NON-COMM 2024 Recap

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend the 2024 NON-COMMvention for the first time as a participant as opposed to just a listener.  For those of you unfamiliar, the NON-COMMvention is the annual gathering of public (non-commercial) radio music programmers and managers, music industry representatives, and music media from across North America that setts out to uncover the very best in new…

How can you leave them alone in their darkness?

This post is about non communication and the negative impact of it especially when used as punishment. BEFORE I BEGIN I AM NOT EQUATING NON COMM WITH AN INABILITY TO MESSAGE/ANSWER CALLS. I'M TALKING ABOUT A REFUSAL TO TALK TO SOMEONE YOU CHOSE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH!!! Okay.... again I'm not talking about one partner trying to call the other while they are busy. I'm talking about a sub upsetting their dom and their dom using non comm as a way to Control them, or to make them regret upsetting them. This lifestyle more than any other is based in trust, respect, AND COMMUNICATION!!!! (Also this applies to subs who get upset at their dom and refuses to answer calls/messages. It goes both ways.) If you need to take a beat and calm down about something, let your partner know and then do so. A simple "Hey, you doing (x) really upset me and I'm going to walk away for a few minutes so that I don't take my anger out on you." That alone can save someone who's probably already feeling miserable cause they have upset you from spiraling and feeling like they aren't good enough/too much. In a relationship where trust, respect, and communication are the foundational aspects of it, non comm is a breaking down of two of them; communication obviously, but also it is a breaking down of respect. Because you are treating them as if their feelings aren't important to you at all. And as stated earlier, dominants can also be made to feel like they don't matter if non comm is used as a punishment. We are supposed to care for those we are in a relationship with. When they are suffering in the dark thoughts of their minds, how can you say you care about them when you leave them alone to suffer, just because you want them to feel your displeasure? To wrap it up: Non comm is a childs game of manipulation. It's disgusting. It's damaging. It's rude. It's just plain fucking wrong. Grow up. Talk about what you are feeling with your partner. Work things out, and if you can't respect yourself and them enough to walk away and free both of you.

Got to meet the legendary Ron & Russell Mael of Sparks last night in Philadelphia at the Non-COMMvention.

Still innovating, still weird, still wonderful.

I played it cool on the outside. Inside, full-on fanboy mode.

ArchiveCon Info and FAQ - 2025

Registration

Registration for ArchiveCon is completely free, and done through Eventbrite. However, we will not be accepting registrations during the event itself, so make sure you sign up early! Registration will permanently close on June 27th, 2025, at 12:00 PM, EST. Remember, that’s four hours before we start!

Unsure if you can make the convention itself, or know that you can��t get time off? No worries! Feel free to register anyways - this will grant you access to the Discord and any recorded panels that you can watch in your own time.

Once you’ve registered, keep up-to-date on any new info by following our twitter (@archive_con), tumblr (@archivecon), and bluesky (@archivecon) When we get closer to the final date, we will send out an email containing the convention schedule, as well as Discord invites, so the community can get hyped up beforehand!

Register here!

In terms of attending the con itself, we will be using three different platforms: Discord, Zoom, and Twitch.

Discord: This will be the main community hub: chat with fellow fans, receive announcements, have access to staff members, talk to individual Artist Alley contributors, play games, etc. Consider this the hallway and info booth of an in-person con! The Discord group will be open about a week prior to the official con date, in order to let loose all those pre-con jitters and to deal with any questions attendees might have about panels, tech support, etc. The Discord will also stay open for a few weeks after the convention ends.

Zoom: We will be hosting the majority of our panels and activities here! Zoom is free to use for attendees. Each video has a chat section alongside, so attendees can talk about the panel or activity, and, if the panelist allows it, ask questions at the end. All attendees will be automatically muted when they join. If you’d like to watch our panels live, we highly recommend you download Zoom before the convention starts. We will also be hosting a few practice sessions so attendees and panelists can get comfortable with the program.

Twitch: Similar to Zoom, this is another option for panelists to choose from, if they have their own channel. Attendees will be able to type chat alongside the video screen.

FAQ

What is ArchiveCon?

This is an adults-only, online-only convention that was spurred on by our love of podcasts (mainly TMA, but all sorts of others as well!) and all the marginalia fandom has to offer - from fanfiction to fanart, podfic to bookbinding, to the minutiae of sound editing and stitching - anything you enjoy goes! We aim to foster the spirit of creativity, learning, and freedom of expression.

​Like any convention, there’ll be panels, discussion groups, an artist alley, streaming, and games - there’s a little something for everyone!​

ArchiveCon will have a strong The Magnus Archives/Protocol bent, but we encourage fans of other Rusty Quill productions, outside audio dramas, and fandom-goers in general to join in as well!

​Is the convention adults-only?

Yes. You must be 18 or older to attend the convention. However, this does not mean that panels and other activities will all be NSFW - this adults-only rule is merely to give our panelists and attendees more freedom in whatever they wish to discuss.

​Is it free?

It sure is! All you’ll need is time and access to Discord, Zoom, and/or Twitch.

​What timezone will you be in? And what are the hours?

ArchiveCon is based in Eastern Standard Time, and will take place from June 27th to the 29th - from Friday starting at 4:00 PM, until we finish on Sunday at 6:00 PM. To accommodate our international attendees, we allow panels to be held at any time during convention hours, and most panels will be recorded for later viewing.​

Is this associated with Rusty Quill?

Nope! ArchiveCon is simply a by fans, for fans endeavor - completely non-profit, entirely for fun!

​Rusty Quill online content is distributed and licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike International Licence. Details can be found here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

Where can I watch recorded panels?

Recorded panels will be uploaded to a private YouTube channel a few weeks after the convention finishes. All attendees will be emailed links to the channel.

Where can I find more information on panels, the artist alleys, etc?

Check out our website! It’s got all this info and more.
