The excitement is real — Once Upon a Con is kicking off its very first year, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of the magic! I’ll be there all weekend doing panels both as myself and with Tolkien About It, diving into all kinds of fandom fun—think transformative fan works, community culture, fantasy literature, and the joy of fan spaces.
And I’m absolutely losing my mind that one of my all-time favorite panels, the FanFiction Gameshow, will be on the main stage Saturday at 7:30pm! Expect chaos, laughs, and maybe even a dramatic reading or two.
✨ Come for the fantasy, stay for the fandom — and come say hi! ✨
