Possible con!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May. 18th, 2016 11:58 pmSO. Who here remembers Diacon? Because some of the same people have got together and we’re gonna put on a Harry Potter reunion con in 2017.
This isn’t the Big Announcement, which is why there aren’t any beautiful graphics. (Beautiful graphics are afoot though. My god.) It’s just me telling my personal network, for a couple of reasons. I’m really excited, and I know some of you will be really excited, and also we’re recruiting for the con committee.
So this con is in the very early stages of planning. At the moment we’re looking to have it the first weekend of September 2017, e.g. Nineteen Years Later. (The Friday is the 1st.) It’s going to be southeast England - at the moment we’re thinking very close to the Harry Potter studios so we can have a really cool event there, but it may end up being in London itself or another nearby commuter town. It’s going to be sort of Harry Potter Plus -- something for those in HP fandom, but also a reunion event for people still in fandom who’ve moved on from Potter but still want to come back, visit their old fannish stomping grounds and see old friends again.
The big thing here is: we need an Access person. ASAP. In a perfect world it’d be someone who can be involved with accessibility right through planning and into the con (obviously helped by the rest of the committee and volunteers) but in the short term an Access person to help us with choosing the venue & working out what we need would be fab. Feel free to link this post to people if you think they might be interested :D
GUYS PORTKEY CON NINETEEN YEARS LATER!!!!!!!!!!!
