Welcome to the Convention Fans blog!
Hello, and welcome to Convention Fans!
This blog will contain news on all kinds of fandom conventions (cons for short), ranging from Star Trek to comics! Looking for a convention near you? Want to know what kinds of conventions are happening all around the world? Never attended a con and want to learn some basic information about them? This is the blog for you!
A little about myself: I’m a twenty-five year old editor and writer based in Philadelphia, PA. I’ve been attending conventions since my early teens, and am a regular attendee at Dragon*con. I have genuinely lost count of how many cons I’ve attended over the years! Although I gravitate towards Star Trek conventions, I consider myself a fan of many genres, TV shows, movies and mediums. I’ve attended anime conventions and fantasy conventions, and was even a panelist at Dragon*con 2008. I manage a Star Trek role-playing game online called Verak Nor, and have been doing personal blogging since 2001.
I hope to share my love and knowledge of conventions with the Today.com audience, and maybe encourage those who have never attended one to give it a try.
P.S. If you have a convention you’d like to see featured, or learn more about, please feel free to comment with the website and its basic information!
The only fan convention I’ve ever attended was for Doctor Who. The fans were fun, but the particular actor I got to hear and meet was the one who portrayed the worst version of the Doctor since William Hartnell. (I won’t name him.) I would go in second for a chance to meet David Tennant. I hope you’ll keep me informed.
Excellent. I could really use a Star Trek con blog. I hope there are cons in the Philadelphia area soon…if so, I’m in!
