some UK slash cons
Feb. 25th, 2008 08:32 pmSomething I was asked for in the m/m romance chat at Literary Nymphs yesterday -- copy-n-paste from my email this evening in reply:
Okay, as asked for yesterday by some of the UK crowd:
the UK slash con that is definitely running this year is Connotations,
Newcastle, England, October 3-5 2008
The website hasn't been updated, but they have an LJ:
http://community.livejournal.com/connotations/
I've never been to it because it started after I left the UK, but some of my friends have and seem to like it.
I have a vague memory of seeing something about another one being revived after some years in hiatus, but I need to track down the details, and they don't like being talked about in public anyway. (Ah -- they're on in July this year, in Leicester. Email me for the link.)
Redemption isn't a slash con, but it is slash-friendly and usually has some slash-orientated panels and workshops in the programme (including the ever popular "realism in slash" panel). Next one's 20-22 Feb 2009, in Coventry:
