Spontaneous Online WisCon!
May. 26th, 2021 07:41 pmOkay, so a lot of us feared that WisCon wasn't going to happen at all this year, but that is not to be! There will be spontaneous programming, discussions about WisCon's future, the Otherwise Award auction and other stuff! Registration is sliding scale, just follow the link.
So, the other stuff. A lot of the dealers and artists who go to to WisCon every year make a solid chunk of their annual income from it, so having it not be in person (and the economy tanking and all) twice in a row means that everyone is taking a hit, including Queen of Swords Press. Therefore, we're having a virtual Art Show and Dealer's Room Show. I expect to be adding more folks to this list, but here's the initial round. We might get something up at the Queen of Swords Press Discord, but it will be less grand than I originally imagined. But there are deals to be had and cool things to acquire! We'll be boosting on Twitter and else where using the hashtags #VWisconArtShow and #VWisconDealersRoom. In the meantime, please check these folks out and consider buying a thing or two.
