Fanon Con is an event on the wiki that is held twice annually, during Spring and Fall. The purpose of Fanon Con is to allow users to reveal information and perhaps spoilers about their series in a controlled setting, with a high possibility of other users viewing them due it being advertised, both for signups and when the actual con begins, in highlighted forum threads.
Prior to 2023, it was held four times annually, in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Overview
One month before the beginning of the season's Fanon Con, a bureaucrat will make a thread to announce the dates for Fanon Con, as well as the themes for the Creative Writing, Alien Creation, Character Creation and Art contests. Users will have one month to sign up and submit their entries for Fanon Con. Late entries will not be accepted. After the signups and submissions period is over, the Fanon Con event begins on a Monday with the results of the Creative Writing contest, and continues on to Alien Creation on Tuesday, Character Creation on Wednesday, Art on Thursday, and the Main Blog on Friday. Discord Presentations are available throughout the week.
Contests
- Creative Writing: Contestants are required to write a story that adheres to the theme, the creativity of which is also taken into account.
- Character Creation: Contestants are required to create an original character that adheres to the given theme.
- Alien Creation: Contestants are required to create an original transformation that adheres to the given theme.
- Art: Contestants are required to draw (whether digitally or traditionally) something that adheres to the theme.
Discontinued Contests
- Normal Writing: Contestants are required to write a normal episode which adheres to the theme.
Main Blog
The Main Blog is where users display presentations for their upcoming work, showing off new shows, artwork, aliens, or anything, really.
Chat Presentations
Every Tuesday-Friday of Fanon Con is open to Chat Presentations that may occur anywhere from Noon to 11 PM EST. These presentations are essentially Fanon Con's version of panels and are where exclusive information and Q&As are made available to the public audience. Each Chat Presentation lasts an hour and must be scheduled for a specific time. These presentations are held on the wiki's Discord server, formerly on Planet Chaturn.
