(There are various versions of this going around, so if I didn't answer something important, just ask.) >^_^<

Hotel
Main hotel.

Arrival/Departure
Wednesday evening/Monday morning, assuming Delta cooperates.

Means of transportation
Air. (Yay.)

Rooming with
My husband, jarrellwoods.

Who do you hang out with?
Uh... who's available? XD Seriously, I haven't been to many conventions lately and don't have that many of what I'd call close friends in the fandom, so it's not like I have a clique I'm looking to spend time with exclusively. If you're thinking of coming up and saying hi, feel free. Remember, just like many intimidating predator species, I'm probably more afraid of you than you are of me. :P

Gender
Female.

Relationship Status
Married.

How old are you?
38.

How tall are you?
About 5' 3".

Are you an Artist?
Sometimes. (Why is that capitalized?)

Are you a Fursuiter?
Nope.

(I love how we have artist and fursuiter, nothing else.)

Attending parties?
Probably not -- not really into the room party thing. *shrug*\ Not impossible, mind you, but eh.

Do you drink?
Yes, but not more than 1 or at most 2 alcoholic drinks a day.

Can I buy you a drink?
Sure, though it might be something like soda or coffee (see above). If you're bringing me a drink, sealed containers only, please.

Do you smoke?
No (neither tobacco nor anything else). I also have asthma and can't be around smoke generally.

Are you attending any panels?
Approximately a bunch. See my schedule on my blog.

Stage or public performance?
If a reading and Q&A counts, yeah.

How do I identify myself to you?
Tell me your username and where I might know you from ("I'm such-and-such from FA"). Please don't be offended if we've met before and I have no freaking clue who you are. I'm not good with remembering names/faces I've only seen briefly at a con once or twice before. Plus I expect to be stressed out or busy half the time, so I will need lots of slack cut for me. >_<

As far as how to address me, I'm fine with Renee, PT, my lady, or Madam President, whatever you're comfortable with, though response times will be faster with the first two options. ;)

Rules of engagement (physical contact)?
Only if I initiate it, please. Hugging, to me, is for family/close friends (like, if you've been to my house). Otherwise, I'm cool with verbal greetings and good-byes.

How can I find you?
Check my schedule. I'm supposed to be somewhere for most of the con. >^_^< Otherwise, I'm probably in the Dealers Den at my table (#17, sharing with Jess E. Owen aka CopperGryphon). Assuming there's signal in the Dealers Den, I'll try to post to my Twitter account when I'm going to be at the table for longer than a few minutes.

Can I talk to you?
Assuming we share a language in common, yes.

Can I give you lots of money?
Uh... as long as there are no obligations involved, sure! But mostly I'd rather you buy stuff at my table.

Can I give you stuff?
Sure, as long as it isn't con crud or something I can't fit on the plane.

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Unless you're my husband, no. (See "Rules of engagement".)

Can I come to dinner with you?
Maybe? Depending on where I need to be and what's happening and such. No offense meant if I have other plans (that may involve needing a break from constant socializing and just wanting to eat at a quiet table with my husband).

Can I hang out with you?
If I'm not currently on my way to somewhere or late for something, sure.

Can I take your picture?
Okay? I mean, you know, selfie at the dealer's table or whatnot is fine, but this is starting to sound a little stalkerish. ;)

How do I know if you're not looking to socialize (angry, busy or upset)?
If I'm wearing headphones, don't bother me; that means that, for whatever reason, I need to be in a bubble of isolation/concentration/decompression. Otherwise, if I really don't want to socialize, I'll either say I have to get going to somewhere (which is probably true and no offense meant) or I'll be in my room. I am a major introvert and will need time to recharge throughout the con, which is one reason I won't be at any of the late panels. It's not you; it's me. >^_^<

What's your goal for the con this year?
To not embarrass myself in public somehow? That's not exactly a goal as much as a fervent hope, though... Mostly I guess it boils down to meet people, make connections, promote my work generally, and hopefully sell some books... that kind of thing, in roughly that order. And to enjoy myself as much as reasonably possible, since I don't expect this sort of thing to happen again.
