About Connotations
Connotations is a multi-media, multi-fandom slash convention that runs across three days in early October. We usually have panels running through the entire convention, with a separate room for our zine library, a full AV set-up for people to share their latest fannish obsessions, and for general fan discussions.
Saturday night has the Moderately Tidy dinner — which is attended in everything from cutoffs and trainers to ballgowns and stilettos. Sunday has the infamous Pimp Session — the hour of madness where attendees bring their underappreciated fandoms to the rest of us. We also have our ever-growing raffle, the proceeds of which go to charity, which is currently a local Cat and Dog Rescue Centre.
The panels are suggested and voted on by attendees in the weeks leading up to the event. There are around fourteen panels during the convention, and they are usually a mix of meta and fandom-based discussions, with everyone encouraged to join in.
Convention Organisers
In case you were wondering about the organisers, we are Claire, Temaris and Seph. We're still talking to each other after seven events and planning eight, and we're still alive, which is about the best recommendation you're going to get! We've been slashing for awhile now, and writing fanfiction since before we knew what it was. We love doing this, and we definitely want you to enjoy this too, so we're always open to ideas and suggestions.
Information usually go first to the YahooGroups mailing list and our LiveJournal Community, so please join and feel free to chat, ask questions, or just lurk!
