She also participated in this "Game Show" with a few other Young Adult authors. They were split into teams of three (John Green, Daniel Ehrenhaft, Stephanie Perkins on one and MWT, Holly Black and Robin Wasserman on the other), moderated by Maureen Johnson. Basically, each author had notecards in front of them with truths and lies. They had to pick one and read it aloud. The other side had to determine if it was the truth, or a lie. They could ask questions, any questions. MWT's was "As research for the Thief, I stole a car." She was brilliant, if I may. I was furiously trying to remember if I had heard her say anything about it on the internet, or here, but then again, that is an illegal act. She had details, like when and where and what (some type of military car) and how you drive it (stick shift) and how long she was in the car, and what it looked like. Nary a pause. It was a lie though, so she's a diabolical liar. And funny. I can't really remember the others, apparently Robin Wasserman doesn't eat fruit though. And there was something about someone stealing the salad bar at a fast food restaurant.

I didn't get a chance to go to any of her other panels, I missed one, and the others were either really crowded or the room moved. Conventions are crazy. I saw her at the Lit signing though (she remembered me!). I complimented her and Holly Black on having great secondary female characters and mwt said she was going to get around to having a female protagonist sometime. She said sometime. That implies a time. I blinked, with grace.

If anyone else was at Leakycon, I'm sure I missed a lot of stuff. It was an awesome convention though, if any of you are Potter fans, the next one is in Portland, Oregon. Leakycon 2013. Not unlucky, but cool. Anyway, sorry for the um, obsessiveness and long post. Here's to hoping I didn't post this entirely too late. And that I'm not weird. Or overly weird.
