CON FAR IS INTENSIFYING!!!

Dear K/S friends,

Greetings from the KiScon office where we are currently going from con farr to plak tow! Only three days to go and then it's time for an intense weekend full of K/S fun!

1. If you are already registered to attend KiScon 2023:

You should have received the Con Book (program booklet with the schedule, all the Zoom links, tons of information, and also the auction catalog) last night by email. If you don't see it in your inbox, please check your spam folder, or make sure you actually checked the email with which you registered for the convention on Conline. If you need to update your contact details that we use to send out all the KiScon info, please let us know; also, if you are not sure whether you are actually registered for KiScon (these things can happen): please get in touch with us so that we can sort this out. The Con Book will also appear on Conline at the start of the convention, but we wanted you to have the pdf file sooner, so that you can familiarise yourself with the online format of the convention. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with us. There is also another opportunity this week for a last-minute tech check or for asking questions in a smaller setting: my fellow con chair StarshipLillian is sitting in our virtual KiScon office and happy to help! Upcoming Office Hours are: Thursday (2 Nov) 12:00–05:00 p.m. EDT. You can find the link in our kiscord. In preparation for the convention, please make sure that your Zoom app is up-to-date, and that your mic and camera are working as they should. Check whether you can log into your Conline account and have a look at your profile there: is your timezone set up correctly? Are you using the correct (fannish) name on Conline? The schedule on Conline is displayed in our main con time = Eastern / New York, but you can click on any of the times and a little box will appear next to it to tell you what time that is in your timezone. If you encounter any problems while trying to log in or edit your profile, please let us know immediately so that we can help you before the start of the actual con weekend. Here’s also a reminder that we have a cosplay competition! You can take part either live during our Zoom session on Saturday, or by posting recent ( = from 2023) pics of your cosplay in our Discord server. See the Con Book for rules and details, please. We also still accept last-minute entries for our cake contest! Should a sudden craving for cake (or any other baked goods) happen today or tomorrow, turn it into art by decorating it in K/S style, snap a photo, and send it to: cakecontest@kiscon.org. The winner will be determined on the last day of the con. 2. If you are not yet registered for KiScon but would like to join us last-minute: Head over to Conline and sign up! We have wonderful panels, fun vid shows, games, a great con zine, an amazing art show, and more. Meet fans who were there when Star Trek first aired on television. Meet fans who have only joined the fandom last year. We are a diverse crowd from all over the globe, and we would love to see you join us. If money is an issue: please apply for a scholarship (write to: larissa@kiscon.org).  3. Last chance to vote for your faves in the Philon Awards 2023: If you have not yet submitted your vote for the Philon Awards, here’s a last call to please do this: You can fill in the voting sheet embedded on the KiScon website, or (if your device does not display it properly) you can find it at this link. Even if you have not managed to read your way through the whole shortlist, vote for those categories that you had the time to enjoy. Voting closes on 1 November, 11:59 p.m. EDT. Jenna and Shelley will present the winners at KiScon. 4. Merch: If you would like to show your love for KiScon and K/S in style… we currently have a limited range of merch available in our Spring store, with mugs, stickers, and T-shirts (in various styles). The logo was designed by Page of Wands for KiScon. Proceeds go towards our projects and the upkeep of the KiScon website. More merch might get added later, but it's a start. (And I needed a stylish mug to feed my con-induced caffeine needs.)5. Where to find KiScon information & announcements:

KiScon Cake Contest!

Mmmmm. Cake.

A beautiful K/S-themed cake has long been a staple of KiScon throughout the years. We would like to carry on with this tradition even in the digital setting and invite everyone to take part in our cake contest. While we won't be able to taste the sweet creations, we'll be able to enjoy them in a visual way. Be it a big cake with buttercream drawings, or adorned with marzipan figures or peens, be it a K/S action figure variation of the infamous Barbie cake, or be it cake's little cousin, the cupcake, go wild and surprise us! We will present the creations in a virtual gallery (recipes/explanations of symbolism etc. and – of course – photos) and KiScon attendees will vote for their favourites. Photo toppers are allowed, but we ask you not to use other people's fanart without asking the artist first. You can create your K/S (cup)cake anytime before the con, but we need to have your recipe/photos submission no later than November 1st, 2022: cakecontest@kiscon.org

2015 winner:

Progress Report #9 – Registration closing

Dear K/S friends,

KiScon 2022 is upon us! In 48 hours the first panel will kick off a weekend of fun and excitement! This is the last newsletter before the convention.

1. Last Call for Registration:

We've sent out the Con Book (a 62 pages long program booklet with tons of tech info, the schedule, the auction catalogue, details on the art show, and more) to all registered attendees by email yesterday. If you are a member but have not received this message, please check your spam folder or let us know immediately. We would not want you to miss out on important info for the convention.

You can also view and download the final schedule (pdf) here. In order to be admitted to the Zoom panels and vid shows linked on the schedule, you need to be a registered attendee!

If you have not yet registered but want to join us, please go to Conline and register now. We will close Registration tonight, 2 November, at 11:59 p.m. EDT. If you need help with your registration, please get in touch immediately: concom @ kiscon . org

A membership (for only USD 20!) gets you not only access to our panels and vid shows, but also to the silent auction. There are over 65 items (most of it artwork, but also several collectibles) waiting for you, among them many beautiful Shelley Butler prints, and even originals by Chris Soto. 

You also get a con bag filled with digital goodies, among them the con zine.

We also have a few scholarships left, if financial considerations are holding you back. No questions asked, just tell us you want to claim one of the scholarships. Send a message to: larissa @ kiscon . org

2. Upcoming KiScon Office Hours:

For all your questions regarding KiScon – be it about Registration or Conline, Discord or Zoom, or anything else that you would like us to explain or help you with. Our wonderful StarshipLillian will sit in our virtual office during these time slots and happily welcome visitors. Pop in spontaneously by joining this Zoom room and say hello.  Of course you can also get in touch with us anytime before or during the convention if you are in need of technical support or have any kind of concerns: concom @ kiscon . org 3. Reminder: There's a Cosplay Competition at KiScon Show off your cosplay live in our Zoom meeting on Saturday (5:30 p.m. EDT)! Alternatively, post pics or videos of your cosplay in the #cosplay-competition channel on Discord (you’ll find it among the Saturday panels), and we will browse this gallery together during the meeting to include you in this virtual cosplay parade. Rules for the competition:

One entry per person. So don’t post pics in the channel of five different cosplays you made, but focus on one. If this were an in-person con, you could only wear one costume at a time too. Feel free to show up in various cosplays all throughout the weekend, but for the competition only one will count. Your cosplay can be sewn by yourself, tailor-made, or bought – the important point is how you transform into the character of your choice. It must be a costume of sorts; Trek T-shirts do not count for this competition. (But we love to see them during other Zoom panels.)

If you post pics or videos of your cosplay instead of presenting it live on Zoom, please only submit recent pics ( = from 2022). While we all love the Horta costume or Spock’s space suit you wore to a con in 2010, it would not be eligible for the competition in 2022.

We will determine the winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) at the end of the session via Zoom poll.

4. The Very Last Call: Cake? Cake? I can haz cake? We have only received one entry for the cake contest so far. And while this one is a most gorgeous cake, we are hungry for more. We still accept last-minute entries for our (cup)cake contest! Should a sudden craving for cake happen today or tomorrow, turn it into art by decorating the cake in K/S style and send us pics: cakecontest @ kiscon . org  This contest is meant to be fun, and we do not expect anyone to become a pâtissier for it. Do something wild and wacky with buttercream! Write something on a plain cake that Kirk would write for Spock! Make it all about colours and symbols! Or shape marzipan dicks and put them on a store-bought cupcake. It's a win-win situation: you make us laugh or go awwww! while also having an excuse to indulge in a sweet delight. 5. Last but not least, technology: In preparation for the convention, please make sure that your Zoom app is up-to-date, and that your mic and camera are working as they should. Check whether you can log into your Conline account and have a look at your profile there: is your timezone set up correctly? Are you using the correct (fannish) name on Conline? The schedule on Conline is displayed in our main con time = Eastern / New York, but you can click on any of the times and a little box will appear next to it to tell you what time that is in your timezone. If you encounter any problems while trying to log in or edit your profile, please let us know immediately so that we can help you before the start of the actual con weekend. 6.
