The Wee Con @ofmc-twc - Tumblr Blog

Hey @ofmc-twc , after months (with breaks for RBB drawings) of carving away millimetre by millimetre it's finally finished and printed! I'll try to do as many prints as I reasonably can today and bring them with me to Glasgow. I'm also considering ordering stickers of this. :)) I'm so excited!

Calypso's Floating Market

This is your advance notice that if you would like to be a trader at our art/craft fair, we will be opening the form for Calypso's Floating Market in around 10 days.

Anyone who is attending the event can apply for a slot at the market.

For transparency, as this will be a smaller event with less rooms than last year, the marketplace will not be running constantly through the duration of the whole event, but will have designated timeslots instead. Once we know how many merchants to expect, we will be able to give you more details.

For digital attendees, we'll be delighted to host your art as well. However, because of increasing customs duties and frequent delays clearing customs into the UK, we will need all physical items to be shipped by early October at the latest.

If you have any queries, don't hesitate to ask :)

Hello hello, lovelies! We're almost 6 months away from our event and thought it was about time to give you a little update on our current status for TWC 2. We're well on our way already, with the biggest expenses already covered ❤️

Thanks to all of you who have grabbed tickets already, we have covered the cost of the main theatre area and the social space for hanging out.

Tech costs and AV for the live streams are the next target and after that, additional rooms and swag 🥰

We'll keep you updated with our progress!

Is Your Nose in the Jar Yet? For Once, You DO Want to Wind Up In Here!❤️

Panel and Workshop Submissions

Hail and well met! We will be opening the submissions for panels on June 1st, so have a think about what you would like to present on!

This year, we’re having a variety of panel lengths, so if 45 minutes seemed a bit overwhelming, have no fear, we will also have our shorter ED and NED Talks at a maximum of 20 minutes.

We’re also opening slots for “Little Bits” – 5-minute slots to wax lyrical about your chosen topic.

We will also be opening submissions for workshops on a separate form, which we will drop a few days after the panels one to save on confusion. Each one will be announced on the release :slight_smile:

We are a source of knowledge on many OFMD and piratical things! Let’s have fun with it!

Hail and wellmet, lovelies! Since we love a nice round number here at OFMC HQ, today is exactly 210 days until The Wee Con 2! That's right! Exactly 30 weeks today, we're descending on Glasgow! Tickets are available through our website and now, we can open our Pay-It-Forward requests!

Pay-it-forward tickets are donated by fellow OFMD fans to give people who might not otherwise be able to come a chance to attend the event 😊 We have a bit in the kitty now if anyone would like to apply. To submit a request for a ticket, pop over to our form here.

While we can't guarantee everyone who applies will get a ticket right away, we'll add you to a waiting list in case any spares or additional ones become available 💖

#the wee con #ofmc #ofmd #ofmc twc #the wee con 2

Hello hello to one and all! Have no fear, we haven't forgotten you :) We're currently working out the scheduling for all forthcoming submission requests et al.

Meanwhile, tickets are available now through our portal!

The Wee Con 2 Store

Since the store is now live - we have a couple of t-shirts that are in-person only, but due to popular demand, we've made a couple of items available for people who aren't able to attend in person. This is a little information about how it will work!

Said shirts/totes can be ordered now, but they will not be available until shortly before the convention, when we get the whole batch done together. It won't be immediately dispatched.

There will be shipping charges in addition to the cost, but to keep these as low as possible we have a plan: Our attendees come from all over and we have folk willing to be our couriers to take batches the US, mainland Europe and for general shipping further afield, depending on where these little fellas need to go.

It will also be quicker to ship internally than to have all of them go through customs.

We can't say exactly what the shipping cost will be at this point (yay economic instability and inflation! Woo!), but when we get closer to the date and once the t-shirts have been received and packaged up, we should be able to provide an estimate and get them on to you after the event.
