My Real Life sucks to a rather amazing degree at the moment. It's amazing how fast things can go south, though I suppose I should know, having watched such a lot of Farscape... Let's just say I have legal trouble at the moment and leave it at that. I don't feel like going into it. I don't even feel like watching the last ep of Doctor Who right now. (Amazing, how Real Life can take away your taste for fandom. Amazing, how often I can use the word 'amazing' in a single paragraph.)

This thrilled and slightly shocked me a bit today: I found out the Worldcon people don't just put all the *famous* people on the 'programme participants' list but *everybody* who's agreed to participate in the programme. Since I will be on two panels (one about Farscape, and one about BSG - and I'm properly terrified, even six weeks in advance), that means my name is on there. Which means that for the first and probably only time in my life I'm on a list with people like, oh, I dunno - at the moment it feels like just about everyone whose name means something in SF is on there. Well, not really, but, you know... lots. Lots of famous people. I feel so unworthy... partly because I haven't read books by even half of them, although I know their names.
Check out the illustrious company:

It'd be easy enough for anyone feeling stalkerish to find it out, anyway - if you feel you need to investigate, by all means, do, but I'm not going to announce my real name openly here in this LJ.)
