Philcon 2024!

Philcon will be held from November 22 - 24, 2024 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Online registration is open, and this year's guests of honor lineup has been announced: Principle Speaker: Max Gladstone Artist Guests of Honor: Matthew Stewart & Gina Matarazzo Special Guest: Nghi Vo Musical Guest: Cecilia Eng * Philcon is the Philadelphia area's longest-running science fiction conference. Its programming staff is dedicated to finding interesting, fun, & educational things in different aspects of the genre to talk about each year. What might 2024 have in store? Stay tuned to find out! In the meantime, we'll be reblogging things that might be of interest to you, if you're a fellow fan of science, science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

"it's not realistic—" do you think I am reading the genre named "fantasy" for how accurate it is to real life

ah this mightt seem dumb but… what is the senverse exactly? 😅

you might want to refer to this post, but to summarise:

senVerse is simply the name of any AUs I make of certain medias! currently there's only a senVerse AU for Doors but that might change in the future :3 it's just my own reimagination of doors, that's all. all the entities you know and love, think of them but creature-fied!

also fun fact it's capitalised as 'senVerse' cus i am a computing student and traditionally in programming we name variables/attributes via the Camel Case - if the variable consists of multiple words, the first word will always be lowercase and the following will be capitalised i.e. firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth etc. (there is of course other cases like Pascal Case and Snake Case but for some reason i've taken a sweet liking to Camel Case. i've made it my whole personality.)

it's why you'll generally see my handle as hydraNessa around :3

A program from a 1976 Star Trek convention.

I’ve somehow come upon the idea that if Lucas were to decide to play an instrument (at least a conventional one) and actually commit to developing proficiency with it, it’d be the accordion.

watching willy’s wonderland (finally!!!) and i am absolutely loving the 1930s—1950s B-movie horror vibes!!! like the wooden acting and horrid script + the cheap practical effects and prosthetics are all great, but oh my god,, the cinematography n editing are by far my favourite. like the nonsensical camera angles and the shot compositions and the jump cuts and the shot/reverse shots with nic cage vs the animatronics???????? brilliant i loved it so much

tumblr live update on mobile: it now has the option to snooze the live streams at the top of the dashboard for 30 days, but the video icon for the tumblr live tab in the middle of the footer can’t be disabled at all :/

I love early DS games it’s just like. Bitch. Draw a FUCKING circle

Programming Update

With the con just three months away, we’re preparing for a weekend jam-packed with vids, panels, activities and socialising! The full schedule will be released closer to the con, but we can now share some news about what you can expect to find in it. First of all, vidshows! Our vidshows for this year will be: 2013 Retrospective (such_heights) Antagonism (fray_adjacent) (This year's themed submission show following on from last year's Blorbo!) A Moment In The Sun (evewithanapple) Embodiment (frayadjacent) Eurovision (condnsdmlk) Festivids (findmeinthealps) How do you love? Like a fist, like a knife (nu_breed) In the spotlight (findmeinthealps) Kick Drum Beating in My Chest Again (FairestCat) Premieres (charloween) Vidders Choice (brokenmnemonic)

Look out soon for VJs calling for vid suggestions and possibly premieres. We’ll also have panels including: Anatomy of a Vid Aspects of Aspect Ratio Women Behind the Camera Year in Vidding A major update - this year we’re trying something new with the group vidding workshop! The workshop is a big part of the VidUKon experience, but our new hybrid format presents some additional challenges compared to a fully offline or fully online workshop. So this year, we’re taking the workshop back online, moving it to a pre-con challenge with a longer timeframe, and making some other changes that we hope will retain the chaotic spirit of the workshop while making both running it and participating in it a bit simpler. Watch this space for more detail soon. And finally, we’ve chosen a theme for this year’s vidder-submitted themed show! The theme is Antagonism. Whether it’s nemeses, enemies to lovers, villains or feuds, we want your vids all about hostility, rivalry, contention and opposition. More details coming soon on exactly how to submit. The deadline will be May 6. Premieres are particularly encouraged but back-catalogue vids are very welcome too. Here’s those deadlines again: May 1 - Vidder’s Choice submissions May 6 - Premieres submissions, Antagonism submissions, deadline for in-person registration May 25 - deadline for online registration if you would like a physical conbook or Premieres memory stick June 9-11 - con weekend!
