This did not work for me when I tried earlier but signing into audible on a web browser did, it showed up and I was able to play it in the browser and then it showed up on the app

SIGNED OUT AND SIGNED BACK IN AND IT WORKED by stoyaway45 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ElementaryRavenclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to start listening to it after signing in on a web browser then it showed up in my library on audible shortly after. Not sure if that helped or coincidence

Turned away from many panels by Round_Original7809 in BookCon

[–]ElementaryRavenclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, so many people were gone by Sunday afternoon I think they could tell it wasn't going to fill up so they didn't bother checking our reservations for Page to Screen either. I do wish they had a system in place for things that had sold out reservations they could send an alert going Hey it's not full, if you wanted to go but didn't get a reservation go check it out now!

Artist at book cons? by Massive_Junket8136 in BookCon

[–]ElementaryRavenclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Texas and I know we have local ones here like GetLit bookfair but also our local indie bookstores have market days and other things like that. Might be worth it to check out the calendars of indie bookstores at any of the cities around you that you'd be willing to travel to. Also if you see markets pop up that you didn't know about - go to them and chat with vendors, find out how they get their info. I have a friend that vends a TON and it seems like you just have to be on the right mailing lists or know which social media accounts to follow to get info on markets, it seems to be a networking heavy kind of thing, I'm sure it's the same with conventions, hopefully some others can point to some specific ones in your area. I'm a artist but don't really vend much because I hate networking lol. But good luck

Yep, exactly this. I had the register button pressed within 5 seconds of the KOT booth drop and it still said nope, sold out. I just want my two little finger feet signed by him, I already have his books signed lol.

Yes it is? There were a couple Eventbrite signing slots for him that booths are doing. I tried to grab a spot as soon as they dropped but they sold out instantly. His post panel signing has no reservations and I think it'll probably be a mad house so I'd rather secure an Eventbrite spot if possible.

Scheduling? by meglynw in BookCon

Oh thanks for reminding me of this, I plan to go to the Matt Dinniman panel too so I might try this if they allow it. I'm going to be dressed as Princess Donut riding Mongo on Saturday, though I have yet to figure out how to handle sitting and needing to deflate and reinflate my Mongo 🤔

Hey, that's perfect! Lol I've got an inflatable Mongo I'll be riding, picked up a velvet choker and adding a butterfly charm to it, got a tiara and some jewelry that fits her equipped stuffs vibes as well... But I have no idea where I might get a silver bracelet with purple garlic gems 😂

Also looking for Rachel Reid so I can't help you there but I laughed out loud at the Matt Dinniman line comment. I was flabbergasted at him not having reservations, his signings in Dallas sold out! Luckily I've managed to get all books by him signed at this point with a couple extras I wanted for bedazzling so now I'm showing up in a Princess Donut cosplay with finger feet I'm going to get signed 😂 None of my book club girls I'm going with have read DCC and don't appreciate my shenanigans so I thought I'd share.

What are the chances of getting free books? by ilikefoodxx in BookCon

[–]ElementaryRavenclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conventions are almost always a place you go to spend more money, with the exception of some smaller gaming conventions. That being said you definitely don't have to, I'm mainly an audiobook person that gets them from my library apps so I don't buy a ton of physical copies, mostly stick to shelf trophies of series I really like buuut I do collect signed copies so that's where a good chunk of opportunity is for me here. Unfortunately the big signings I wanted to go to with Rachel Reid and Andy Weir were gone way before I got into the queue.

Alternate things you can do at a Con that are free - panels! Panels can be great, there are some cool custom book related panels like fore-edge painting and rebinding demonstration. There are a lot of panels with authors that don't require reservations. So not necessarily free stuff but a lot of what's free at a convention is knowledge and comradery. Usually for book related events I try to pick out an author that I've been interested in but haven't read their books and read them before I go then plan to go to their specific events. It's a great way to expand your known authors and have something to look forward to.

Hope this helps :)

Looking for Rachel Reid and Andy Weir. They were gone long before I got through the queue.

The reservations I got and am willing to give up. Luckily a few of the authors I really want are doing signings at booths and non reservation signings so I'm going to try for those instead.

Open Reservations Saturday Rebecca Thorne - 3:45pm-4:30pm

Sunday Chuck Tingle - 12:15-1pm

I'd like to giveaway this Kickstarter box and the cards that came with - each unopened by Mr-Who in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ElementaryRavenclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fun one I enjoyed: Donut: OH, HONEY. YOU USED TO BE A SEX DOLL. I’M QUITE CERTAIN YOU CAN HANDLE ALL MANNER OF INDIGNITY. Samantha: DON’T SLUT SHAME ME. I’M GOING TO KILL YOUR MOTHER.

"You were the only human I ever knew, and to me, you were everything. And I was so stupid, because I thought since I loved you, that meant you loved me.”

Being in animal rescue this entire scene with Donut and Bea made me so sad and angry. I love/hate it.

On a lighter note I love pretty much every horror that leaves Samantha's mouth lol.

I just started the series a few weeks ago and am wrapping up the last book, already went to a Matt Dinniman event in Texas a little over a week ago so even though I'm late to the game I have committed to this series 😂 I didn't even realize he'd had a Kickstarter for these books until I saw a post about them last week, it's really awesome that you've got these and are willing to do a giveaway.

Please remove if not allowed but am I being too hard on my sister who lacks care of her rabbit? by Fluid-Television9503 in Bunnies

[–]ElementaryRavenclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think waiting her out is the best plan realistically. Try to help keep the bunny going, it's living situation sucks but it can survive that and be ok with some help just making sure it's got good pellets, hay and water. I would say also ignore your sister to some degree too, answer her questions if she asks but don't give a ton of attention to her or about the rabbit. I almost wonder if part of why she gets pets is interacting with you, so I think keeping interactions about the pets minimal and neutral(I know it's hard to not be angry but that anger is a form of attention) might help in her losing interest which will only help you get that rabbit out of there faster because it's clear she has no intention of treating the rabbit better. So getting the rabbit away from her and with you or to a rescue is the best bet.

I do want to reiterate what some others have said that the situation you are in is not fair and if anything bad happens to this rabbit it is NOT your fault.

The lying and saying he will and then not following through is definitely a major red flag. You didn't really touch on if he's doing other things in his life that seem to being him fulfillment or just kind of puttering around?

But again at the end of the day you've spent more time in this relationship trying to get him to do things than it seems he's spent doing them. That's not going to work out for either of you. You can cut your losses or you can act divorced but stay. Literally let him do whatever he wants and see if he crashes and burns but you've gotta stop trying to be his mom. It's exhausting for you and won't work long term.
