A Good John Con Done

So, does anyone else think that a cool name for “one who attends John Con” is a “John Conner” ? Hahaha, Terminator joke.

Anyway John Con was interesting. It was a small little affair, probably the smallest show we have ever done. It felt kind of like pre-gaming for Otakon considering that it was in the same area. There was something quaint about how small it was. Perhaps it was the fact that its small nature made it very flexible when all was said and done. DO XIII was basically able to walk right in and… do whatever they wanted, and that always makes for a cool convention.

Here is just some of the awesome we supplied Johncon with.

1. Brawl+
2. BlazBlue Continuum Shift
3. Magic the Gathering Cube Draft
4. Full Anime Room takeover with Durarara and Summer Wars
5. Fanfiction: From Mary Sue to Shakespeare
6. Spoiler
7. Broken Sky
8. Much Much More

However, the coolest thing was by far was the fan-fiction contest. We got six entries of pure, high-grade, mock-worthy fanfiction, and the judging was a hoot! Me, Rob, and Mike took point but everyone contributed. It was amazing, and we had people laughing on the floor. We would love to do this again. Not only was it majorly funny, but it gave good concrete examples of what NOT to do in fanfiction. Hopefully, we can strike a deal with some cons to let us do this again.

Anyway, it was a good, but exhausting weekend. Hopefully next time we will be set up in a hotel closer to the con.

I leave you, oh wonderful fans who may or may not like the Insane Clown Possie, with this image.

Hahaha, they are dropouts.
