Thanks for reading the Symposium piece! I'm really, really glad you found it readable.

Was this at a con where selling zines was not done or something? My own con visits (outside of Japan) have been extremely few in the last couple of years, but I distinctly remember print zines being sold without any apparent trouble at a few French and Belgian cons some years ago. It wasn't until I got involved with LJ/DW fandom that I realized that some people find such zines problematic.
