Dragon Con 2012 Post-Mortem: A Newbie’s Experience
And that’s really what the convention was about for me. Yes, my experience was wholly atypical, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Because, for me, Dragon Con was about the people. It was about sharing the experience, sharing the passion for a story and the love of a character (or twelve). In the course of four days, I made amazing friends, got to listen to talented people share their passions and experiences and insights into their jobs, and created memories I’ll treasure for years to come.

Editorial: Chelsea’s Top Ten Favorite Animated Guys
This was actually written just for fun. One of my favorite online personalities The Nostalgia Critic did 10 Hottest Animated Woman, so I said ehhh might be fun. Don’t judge me. Although I am starting to think I seriously have a type I didn’t even realize until now. Still, the point is that some animated characters are attractive, and they’re drawn to be that way. Disney draws their characters to be beautiful, both men and women. This covers movies and TV shows. When I started writing I realized I wasn’t really talking about how the characters looked though, it was much more about their personality, so in the end I went with favorite animated guys. Who I would probably date. If they existed. Keep in mind this is all personal opinion.

WonderCon 2013: “My Two Cents!” Editorial
This was my first time at WonderCon and I didn’t know what to expect, but boy, was it FUN! Last year I was all set to go, badge secured, but then I came down with the flu and couldn’t attend. So, needless to say, I was super stoked that WonderCon took place in Anaheim again (instead of San Francisco), making it much more affordable for me, because it’s just a drive up north from San Diego.
