March 6-8 SPN Con Ideas!!
Feb. 23rd, 2009 05:30 pmOkay. Look. We all know that it sucks that Jared's not going to the con. I'm assuming it's because he's getting gay married to Jensen, because otherwise what possible excuse could he have? None. That's my thoughts on the issue. I know this depresses everyone, that Jared's not going, but I think we should all hold off on selling our tickets and trying to get refunds, both of which most likely aren't going to happen anyway.
There is still hope to make this a good con!

siriuslyyellow, jelost, and I have all come to agree on an idea. We all are used to going to anime cons, and anime cons are focused on fandom like WHOA. So, hey, why not use this con as a fandom gathering, just like anime cons do?
There are four things I definitely want to do at this con.
1 – Meet up with shippers to talk about our ships. This is a great opportunity to learn more about areas of the SPN fandom that you may be unfamiliar with. I love discussing ships in a non-threatening manner. So yes, please! The rules are that you can't say anything negative about any characters or pairings, and also that you can't have any crossover ships. Only characters from SPN can be discussed, so that everyone's on the same page.
2 – Meet up with wincesters to fangirl ridiculously loudly. I mean that. Anybody who ships Dean and Sam, let's get together and talk about how awesome they are and how much they love each other.
3 – Fanfic drabble contest. Everybody brings a 100 word drabble in and reads it aloud, then people vote on their favorite in various categories. The categories would be something like Best Angst/Drama, Best Comedy/Crack/Fluff, and Best PWP/Smut.
4 – Fanvids!! We can totally have a fanvid contest where you bring in a fanvid you made in the past year, and we vote on the best in each category. Yes!!
I'll be looking to set up these four panels, probably in between midnight and four or five a.m. Friday and Saturday night. At anime cons, they've got activities lined up 24/7 so there's always something to do. I'm kind of surprised about the amount of time they don't have stuff going on, from what I've heard. When will that schedule be up for perusal, anyway?
( Here's some ideas we had, about what we could do during the con )
