If you're attending (or planning to attend) WriterConUK this year we are looking for people to take a 5(ish) minute slot to talk about one of your fandoms that the rest of us might not be familiar with.
How you do this is entirely up to you. You can just stand and talk, you can use props, you can do an interpretive dance, anything goes really.
Click the link if you're interested
Not long to go! With just a couple of weeks until the 2013 event the time left to book your ticket is running out.
If you live in the UK and want to attend a fun, friendly convention that covers all aspects of fandom activity then click on the above link.
Tickets are the bargain price of £35 for the whole weekend and we've negotiated a great deal on hotel rooms (free wifi for the win!)
If you've got any questions drop me a note and I'll be happy to assist

More socialising, drawing of the raffle, and AGM on Sunday morning.
A special cocktail menu will be available at the bar just for us, as last year.

Welcome to Writercon UK
Welcome to WriterCon UK – your community for Artists, Betas, Readers, and Writers who live in or are visitors to Europe.
We are here to provide opportunities for the www virtual community to meet in real time in the UK. Everyone has a role in fandom – this is your chance to mix with people who write, create or simply appreciate the output of those who do.
We began with fans interested in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the works of Joss Whedon, and this still remains the heart of much of our fannish activity, but we have grown to include members with interests in other fandoms as well and creative fans from any fandom are very welcome to join us. Examples of fandoms include Lord of the Rings, Torchwood, Stargate, BSG, Supernatural, XFiles, Doctor Who, Being Human, Star Trek, and Merlin as well as various crossovers (Bagpuss and other Children's series).
Wherever you live, whatever your fandom, come and join the community and please tell your friends!
