  I'm reviewing this because I'm a late participant in GoT and all 3 late starters have to review the same 3 things, so you'll be getting 3 reviews of this. lol Also, I got to pick you and your items, so when I saw this, I immediately knew I wanted to read it and make us all review it! I love reading about the conventions. I wish we would have another, but I also know it's a HUGE PITA, so we probably never will again. But I'm glad you got to go when you did! Oh, before I forget, I saw you said in your intro or bio or somewhere that you hoped to get something published before you die. Have you been working on that? I definitely encourage you to do so.  I'm happy to see you chose all 3 genres. Good job! I hate when I see people not using all 3 or they choose useless things like Contest Entry or Other. With genres being the #1 way people search for something to read, those are just throwing away reader opportunities. People don't search those.  Anyway, good job! Also, your description and the title were clear and enticing. Thanks for that!In your first paragraph, you mention riding there and back with Wannabe, but you didn't tag them.  I would assume they've since left the site and you just included them here for memories, but you never edited this item, so unless they left immediately after, I think maybe you forgot to tag them? Or you couldn't remember their username? Or they asked not to be tagged? IDK.Oh, I see you're writing this as an 18-year-old! HOW FUN!!! Also, a bit of quick math and you're MUCH younger than I am.  I didn't realize you would have to be 18 to go, but maybe that's without a parent? Surely with a parent, you're allowed to go? Or maybe not? "It's definitely something you have to go and experience for myself." Oops! I think you mean "yourself" here. I can totally see me doing a mistake like that. lol "...since I think it'll be more easier and gives away less." That should be "easier," not "more easier." But I'm sure in all the other reviews you've received, some folks have mentioned this, but you haven't edited it. I get it. I often don't bother editing, either.   Oh, I see you later tagged Wannabe. I guess you just forgot in the opening paragraph.  Awww...I see some of your friends have since left the site. How sad.  Either that or you tagged them wrong. lol Nah, I checked and didn't see similar usernames. I think they've left the site. I see a few other times you didn't tag folks. Again, I'm guessing either you forgot or didn't know/remember their usernames. We used to have a site mascot?!? What was Bessie? I assume she was the Story Family's pet, but a dog? That's my guess. I bet the whole site was upset when she passed away.  Who got the Oldest Attending Member award? It sounds almost like it was you, but if you were 18, I'm guessing not. lol Diane at the auction sounds hilarious! And also sounds like me. "Tigger thinks of Prancer was such a hoot." Huh? I know Prancer is a member and assume Tigger is, too. But this sentence doesn't make sense to me.  Unless "Tigger Thinks of Prancer" was the name of some event or skit or something? IDK.You had a "biff" war with Greg, but I have no idea what that is or what it means. A bit of explanation would be nice here. "Also, she does an awesome it." Uh, I assume you're talking about Winklett's impression of Edith? Maybe say she does "...an awesome impression." You mention the ride with Wannabe twice. Maybe delete one or say, "I know I already mentioned this..." lolThe last paragraph where you wrap up your thoughts and feelings about the convention is fabulous! Very well said!  This review is only my opinion. Do with it as you wish.  But I'm so glad you wrote this item!  Thank you for sharing it with us!   Keep writing! I love it so much!
