The Sci-fi Conlist - A Great Resource
The Internet is full of wonderful resources, especially for those of us who are into fandom and conventions. I recently came across a site called the Sci-fi Conlist, which I just had to share. It is a site dedicated entirely to science fiction conventions all over the world, and includes a calendar to help con-goers plan their year out in advance. If you can’t find a particular convention on the website, you can add one. Those who do attend conventions in the database are encouraged to leave feedback for others to see.
To check out the calendar, click here. As you can see, spring is crazy busy for cons. For example, on the calendar you can find Megacon, WonderCon and ConDor all taking place next weekend (Feb. 27 - March 1). Then it’s Albacon (March 6), followed by All-con, Wizard World LA, and MomoCon (a free convention) on March 13 - 15.
There’s also a blog on the site, filled with articles like “The Top 10 Hottest Con Slave Leias Ever” and pictures of a Lego made Serenity ship.
If you know of a great fandom website or blog (especially if it pertains to conventions), be sure to post a link in a comment!
I’m a big Firefly/Serenity fan. If you are too, check out: http://fireflyfans.net/
Also, you need to register to log in, but there is a Firefly Events thread:
