FANPORT JUNE 2017
WHERE:Nonah Convention Center
WHEN: June 23-25, from 9 AM - 12 AM every day.
WHAT: Registration is in motion alongside FanPort, the most popular imPort convention around! Come on in and see imPort-led panels, the artist's alley, cosplayers, and more! If you have any questions, or wish to amend the way we have written up your characters' panels, let us know here!
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be changed.
Locals, imPorts, come one and all to FanPort, the annual gathering of imPorts and imPort enthusiasts! Registration volunteers are wrangling the long, long lines wrapping outside the convention center, but attendees are passing the time by competing in a contest sponsored by a local radion station: to create the best imPort-themed viral video clip and post it to social media! #PowersPower #Fandemonium #FanPortVIP
Unless they choose to mingle, as guests of honor, imPorts get to skip the line, receive a gold-trimmed IMPORTANT badge and be escorted through a secure entrance into the convention center proper. But there's no escaping the crowds once they're inside, you will be rubbing shoulders. This year's FanPort is seeing record attendance, and the venue is swarming with enthusiastic con-goers. Once they make their way past an impromptu welcoming committee of squealing fans, imPorts can explore...
ARTIST'S ALLEY
The bustling ballroom is full to brimming of fans selling their creative wares. Hundreds of prints are available for purchase, featuring everything from Magnus Burnsides striking a heroic pose to an artful portrait of Dandy Mott in his study, with his tie unknotted and dribbling down his front. There's even an action crossover depicting the Blue Beetle versus Iron Man, or Jesse Pinkman dancing with Reggie Mantle. Crossover time!
Other tables feature 3-D creations, with maskets full of keychains, buttons, T-shirts, homemade plushies and more. If you can dream of it, it probably exists, and it would be a challenge to name an imPort without some kind of creative representation!
Some artists and fanfiction writers have teamed up to create doujinshi about various imPort couples. imPorts who are known to be seeing each other are likely to see a drawn version of their relationship in this section, but there are also true rarepairs that go against canon, like Lapis Lazuli/Shale, Frederick Chilton/Sam Merlotte, Kitty Jones/John Murphy, Danny Pink/Mitchell Hundred, Jessica Jones/Laurie Collins, Han Solo/Luke Skywalker, Count Dooku/Archie and Rusty Venture/Sadie Doyle. And some of these books are sultry! Outright SHOCKING. You really must buy a few, if only as gifts.
If you don't see what you want being sold already, there are plenty of commissioners who would leap at the chance to provide an imPort with a custom print or doll, just for them! Although some of the dolls getting in the way of the big, popular ships may just be used as voodoo dolls, so watch out!
COSPLAY CONTEST
What's a fan convention without cosplay? There's not a single room in the convention center that lacks multiple cosplayers, but many of them are in it to win it at the cosplay contest. Some have gone to store after store to buy just the right street clothes to accurately portray imPorts like Daryl Dixon and April Ludgate, but others are up for a challenge and are showing off incredible armor creation or sewing work with their Riptide, Maeve Millay, Jean Grey, Petyr Baelish, Doreen Green, and Kanaya Maryam costumes.
And what of imPorts who want to join in? There are only two rules: imPorts may not enter as themselves, nice try jerks, and nor are they allowed to use shapeshifting powers. Other than that, they're welcome to join in on the competitions and the festivities! There are awards being given for everything from Best Performer to Best Costume to Most Accurate Posing, so jump in, and enjoy! ImPorts ARE free to give their own input (or imPut! Haha! So funny!)
IMPORT HALL
Aside from the panels, this is where imports are welcomed as special guests! Above the entire affair is a huge sign that reads, cheerfully: "WELCOME IMPORTS!". Here, imPorts are welcomed to set up their own booths to sell their goods, autographs, and pictures, advertise their businesses, or to simply meet some of their fans! A special photo-op booth is available for imPorts who are game for one-on-one meetings but don't want to set up a booth. Security is tightest around this area, but only for the safety of imPorts; if any fans get a little too touchy-feely without the imPort's consent, rest assured, they'll be hauled out in short notice. There is also a special demonstration area, marked off with cones, where imPorts may show off crowd-appropriate powers for some oohs and aahs.
This is also the place where willing and participating imPorts are showered with special gifts featuring everything from fanmade scrapbooks of their public exploits and fanart, home baked goods, or samples from all sorts of corporate representatives eager to have imPorts represent everything from their makeup lines to their gas-buster pills.
REFRESHMENTS
Forget the generic, slightly stale burgers and fries most commonly found at convention centers. Just outside the venue is a series of imPort-inspired food trucks and stalls. Ready for some Persephone Paprikash? What about some Emmett Brown-ies for dessert? Delicious! And we can't forget the line of So Carbonated They'll Make You
DESIGN-YOUR-OWN POWER STATION
This year's FanPort has a special charity room for imPorts who feel like doing some community outreach. Long-term patients at Nonah Children's Hospital who are well enough to travel have been brought to the con, where imPorts who sign up to volunteer will help them dream up their own powers, design their own superhero costume and dress up using a wardrobe of donated costume parts. Each child can then pose in front of a green screen with their favorite imPort to create a superhero team-up!
RAVE
The first two nights of the convention, attendees can get their groove on after hours! The grand hall is opened up to various imPort inspired acts, such as the Woden-inspired Welcome to Valhalla, the Yurio Plisetsky-inspired Ice Ice Babies, and the Stark family-inspired Kings of the North. All of these shows are complete with light shows and complimentary glow sticks, and once the clock hits past 9 PM, a bar opens up in the back for natives and imPorts alike, provided that they're of-age — and yes, they will be checking their IDs!
Want to get your rock on? These acts will gracefully step aside to allow imPort musicians to take the stage, but will respond even more happily to jam sessions.
PANELS

An episode screening and Q&A panel with the teen stars of ETV's edgy reality hit, which reviewers have alternately described as "a cinéma vérité glimpse into the lives of troubled imPort youths and the emotional complications of confronting alternate realities" and "basically just two assholes who look alike pranking each other for a half hour every week." Witness the controversial duo in person and decide for yourself! A memorabilia-signing session will follow. Starring imPort Guests: Ronan Lynch and John Murphy
Along with some brief demonstration, this session provides a brief overview on gaining powers, tips on how to deal with them, how to control them, how to best utilize them in daily life, and how to support your friends and family through adjusting to them.

As host of the panel, Doctor Frederick Chilton will analyze the emotional and psychological consequences of imPorts having lived in this world, a universe foreign to their own, for over twelve months. He explicitly explores the manifestation of dissociation, maladaptation, codependency upon other imPorts, and the rare case of expressed criminal psychopathy. His presentation includes statistical data as well as anecdota, using Dorian Gray as an example of codependency with fatal but ultimately beneficial outcomes. Chilton's conclusion is that the longer you are in this world as an imPort, the more dramatically the environment affects you, sometimes profoundly influencing your behavior in unpredictable way, and he argues that the data supports a myriad of impacting variables within that environment, with no one singular cause to blame. Starring imPort Guests: Frederick Chilton and Joseph Kavinsky

no subject
She's only seen the first three or whatever seasons, anyway.
The touch of a hand on her shoulder snaps her neck practically off her shoulders, hand immediately reaching into her leather jacket for a dagger or a knife, but when she sees it's Daryl, she rolls her eyes (mostly at herself for having almost gone to chop his head off) and relaxes a bit. She remembers Jake, telling her that they'd always be friends, putting his hand on her and then immediately retracting it, citing the Rosa Rule (of no touching).
The handle of whatever weapon she'd conjured goes back into the leather jacket as she snorts, amused.
"Liking strong spices and tacos isn't the same as liking bad smells, dude," she replies as she glances around at the shuffling crowd. "I mean, I could've told you that without the Super Sniffer." She looks back to him, silent for a second. "So that asshole who called you out during the panel, want me to slash his tires? Set his possessions on fire?"
Daryl would super appreciate that knife of Rosa's OMG
He'd actually been hoping to distract himself entirely from the question because he didn't like how close to the mark it had landed. Not with what they'd been forced to do in his world, but what his powers forced him to do just to survive. Still hadn't resorted to cannibalism, but damn if it didn't feel close.
At her question, his whole body stiffened and he crossed his arms tightly. He didn't bother to answer. He just wanted it left along. Instead, he went back to the Super Sniffer idiocy, "You was the one asking me who smelled the worst. Figured you had to have a thing for it. Actually can't smell too many of 'em right now."
He reached up and tugged a necklace out from under his shirt. A glass vial with a Cicada wing suspended in liquid inside it hung on a black cord. "It's close enough to my nose this way to overpower most of what comes through. Just the worst of 'em get through."
i want them to bond over knives tbh
"So, what, if I ask you what your favorite type of shit is, it means I've got some sort of shit fetish? Doesn't work like that man," she replies. She was going to go with alcohol as the example instead of shit, but .. using that analogy sort of just proved his point. She'd always prefer whiskey to anything else, but fucking Amy got her onto peach bellinis, which she's been inexplicably craving since she'd arrived. But that's a drink one drinks in solitude, or with colleagues before the wedding one doesn't really wanna have.
She flicks her eyes to the necklace with furrowed brows.
"The fuck is that?"
Re: i want them to bond over knives tbh
He took another breath before looking around at the people and booths they were passing. More than a few were dressed up as THE Daryl Dixon. He ignored them.
"You havin' fun?"
no subject
Rosa hasn't found anyone dressed up like her yet, though she hasn't really been looking. Besides the fact that it'd probably be difficult to determine, considering they'd just look like a person who rode a motorcycle and had a thing for the color black. She has noticed the random fugazi Daryls though, and it's fucking weird.
"If by fun you mean I want to pepper spray everyone in the general vicinity of wherever I'm standing, then yeah, totally.
Fun.
You?"
no subject
The others might figure it out later.
He turned back to look at Rosa, shrugged again, "Been getting some kicks here and there. Mostly it's just what the people I got contracts with want. I deal with it, and I leave."
Except for the Design-Your-Superpower station. That had genuinely been fun.
no subject
Maybe that's why Rosa hasn't seen anyone dressed up like her.
Kinda better that way, she thinks.
"Contracts? What sorta contracts?"
