Intrepid reporter Trans-Smut Jun here, reporting live from the First AnnualGatcha-Vention in Sydney, Australia. We have it all here, folks: Gatcha-Conferences, Gatcha-Fiction, Gatcha-Art and lots of smut talk. Not to mention two irritated husbands and three hyper Condor-children. But I digress. Everyone attending the GatchaVention agrees that it is the best such gathering in Sydney this century. Next time, won't you be there?

well...it is back to me to report on the social side of things... We have called in the team to take care of the Timtam stealing Mecha that Katse has been hiding at Luna Park...Apparently she/he has had a fixation on them for some time! So we have a lead on his next move...and with the help of the Condor and the Eagle and we will be checking out Bras'n'things for suspect items like the body paint that may have been tampered with...Joe has offered to sample the product if the Swan offers to volunteer... We know sacrifices are need for the cause...so we we are willing to take our chances... So back to the organiser of the event....Transsmut???

Thanks for that lovely report, Ebony. For the moment, we're finishing up our second day of adventure here at GatchaVention, and the Condors and Eagles are waiting in the bar, so unfortunarely we will have to say goodnight.... (before their bar tabs run us into the ground) Goodnight, and we''ll be back soon... or maybe not...

Yeah!! Ebony and TJ!!! It's good to hear from my two wily Swan buddies!! So you've been lingerie shopping, huh? I'm sure your Eagles will appreciate that!! Ken offered to give me a ride in his jet so I can meet you at the GatchaVention! It will be a tight squeeze, but I don't mind sitting in his lap for 14 hours or so... Wait for me, girls! I'm a'comin' !

Hey there, girls. Glad to hear you managed to defeat that Mecha. And keep Timtams safe for all Australians. Hino and Cloud are on their way in the Pheonix to join you. We have a tagalong sitting in the back seat. We all want to party with you.

Hi Ebony and TJ!! So glad you guys finally reported in! We were beginning to wonder what was happening down there. So happy to hear that the Swans are having such a great time together! Hold some of that fun for us... CD and I should be making our final approach shortly (just need to toss out some excess baggage first...) Springie, glad that you're able to make it too! I'm only slightly (read as: extremely!) jealous that you got to sit in Ken's lap for 14 hours...

Well, you guys left us behind, so I decided to hitch a ride...I have to say, I am enjoying the view!

Hmm, I may have to hijack him, er I mean, a ride, back.

Are you looking at the view inside of outside the plane?

Uhhhhh...both? LOL

I thought so. It would be a little monotonous to stare at clouds from up above for 14 hours

:sighs: I wish I could have afforded to go down. Being unemployed, makes it even more impossible for me to get there.

Awww... Maddy...how is the job search going? I've missed seeing you around the boards!

Hi All... Just another live update! Well I have only just got home from the city... because it is over for me and I couldn't stay another night... But we had a great time and the baby is sound asleep already...sigh! So we do have a about three fic ideas happening...and I caught a glimpse of one hand written fic in progress...looks to be extremely funny! "Nasty boys.."oh yeah do it to me baby... And the trip to visit the famed body chocolate is documented and it is sure to cause a stir...and the Swan has some new lingerie ideas... The convention continues over the phone...one last chat to close the Sydney end of the Conference before it moves onto a ship bound for New Zealand...

Sounds like you two had a great time!! I'm especially excited to hear about all of the fic inspiration!

We only had 2 days...it was not enough time and we were only getting warmed up! My DH wanted to hang around..grr..

So do you mean that you and TJ didn't get much time to yourselves? Or do you mean DH had such a good time, he didn't want to go home?

Well...he got a bit miffed that I was leaving him the hotel room with the baby to go and talk Gatch with TJ... (He's a sociable type of guy...and he felt left out...poor boy)so he came down for a while and sat with us...hints of smut talk and a restless baby sent him scurrying back to the room... LOL

Glad you and TJ has such a great time! I can't wait to hear more/read the fics you guys came up with!! BTW, you should have told your husband that it was in his best interest to stay at the hotel. Two Swans together to talk about Gatch?? He was doomed from the beginning!

The question I wondered about was whey the Two DH's were not together looking after the little Swans and Condors?

That's okay, Maddy. We understand. If it makes you feel better,we were thinking about you.

My DH took the Codor kiddies to the pool, but Ebony's DH didn't want to take the little Swannie there.

Maddy... I know you wanted to be there!

Now for latest update...mmm I see a certain Swan floating around the threads, it's nice to be online with someone in the same time zone... So whats happening in the city TJ??? I know you have limited time with being in an internet cafe...so do you have the team with you in miniature to keep you company...*grins*

Newsflash!!! At the gatchavention '08 Sydney we have discovered Galactor has gained control of the Internet cafes in Sydney...they sped up TJ's time to prevent her from posting more it is an evil plot to stop the SNT who are due to arrive at the convention any minute now... back up is required...

Sounds like the two of you had an excellent time. It's great to hear. Ebony, I so know what you mean by 2 days not being enough. I felt that way this past summer, along with the fact of a certain B/H trying to constantly be around, so not enough Gatch talk for my taste... TJ, hope the rest of your cruise goes well, and we can all see the results of your double header planning.

Heehee...yeah... we'll have to try again some time...ditch the boys and have some serious (ok maybe not-so serious) Gatch time!

Sounds like a plan Springie...

You had that issue too!!! (And then the baby decided not to sleep from midnight through to 3am on the Sunday night...Ebony needs coffee when she hasn't had enough sleep..or at least a coke! Lucky TJ had more sleep then me, and we got to talk some Gatch while looking around the Botanical Gardens along the harbour...) My DH liked TJ and her DH and kids, that was good, at least he enjoyed the company even if TJ and I talked Gatch anyway...

The DH's have t knwo that we're just ging to dump them...

my DH had warnings and he promptly forgot them he just hates being left out of loop...

Sounds like you both had a great time!
