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
He was not going to give Ren the satisfaction of getting angry.]
There are too many witnesses around for me to shoot them but, despite your past shortcomings, I'm sure you could deal with both of them easily enough with the Force without making too much of scene.
no subject
[ He knows that, were either the girl or FN-2187 to find themselves stuck in this galaxy, too, that things would be infinitely more complicated. It wouldn't be as easy as using the Force to deal with them without making a scene.
There's little else that can be said about this, especially in front of people who have no business being privy to a conversation of this nature. Kylo turns his attention back to the artwork, looking at something she labeled "Benarmie." He taps on it to get Hux's attention. ]
You look foolish in this one. Is that supposed to be an illustration of us had we both lived average lives and grown up in this galaxy?
no subject
He made a face at the illustration Kylo showed him, twitching just slightly at the variation of his first name.]
I am certainly not that thin. I may not be the size of a bantha like you are but I'm not that skinny. And I certainly wouldn't ever wear anything like that.
no subject
[ He picks up another illustration, hands it to Hux. This one bothers him, not due to the fact that his co-commander is in his lap but due to the fact that there's a Resistance helmet in the background. Something neither man would ever associate themselves with. ]
Do they think we're not only lovers but part of the Resistance?
[ The artist speaks up, says something about it's an AU, alternate universe ]
This is absolutely ridiculous.
no subject
[Hux took the illustration, frowning. He was offended more by being shown as a member of the Resistance than being in Kylo's lap, it felt disgusting. ]
This has to be one of the worst of the pieces here. I destroyed the Republic and I'll destroy the Resistance, I have no intention of joining them.
[He tossed it aside before picking up another, handing it to Kylo as he rolled his eyes.]
I have no doubt you would write something so stupid while thinking you were being charming and clever.
no subject
[ Kylo narrows his eyes at the illustration handed to him finding it absolutely ridiculous. There is no way he would ever say something like that, no matter what Hux thinks of him and his upbringing. No, he wasn't raised by an unloving father on a star ship, but he had manners and was taught better than that (by his mother, at least. he has little doubt his father would say something like that, though).
He ignores Hux's words, though, setting the piece back on the table and turning to the other man and turning his attention toward an earlier comment. ]
...However, I'm fairly certain I could nearly wrap my hands around your waist.
no subject
[Hux crossed his arms, looking at Kylo with a frown. He would look through the art books later when Kylo had left but for now, he kept that thought tucked away where he hoped it would remain hidden.
Instead, he focused on his irritation, giving Kylo a flat, unamused look.]
You may have big hands but I'm not as thin as you may think I am, even without my greatcoat.
no subject
[ He raises an eyebrow, looks Hux up and down for a moment. ]
Without the uniform, you have nothing.
no subject
[He hated that Kylo was right, he hated that Kylo had to point it out so he lashed out as he could, crossing his arms]
I'll let you look at this smut, since you seem to be so intrigued by it. There is some art with your father and your uncle farther down that you may find interesting.
no subject
War had become normal to him, missions and battles commonplace and part of his routine. Suddenly becoming little more than a civilian with the added bonus of far too many family members in one place has been difficult and Hux's attitude isn't helping things. ]
You need to learn when to keep your thoughts to yourself, General. One day that mouth is going to get you into trouble and nobody will be there to support you.
[ He brushes past Hux, knocking his shoulder as he does. ]
You can go back to looking at the illustrations of us. If your thoughts are anything to go by, you were rather enjoying them before I interrupted.
no subject
[He growled but he knew that anything he could do would be limited given Kylo's Force abilities. That wouldn't stop him from trying to get back at him.]
That's the last thing I want to do so don't flatter yourself.
[He turned around to face Kylo, not surprised by the shove to his shoulder. It wasn't the first time that Kylo had done that and he knew it wouldn't be the last. He hated that he was so attracted to Kylo, he hoped that he would just get it out of his system soon enough.] I have other things to do other than look at pictures of you.
no subject
Not now.
Not when there is far too much to be concerned with. ]
I'm not going to stand here and discuss this or anything else with you, especially where others can listen to our conversation. I'll see you at home.
no subject
[He had to get the last word with Ren, he hated it when Ren stalked off before he could say anything. One of the many infuriating things about the other man that made him hate the fact that he found him attractive even more.]
Very well. I will see you there when I return. Try not to make a mess of things while I'm gone. [He clenched his fists, staring at Ren for a moment before turning on his heel to walk away. He didn't want to think about the fact that he was tempted to go back to look through those books later but he kept that thought buried as much as he could.
He didn't wait for Ren's reply before heading into the crowd, his fists still clenched tightly.]
