Hard NOC Life: Remembering WICOMICON One Year Later

On #HardNOCLife, @BHMatter joins to reminisce about #WICOMICON on its one year anniversary.

One year ago this weekend, WICOMICON rose from the ashes of Universal FanCon and saved the day for hundreds of vendors, guests, and attendees who were making their way to Baltimore. On this episode of Hard NOC Life, Keith reunites Uraeus, one of the organizers of the event, to reminisce about what went in to pulling off a convention with one-week’s notice.

I’m so, so glad I got to participate in WICOMICON yesterday! The Universal Fancon situation is such a mess, and it was so upsetting to watch it unfold. Seeing the organizers pull of a legit miracle in under a week, and make something amazing for the people who believed in Fancon’s mission statement, was incredible. 

Fandom is, should be, and always has been a space that belongs to the people Fancon claimed to be working for: people of color, women, queer and disabled and otherwise marginalized fans. We keep getting written out of the history, but we’ve always been here, we’ve always built amazing things for our fellow fans, and we’ve always been capable of achieving miracles. It’s nice to see another reminder of that, and to be a part of it.
