desperanceNeed I say more? I think in fact the entire concept is contained within those six little letters: CatCon...!
It's so obvious, why has no one come up with this before? All it took wasshewhomust and me, and a once-it's-been-opened-you-know-it-won't-keep bottle of brandy. And shewhomust doesn't even have a cat...
CatCon. Oblige me by thinkin' about it, just for that little moment that it needs; then feel it sink below conscious level, into the very marrow of your bones. It ought to exist; it needs to exist; it shall exist. It has, in fact, always existed, in some more pure version of this world.
If we build it, they will come. Fen from all over: crime readers, SF/F/H readers, romance readers, even vanilla mainstream readers. Cats cover the waterfront. Yes, and the hinterlands also.
Writers. You know this to be the case.
Artists. Their own work confirms it; breathes there an artist who has never drawn a cat?
Academics. Of course. We can have an academic stream: cats through history, cats in the history of art. Science, Serendipity and the Cat. The mummification of cats: a practical workshop (no cats harmed in the expositon of these techniques).
Filkers. I am told the internets are full to bursting with catfilk.
Geeks, of course. Linux may try to conceal its true nature behind a fat penguin, but is the internet full of penguin-macros? It is not.
Cat-macros! Another practical workshop! And papers, a whole stream of papers on lolcat and linguistics, oh yes...
C'mon, then. What have I forgotten?
