What started as a random question on Bluesky turned into a whole conversation about fandom conventions (and why I seem to go to so many of them). Thank you Shae for agreeing to jump online with me to chat over the winter holidays so that I could answer your question in far more depth than you were expecting.

Remember if you have a fan question of your own, you can reach me on insta, X, bluesky, or my website!

Curious to learn more about conventions? Here's some interesting links:
