happy for the chance to clarify some of the things I’ve said.

See you next year!

I actually found your article a couple posts back and followed to this one. I’d like to say that if you have a problem with any of the bishounen’s behaviour, then let him know. If he persists, then report him to staff (ideally, one of the volunteer or bishounen coordinators). As one of the guys, I can tell you that staff are always very clear to us about respecting people’s personal boundaries. I can’t say what will happen (as far as I know, the situation has never occurred), but it’s better than feeling helpless and frustrated. I imagine it’s too late to say anything now, but it’s something to keep in mind for future reference.

I admit that I’m not being entirely altruistic here, because if one of the guys is making people uncomfortable, then it reflects badly on all of us.

Also, while it is true that calling someone a bishounen is a huge compliment, in fact, we’re not chosen on the basis of our looks alone (because the gods know I’d never get picked…). Far more important is our willingness to do…the things we do. The most gorgeous guy won’t be much use to the con if he can’t interact with the attendees or put on a show or volunteer hours and hours of his time.

Man, I didn’t mean to sound so preachy. Glad you enjoyed the con and I hope this helps. :)
