Witchbomb Sunday part 1. Photos, autographs and KTY

I decided to split this post into two. So the Taylor and Amalia panel blog will be posted tomorrow.

It was noticeable that Taylor had left Tiernan back at the hotel, so today was not quite as chaotic as the previous two days were.

We started Sunday morning with photo ops. We had two unusual crossover photos, one with Dom, Kat, Taylor and Amalia, AKA Wayhaught and Raylla. I wasn’t missing out on that one. Then we had a Dom and Taylor photo op, they are making the film Magic together. So that is an extra special thing about having them at a convention together. Hopefully one day there will be a convention panel with both of them, where they can talk about the film.

It was also the day when some of the Motherland cast wore their uniforms for photos. Amalia had gone for the same as Taylor, which was the season 1 grey cadet uniforms. Emilie was wearing dress blues.

With several photos that morning, I was in and out of the photo room, and on one occasion, almost literally, bumped into Emilie outside talking to her liaison. She was carrying her dress blues. I told her that was my favourite uniform.

I had taken a couple of uniforms down to the photo room, because I didn’t know what Taylor would be wearing. I ended up doing a few changes and sharing the jackets with other people too. Staff were very helpful with changing costumes and pinning sashes etc. But between all of us we got some great uniform photos.

The uniform photos were the last ones done, so they were the last ones that came back from printing. That made the autograph session interesting. Starfury gave everyone a group photo on the Sunday that we could get signed, but I wanted uniform photos signed too. So I was in and out of the autograph room like a jack in the box. Normally you aren’t allowed to do that, once you are in, you stay there. But checking on the uniform photos was near the main hall.

When I got to Emilie, to sign my dress blues shot with her, there was no queue for her, so we talked a little. She told me that I had more uniforms than she did. I was wearing the male witch bomber jacket at the time, which is my favourite to wear – the sleeves on everything else are far too tight. I took the jacket off and showed her that the costume department had simply bought a load of jackets from Zara and put military patches on them.

The autograph sessions had been split into two – the Motherland cast first and then the Earp and Warrior Nun casts. Followed by selfies. This was the first time that Starfury had done selfies at a convention. I didn’t go for it myself, but this was something that fans had been asking for.

I got there in time for the end of the Kristina panel. She was just picking up her guitar and sorting out the microphone. She sang three songs for us. Songs that she had written herself.
