Sean Patrick Fannon’s 2008 was not his best year. The Shaintar author described the year as “significantly difficult” in a blog from last October. He went on to paint a very dismal picture of 2008:
- “The love of my life shattered my heart;”
- “A family member has, in the course of destroying his own life, caused great harm and mischief for his sister (my mother) and the rest of us;” and
- “My father’s health has been in steady decline…”
Listeners of The Game’s the Thing and readers of Mr. Fannon’s blog know that things have turned around in 2009.
He met a girl.
By all reports, they’ve hit it off quite nice.
To celebrate their joy, the happy couple is planning WeddingCon 2009 to be held in Atlanta, Ga. December 11 – December 13.
The Gamer Girl of My Dreams, Carinn, and I are hosting a gaming/relaxi-con with a handfasting ceremony as one of the main events, and we’d love for you to come and play, party, and celebrate with us.
…There will be gaming, including a Big Shaintar Game.
You know, that sounds like an awfully fun way to get married/hand-fasted/what-have-you. Surrounded by friends and well-wishers playing games for three days? I don’t know why I didn’t think of this!
Perhaps, for the vow renewal?
IoM wishes Sean and Carinn all the best. We’ll be following developments as things progress.
I always cry at handfastings.
