We're about to do some Fifth Birthday stuff on FictionAlley, as the Big Day is later this month, and robertstandring wants to talk to any of the above.

If any of you are reading this, or if any of you know how to get in touch with any of the above, PLEASE let me know! If you don't want to post here as a comment, you can email me at heidi @ heidi8 dot com.

THANKS!

Creativity Is Magic!

For the last three or so months, FictionAlley has been plotting with Phoenix Rising regarding FA sponsoring one of the coolest parts of the conference - Artists and Authors Night.

Artists and Authors Night is a chance for the fandom to show off, to recognize how invaluable it is, and for those who aren't in it, to learn what it's all about; as the event team says, it will be intimate, inviting opportunities for people to explore and play from fanfiction readings to fanart portfolio showings to an art gallery.

I'll be joining melissa_tlc and angiej as a presenter at Transformation: From Fan to Fandom (that portion is an "additional cost" event) and of course, I'll be at the live recording of SPELLcast - and, of course, there's the A&A Night Events themselves!

There's going to be Drabble
and Drawble
challenges to our Wireless Web Network (where sponsoring fandom groups, 'ships, etc. can host a table at) to roundtables and creative booths and so on and so forth and etc.!

And as with any event, it is only as great and awesome as we make it, and as comprehensive and broad as the submissions we receive! So have a fanfic or two or three to share? How about some fanart? Want to participate in writing or art challenges? Be a part of creative booths? Got roundtable topics? Possibilities are just about endless... and more excitement will be announced over the next few months.

And as smilie117 reminded me, you can visit fromashandflame for the latest issue, which explains all the above in an easy-to-forward format!
