Signal Boost for New Fancon

Fanworks is a new con that will begin in 2019. It will be dedicated to various forms of fannish craft, including but not limited to fanfic, fanvids, fanart, and podfic, and is under development by [personal profile] trelkez, [personal profile] sweetestdrain, and [personal profile] absolutedestiny.

There will be individual programming tracks for fanfic, podfic, fanvids, and fanart. Panel programming will focus on craft, and will be a mix of technical panels and presentations (how to achieve a video effect, how to write a certain kind of scene, how to make certain kinds of cosplay outfits, et cetera) and topical discussion panels related to different fan crafts. The fanvid programming track will have both panels and vidshows, including a show of premiering vids. All vidshows will be available to stream online (with viewer-optional subtitles) for attending and supporting members.

Planned features of the con include:

-- the FanWorks Night Market: an evening event with vendor tables, food, and drinks
-- a vid dance party
-- a con zine
-- an on-site art gallery
-- a quiet room with a zine library and podfic available for checkout

This sounds awesome! I'm really glad this is in the works (I'm still kinda thrown by the VVC announcement)

Same here! (part of me is still going '...but I just found Vividcon, what do you mean it's ending?')
