Bordercon, Gatlinburg TN
Mar. 23rd, 2013 10:35 pmFinally getting underway, Leda had a long trek to even start her search. And along the way she had stumbled upon something odd. Something she had never seen in the Human world before. A phenomenon she had not even heard of.
A Fan Convention.
Specifically it was a convention of fans of the HBO series Bordertown, the drama that had been about her old stomping grounds. It had lasted ten seasons and inspired a whole subculture. Though most of the attendees weren't limiting themselves to that when it came to cosplay. Was that a Mr. What with horns?
Was this what had kept people believing in Bordertown all the time it was gone? She'd thought it was runaways and exiles. Now she wondered if it was, in fact, geeks.
She had run into a van full of steampunks just over the mountains in Pigeon Forge who had told her about it. And she just had to see it for herself.
She was still keeping Mum about who she really was, calling herself Eleanor. But the fact that she was a real honest to God Elf had granted her celebrity status anyway. They hadn't even let her pay for admittance, she was added as a last minute guest.
She wasn't sure what was stranger. The costumes (some were so good she could almost believe they had been in town and seen the natives for reals), the merchandise, or...
No. No that wasn't true, she knew exactly what the weirdest part was. The guest of honor? Was the actress who had played her on the show.
Her friends were totally getting spammed with messages about this.
