Trading card bandwagon

I saw it, thought it was cute, but told myself I wasn’t going to do it. So much for intentions:

Writer, software geek, defender of small beasties,
and all around swell lass, Eugie can be found in black vinyl cruising various conventions
or camped out on her couch with her trusty laptop, typing out masterful works of prose
with her fuzzy sidekick, Hobkin, snoozing beside her.

Strengths: 

Corsets, chain mail, and chokers, oh my.
Weaknesses: 
Little tolerance for fools and bigots. Vanquishes foes in a
messy manner, hefty clean-up fees involved.
Special Skills:
Nouveau grammar, capable of discreet costume changes while
cruising up GA 400, able to navigate dense crowds with flashbulb afterimages dancing in
her eyes.
Weapons: 
Bustier of
uplift
Boots of stomping
Banana of truth

    “Banana of truth”?!?!

    So, if I said that you’re clearly more beautiful than anyone I saw at GenCon this year (leaving George out of the equation, of course), would you still respect me in the morning?

      Hmm. I dunno. Why don’t you try it and you can ask me again in the morning?

      Hee. The Banana of Truth is my tool of grim justice which I acquired (consumed?) at Fantasm in order to win my shiny shiny Ms. Fantasm tiara. It’s a talent. Really it is.

        “Hmm. I dunno. Why don’t you try it and you can ask me again in the morning?”

        Consider it tried. 😉

        So, any idea yet what conventions you’ll be at next year? I’m really hoping to increase my visibility at these things (and am thus considering dressing in all fluorescent colors). 😉

        Seriously, I’m hoping–though I admit up front that I probably won’t be able to afford them all–to make Origins, GenCon, and DragonCon next year. Any idea which of those you’ll be attending? Or am I asking too early?

        • Eugie Foster says:

          Urg. You ask such hard questions!

          I’m certain, barring Hell or hernia, we’ll be at Dragon*Con again next year. Since it’s local to us, and we work it and thereby get admitted for free (plus working it bumps me into a different tax category–much less likely to be audited), the finances are all smiley on that front.

          But it’s terribly unlikely that we’ll go to Origins. Ever since we stopped playing Magic, the allure of that convention has waned.

          And GenCon remains up in the air. Depends primarily upon our financial situation at the time and if we can figure out what to do with Hobkin. Skunks are legal to own as pets in Indiana (which they’re not in either Wisconsin or Illinois), which means we might be able to travel with him to the new GenCon facility in Indianapolis.

            Ah. Gotta love our straightforward and uncomplicated tax laws…

            Well, for what it’s worth, DragonCon is very near a “must go” for me next year, since I couldn’t make it this year. 🙂

            And Origins is at the bottom of the priority list.

            “You ask such hard questions!”

            I know. Ain’t I a stinker? 😉

            No kidding! It’s downright treacherous paying taxes as a writer. I knew more about what schedule to use than our tax preparer did! Not confidence-building by anyone’s standards.

            Hurray!

            I know. Ain’t I a stinker?

            Yes. Bad Mousie-fangs. No biscuit. Or, err, cheese.

    I’m not sure if I’ve asked this already, but do you have a sister or cusin who is not married?

    Awesome picture 🙂

    • Eugie Foster says:

      You sweet talker, you!

      Sadly, I am an only child with no marriagable cousins that I am aware of. But if some should crop up (a possibility given my oddly murky lineage), I’ll be sure to point them your way!

  4. I’ve seen this Trading Cards both on my friends link journal, including my pets journal, but I haven’t bothered really looking at this till I see YOURS. You look absolutely stunning. (I’m not hitting on YOU, on this. Geez, I’m completely straight, and not bi at all. I’m very *married*. But I do enjoy seeing other sexy girls.) Anyway, after seeing yours, I think I should do mine. You inspired me.

    ROTFLMAO at your choice of weapons. Great card.
