>> Hoo boy, my voice would be considered torture under the Geneva Accords, so no singing for me. Seriously, I've got the voice of an old crow with not even a complete octave of range. :-p <<
You won't be the only one like that, even among filk convention in-person attendees. And although I can totally get being voice-shy enough to be unwilling to sing in public, I will add that nobody will notice if you join in as best you can on the choruses. And there may well be some of those you can handle. Filkers appreciate anyone who is doing the best they can, no matter how good that is.
>> Yes, I'd love to meet up with you if I can manage to get to a filk gathering in person, I always enjoy meeting fellow LJ/DW folks. I'm afraid I would just be a listening lurker if I attended virtually, since I'm seriously allergic to cameras and tend not to interact much in a crowded virtual venue. <<
Zoom, the usual go-to for online conventions, allows people to join without video. So if you want to come to one of the virtual filk conventions, you don't have to be seen. And there's frequently a lot of side action in the chat stream, which you can read or join in as suits you.
So yeah, drop me a line when you register for an online filk convention, and I'll let you know who to look for. And hope to see you in person some day.
