Artemis Fowl 2011 Convention

Postby Matt » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:17 pm

I have a little proposition...

As some of you may know, I was at a meeting at Penguin Publishing yesterday, and many interesting and exciting things were announced.

Now, what would the UK visitors among you have to say to this...:

A 'during-the-day' Artemis Fowl convention (on a weekend of course, probably later in the year a bit closer to Artemis' birthday) at which there will be Artemis themed stuff happening (Readings, quizzes, stalls, etc), fancy dress, and, most importantly, Eoin Colfer and maybe other famous authors (A few other names were chucked around).

Any UK site visitors that would be interested?

No reason. Need to see if there's a demand for a nice big event... it's the 10th Anniversary Of Artemis this year, so we might try and organise something VERY special...

Any details?

It would depend where it was. Obviously I'm not expecting it to be in Scotland, but if it was right down South then I'm not sure I'd want the 14 hour trip down and back.

It's probably (*cough*definitely*cough*) going to be in London. It's going to be an open event, but we may do some sort of ticketing. It's going to be funded by Penguin, and will have a fancy dress competition. It was literally first discussed two days ago so nothing will be confirmed for a few months at least.

Eh, London's good, although I have no idea who I would go as for the dress-up. 'Spose I could be a dark Juliet, but even so.

What were the other author's names that were mentioned? I'm assuming they'd all be Y/A, teen genre, but any other big names?

It depends on the time of year, date, who else goes,wear to stay, etc. London is expensive to stay in so that's one thing (Travel lodge everywhere else has standard rates- London doesn't :/)

Do we know if it's in 2011 at least :P

If it's in the summer I could make a week trip of it, see about meeting with people I know from down south. I doubt I'd be able to make it at any other time of year. Megabus has straight £5 routes to London though so transport is no problem.

We shall see.

Edit: Just saw the later in the year part.. so yeah, unlikely from here.

I want to do the fancy dress! I'd go as Holly. I'd put my hair up and put a blue contact on my green eye! And wear a green jumpsuit. OMG I'm so excited!

You've got plenty of time to save up for a plane ticket! :D

There'll probably be a prize (prizes maybe?) for the best fancy dress.

Going to start the ball rolling on an Artemis Fowl convention around March with the release of some very exciting stuff... ;)

Come stay with me sharkie :D I'm sure my parents would be totally cool with a bad-mouthed, drunken Glaswegian (sp?) staying on our doorstep. <3

EDIT: I would *possibly* go, especially if there are other authors there who I like. More because I feel that I have to go and show support, being an admin and actually living in London (for most of the year) xD

Plus, the fact that I haven't seen you in literally years. :D
