Arcanacon XXV over... now comes Arcanacon XXVI

We hope you all had a fabulous time at Arcanacon in 2007 - from what we can tell from the feedback and postcon do, that was the case.

So... what's happening for Arcanacon 2008? Well, the theme for the convention is "Zombies and Witches and Dragons Oh My!" - or to be more explicit, it will be about traditional monsters in stories. So we're looking for some events in 2008 that are about the monsters under the bed, ones that you find in the forsts and the caves, atop the mountains, in the mazes and lurking in the ocean.

You've got a bit of time to go - the call for games will probably go out around the start of July, and blurbs will be due around the end of September. This gives you plenty of time to think about what you want to write, if you want to write with other folks, and all the other little details that make up a con game.

Arcanacon is also looking for more ConOrgs and Helpers. If you're curious about getting involved in organising or running Arcanacon, let us know - pop us an email or give us a call or catch up with one of the orgs at one of the other Cons during the year. Earlier is better as conorg meetings start before Easter - it takes a lot of preparation to make the 4 days of Arcanacon go off smoothly.

Please be aware that next year, the Victorian holiday for Australia Day is on the MONDAY - which means the con will run Friday - Monday rather than Thursday - Sunday as it has the last few years.

In the meantime, see you all at Conquest, Dwarfcon, Retrocon, Fauxcon and Unicon :)
