This is very funny, Jessica. I think one of the funniest things about it is how casually you throw out outlandish, humorous lines as though they were the most normal thing in the world. You make "Gretchen Hargis popped up from under a table," "I dodged a meatball," and "Pam, Karenina, and Sally made an effort to shield them with serving trays" sound as though they happen every day. You could definitely challenge the late, great Bob Newhart for deadpan delivery. Your knockdown, dragout wrestling match was certainly the Coup de grĂ¢ce. Thank you for a well-needed laugh.

This was so fun. I love that everyone had a different take on the chaos at the convention. You had me laughing with your breadstick microphone. That would be quite a scene to see. Poor Jim, getting ladled in the nose. Ouch. Great entry. Gretchen

Another fantastic version of what went on at the Fanstory convention...quite the rowdy group when they get away from that computer.... not just boisterous either...physical, it seems. I had so much fun writing and I hope we do this again sometime. Thanks for sharing your version. It was a hoot!
Smiles, Carol

This is a fun contribution to the chaos at the Fanstory Convention Jessica and I enjoyed your version and it is a pity you arrived too late to see how well behaved everyone was at the beginning! Ha ha ha, what a fun post, I loved your version, love Dolly x

The reader will lean forward to find out more of what's going on here: "I opened the door to an unexpected scene. Chaos. Complete chaos.
People were shouting, dishes were breaking, and food was flying. I stood there, blinking rapidly in disbelief. Was this some kind of weird performance art? This was a fun line: "I dodged a meatball and looked around the room" A great job

YAAAAY!! Jane got hers, and you were the hero for the day - DEFINITELY not late to that party!! It seems to me your fight scene was timed exactly right. Lucky for Jim and everyone else in attendance!!

Good rollicking contribution to the book, Jess; thank you very much for participating! xoxox

Hah!
Jessica!
Absolutely delightful!
And I am the "Napkin Queen!"
I absolutely would be attempting to clean up with a wide assortment of napkins!
What a fun romp!
And thank goodness for your "best friend" to the rescue! That Jim surely is a good guy!

Much enjoyed, Jess!
fondly,
diane

I didn't expect this, but then again it was a fanstory, and I've been been here for some years, and we've never had one before, and we've never had one in this venue before. Somehow I don't thing we will again! Heh heh, well done Jessica, blessings Roy

That's sweet! Jim's getting great recognition in these tales of the infamous Fanstory convention. I'm glad you know the area well enough to drive even with chickens as obstacles!

This is so much fun reading all these versions of the crazy convention antics. I am really enjoying it. I thought I was the Queen of Lateness, but your delays are so much more interesting. And your descriptions of the chaos are great. Such a fun project! Well done!
