Hello!

LEOCON will take place on Saturday, April 14, 2012 in the Hall of
Languages (mostly) at A&M-Commerce. 

LEOCON is the first science fiction and fantasy con at A&M-Commerce,
organized by Sigma Phi Phi (Syphers).  Our organization aims to cover
all the genres, areas, media, and types of science fiction and fantasy,
and we have special interest groups in anime/manga, costuming and
cosplay, steampunk, tabletop gaming, card games, online gaming, live
action role playing, superheroes, and more!

You can find more information on LEOCON here:

Registration:  http://leoconn.wordpress.com/leocon/con-admissions/

Guests of Honor:  http://leoconn.wordpress.com/leocon/guests-of-honor/

We have opportunities for presenting in all the areas of interest that
our group covers:  you can participate in a number of ways.

1.  If you have a paper on an sf/f topic in any media, you can give an
academic presentation.

2. If you have a group of friends who like to talk about any sf/f topic
in any media (urban fantasy, Dr. Who, Mass Effect 3, anything!), you can
organize a roundtable (5-7 people having a 'conversation' and involving
the audience).  No writing necessary here!

3. If you have a skill you'd like to teach, you can give a workshop (we
have ones already scheduled on fanfiction and livestreaming) on "How to
Do X."!

4. If you write in any fantastic genre, you can read your creative work
(poetry, fiction, it's all good)! 

5. If you create and sell anything related to the fantastic (and we have
a pretty flexible definition of the fantastic), you can get a table as a
vendor (if you are planning only to promote/sell your work, you don't
have to pay the very low registration fee!  

6. If you want to use this event to promote your student organization,
we can bring you in as a "vendor" and provide a table. 

So, if you're interested, check out the blog
(http://leoconn.wordpress.com/leocon/con-admissions/) and send your
proposal to:

Robin_Reid at tamu-commerce.edu

(As long as you send in the form by April 1, you can pay the early bird
rate at the door!).

Live Long and Prosper!

Yours,
Robin
