2025 Audio Fiction Convention

AuFiCon is almost upon us! For those that don't know, AuFiCon is a virtual community event hosted by the Podcast Book Club. Panels will be run over Twitch, with our Discord server hosting most everything else. The con is scheduled on a 24-hour basis to accommodate as many timezones as possible (with the schedule above listed in GMT), and events will be recorded for those that can't catch the live panels.

If you'd like to pick up a free ticket, you can do so on our EventBookings page, with the option to upgrade to a donation ticket if you'd like.

Additionally, we'd like to announce that we will be hosting an equipment giveaway during the convention! We here at the PBC are deeply appreciative of the opportunities we've been given through starting this community, and wish to give back to members who otherwise may not have access to podcasting equipment. One winner will receive a RODE NT-USB+ microphone and PSA 1+ studio boom arm. To enter:

Complete the giveaway form here.

Finally, we are organizing a trailer event to showcase new, upcoming, and well-loved audio dramas during the convention. If you are involved in the creation of a podcast and would like your show's trailer to be played on the Podcast Trailer Event Twitch stream on the 1st of February at 4:00 PM GMT, please submit the trailer form here. (Submissions will be accepted until 26 January, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST.)

Next comic update and GenCon Indianapolis info:

Hi! Sorry for the delay again! Next comic update will be out mid August. ^_^'

-I finished the new AToTR art book! I will have it for sale at my booth at GenCon and a little bit later I'll put it up for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/FigmentForms). I'll post about it here when it's up.

-My booth at GenCon will be listed as Lor Illustration, located in space 2960 (In the Entrepreneurs' Avenue Section). I hope I can meet some of you and say hello! I'll have lots of things there. Other than the new art book, I'll have all my AToTR comics, as well as my Curvy Cryptids RPG book, art prints, bookmarks, pins, and stickers!

vending at Further Confusion!

Hey friends, I'll be vending at Further Confusion this weekend! I hope to see some of you there. Excited about it, I know it's hard to get into both as a vendor and an attendee. :3c

I have half a table, because that's what I applied for, and I'm sort of glad for it since perhaps a slightly lower workload for my newly-chronically-ill self. It's been a while since I've done a con now, and it's worked out pretty well timeline-wise since I was really really sick from September-->Dec, and only just able to sort of move about and funciton a bit more.

On that note, I am also anxious about vending/attending my first con since I've been stricken with a chronic GI disorder. I think I'll be packing all my lunches if I can, and just praying no food molecule looks at me wrong all weekend. :"D

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. This week has been hell. I know it has. I hope you know though that for every asshole out there who is unkind to you or wants to take away your rights-- you have a hell of a lot more of us who love you dearly and recognize the beauty and the wonder in you. I know it's easy to fall into despair.. and it's good to feel the feelings to help heal them, but don't fall too far down the rabbit hole okay? You are loved. Period. You are worthy of love. Period. You are valid. Period. Shine brighter than their hate. Shine brighter than their ignorance. You are a force to be reckoned with. Be safe, and reach out when you are in trouble or unsure. There is no shame in getting help-- and most of all, there is no shame in being you, okay? None. We will persevere. Love you crew.
