#basingstoke 2024

[cassiope25]

Earlier I posted this wonderful art my daughter made for me, which I took with me to Basingstoke Comicon to get all the autographs on it.

And this is what it looks like now. 💙💙💙

It's amazing and I'm so proud of her and so thankful for what everyone has written on it.

Basingstoke Comicon 2024

It was a weekend with a lot of impressions and tons of queues. It was hot and sweaty, but it was still fantastic.

I'm so grateful and happy that I finally got to meet all the wonderful fandom people I can call my friends in person and share a wonderful time with them. 💙💙💙

I tried to screenshot the written transcriptions best I could below-- but if you have access to twitter, please go interact with their twitter!

== Third OFMD Panel ==

The last panel was with our dear captain. Once again, thank you to Adopt Our Crew for providing coverage! Technically pictures and videos were allowed, but as you can imagine, we're pirates. What else were they expecting? Running out of image space, some great shots were taken by @ofmd-ann. You can see them here. If you'd like to see the video in the screenshots below you can visit Cree's Twitter (Sorry, only one vid per post and so I need to grab permission first before posting here so I'll see if I can reach out to Cree about sharing it on Tumblr).

== We're Wolves News ==

So after the panel and Rhys mentioning he wanted to see We're Wolves made, @ Starqueenie4eva on twitter decided to tweet Jemaine, and well, he responded. He didn't say "no" he said it "has been delayed" 👀

everyone who went to Basingstoke con, holla if you actually survived....

pretty sure we're all entitled to trauma counselling after that one

[louk419]

Richard's first of 2 days at Basingstoke Comic Con was a busy one, including a panel program, photo ops and autograph sessions. He certainly impressed the crowd with his graciousness and charisma. One fan got the thrill of a lifetime when Rich sang Misty Mountains (from TH: AUJ) with him. The event concludes tomorrow. (Credit to OG photo owners.)

So, we did a little thing at the con... and some terrific fics have emerged! Enjoy : )

A small collection of fics written to the apt prompt "Nothing is fucking going to plan” (courtesy of @Logicgunn) in honour of Basingstoke Comic Con 2024. You don't have to have been there to add a fic, but some of us wrote these or at least started them on a sunny, slightly damp lawn with an unreasonable number of buttercups while escaping from queues only exceeded by dead royals.

Oh and this was where we wrote:

contributors so far: @sgatazmy @wonkyelk @acrowbyanyothername @logicgunn @alienfuckeronmain

We'd love to see others add to this!
