It's convention time!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I had this idea while watching GalaxyQuest yesterday, and thought it might be fun to try something that every sci-fi actor/actress must usually go through in their lives - the convention.

Basically, we'd play the 'actors' of our characters (different 'real' names of course), who have to sit through and participate in a mind-numbing, fanboy filled, three-day long convention. It will be a taxing experience for all, and nerves will undoubtedly be shot :p

There are a few rules though, and there'll be more than one convention thread so that we can all have a go without having a huge mishmash of craziness. There will be six guest speakers at each con, and convention-goers will be able to pick their brains about their roles in SW-Fans and the threads they were in/are currently in.

If we need to, we can have more conventions so even more people can include their characters. I just ran out of ideas for convention names ^_^;



The rules
If your character isn't a guest speaker, than your role in the thread can be one or more of the convention-goers, and it's entirely up to you whether you wish to be an overly geeky, fanatical fan, or a more casual follower.
Dressing room bickering is actively encouraged :p
The panel is split up into groups of three over the period of the first two days.
On the third and last day all of the guest speakers gather to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.Any takers?

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Don't forget the nightly parties where people get drunk/stoned/sexed up.

;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

:lol Haha, this is hilarious.

So am I understanding this correctly, I would be playing... the actor who plays Dasquian Belargic? As if Dasq was the character in a TV series?

[Razielle Alastor]

:lol that is awesome guys.

;) 'Course I'll play.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Put me down as Salem Ave :D

[Lianna Mal Pannis]

omg :lol this sounds hilarious. I'm in ... I guess as Miranda/Lianna ^_^

[Fieron Marzullo]

You can put me down for....


Hmm...


Kelly Perris. I'd just have too much fun doing this with him. :lol

[Karl Valten]

Oh, hell yes. Put Karl down and Naomi down for Empire in LA.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

With the exception of Karl, what conventions were ya'll wanting?

[Dasquian Belargic]

For Salem... ideally somewhere with the likes of Razielle and LD (if she is showing up). I'm guessing it would make sense for them to appear together :)

[Jacinda Blake]

Uhh.. I have no idea. Let me get with my travel agent.:p

[Dasquian Belargic]

I editted in where Dasq and Salem will be.

[Lianna Mal Pannis]

I have no idea where Miranda/Lianna would be =\

[Kelly Perris]

Put me in either at Portland or GalaxyCon. Your choice.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

LD will show up in New York, Arya in Portland. :wofl

[Knight Staedtler]

(young) Wyl will show up anywhere. :)

And this is the coolest idea ever. :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

What, no one wants to come to LA with Dasq? :(

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I just realized (like an idiot) that GalaxyCon and Empire are both in LA. Anyone have any objections to me moving it to London? ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Ohhh yes put me in London :D

[Lianna Mal Pannis]

oooooh ....Dasq in London? Count Grace in London too ;)

Stick Miranda/Lianna anywhere

[Naomi Lang]

*pokes S'il*

Lang, Naomi Lang :p

Scothis as a last name is for the 'Year's from Now" RP only.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Haha, oops ^_^;

Thanks Das :)

[Parsideon Denix]

Sanis in Portland (Ron Fallan)
Cirrsseeto in New York (Deshawn Creel)
Callomas Savoc (Peter Szechwynsky)

[Elektra Kathian]

Juliya Chernetsky for Ashe Sieris at Empire in LA

[Dasquian Belargic]

Added Vega to Portland, and the actors names for my chars :)

[Karl Valten]

Whoo, on more for the Imp convention.

[Kale]

So, is this taking place in Gen RP or SW?

[Travis North]

This sounds awesome.

Spot me in at New York. Place could use an Imperial presence. :P

[Kelly Perris]

Keir McCallum for Kelly Perris

[Itala Marzullo]

This would be fun except that playing the actual Joaquin Phoenix would have been a blast, and since I'm sure he would not give a flying rat about anyone impersonating him in a SW message board, I can't do it.

Seriously, how many SW (add everything else besides SW too) rp websites have been shut down for playing official characters? None, ever. I seriously don't get this copyright rule, it's not even copyright infrigment anyway, since the whole thing is obviously fan fiction.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Well, personally I am not interested in RPing as Orlando Bloom. I'd much rather invent an actor persona. If nothing else, I'd feel kind of weird RPing as Orlando o_O

[Karl Valten]

Yeah, I'd be RPing as Rico from Killzone. How the heck do I RP a video game character. I could go with the voice acter but that would just be odd.

Josh Harmon for Karl Valten

and

Lynn Wilkinson for Naomi Lang

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

So, is this taking place in Gen RP or SW?

I really don't know ^_^;

My first instinct would be to put them in SW, but that's just me. If you guys would rather have them in Gen RP it's all good :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

I would think Gen RP would make more sense.

[Dante Marzullo]

It would take skill to play Orlando Bloom, just have him act like Legolas. :D

[Wyl Staedtler]

That would be creepy.

Brandon Spencer Davies as "Wyl Staedtler", btw :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

This would be fun except that playing the actual Joaquin Phoenix would have been a blast, and since I'm sure he would not give a flying rat about anyone impersonating him in a SW message board, I can't do it.

Seriously, how many SW (add everything else besides SW too) rp websites have been shut down for playing official characters? None, ever. I seriously don't get this copyright rule, it's not even copyright infrigment anyway, since the whole thing is obviously fan fiction.
If you don't have anything better to do than complain about our rules perhaps you'd better refrain from posting?

[Mu Satach]

This sounds like such fun, I wish I had time to join it.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Bump, I say! Bump!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Whichever con is filled up first gets to start first :)

Also, I figure if there are people on your panel that you want to ask questions of also, you can go ahead and be a guest at the con as well. If that makes any sense ^_^;

[Knight Staedtler]

Heeeeeeeey, how come we never did this? :(

[Kelly Perris]

That sure is something I'D like to know...We demand answers!

[Fiona Devlin]

Because they've been waiting to book Sorsha, that's why! :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's true. No con is complete without some Hudsss-er-Sorsha! ^_^;

[Nicolas Mason]

Question?

If we play fans and ask questions are we restricted to only questions involve post reset or can we ask pre reset questions as well?

My thinking is post reset is the new series and pre is the old series. Kind of like TOS (Star Trek Orginal series) and TNG (Star trek Next Generation).

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

That sounds like a good idea :)

[Keeva]

so add Sorsha (aka Laura Shannon) to L.A. Con. ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

And that clinches it - Empire in L.A. will be the first out of the gate.

I'm half-tempted to make separate accounts for the fans ^_^;

[Blade Bacquin]

Portland Sci-Con Blade Ice (Aka Levon Mitchell Gavenrow)

[O.W. Outcast]

GalaxyCon: London
OW oucast (Voiced by James Greenwood.)

[Tirsa]

GalaxyCon - Tirsa Krylana (Deena Vincent)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Alright, the lineup then is:

1. Empire
2. Sci-Con
3. GalaxyCon
4. Bazaar


Unless you guys just wanna throw them all out there and do them at once. Doesn't matter to me :)

[Laura Shannon]

Laura Shannon ...

[Deena Vincent]

... and Deena Vincent, officially reged and ready for the Cons!!! :D

[Levon Gavenrow]

The guy who plays Blade is up. :P

[James Greenwood]

OW's voice actor is up.

[Joanes Quez]

The face behind Kelly Perris is up. ;)

[Karl Valten]

Josh Harmon and Lynn Wilkinson are up for the Imperial convention as Karl and Naomi.

[Miranda Tarkin]

[Stevie Baker]

"Just nod, smile, and pretend you like the 5,000 word fanfiction that crazy man gave you... wait what? You spend 4,995 pages doing what to who???"

-Stevie Baker

[Kerri Paladoris]

Kerri Paladoris: A blonde disguised as a brunette. Who'd have thought that the woman who plays one of the Empire's more scheming, cunning, and downright mean puppetmasters regularly locks herself in the car?

[Fletch Fraser-Darling]

Resident heart-throb, reporting for duty :cool:

[Ethan Archer]

Portland, here I come... :grumble

[Samuel Sutton]

... and last but by no means least, the Dark Lord himself.

:)

-hogties-:D

[Levon Gavenrow]

I'm a Darker lord then you. :p

[Ethan Archer]

I'm a Darker lord then you. :p

:twak

[Levon Gavenrow]

Ouch!

Remember boy I killed the orginal Vega and I can kill you. :P

[Vicki Alterson]

Guess I am all ready for the LA Con :D

[Emily Devereaux]

So ... here I am

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Uh oh; looking at the la con list, does anyone know if Ashe Sieris is still about?

[Christina Melvoin]

No idea

but here's Emily's co-star from Chicago by Night.

Yep, we're gonna do WoDCon as a seperate event. ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Oohhh, WoDCon! Which character should I bring? :D

[Christina Melvoin]

Crowley. He can rock out the ballroom Saturday night. ;)

[Jeseth Cloak]

Shame on you for leaving SW-Fans.Net's original bad boy out off the list. I'm just kidding actually, I hadn't been active in such a long time that I can't blame you.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I didn't put anyone on the list, dingdong, they volunteered :p

Though it seems as though one of the peeps for the la con is long-absent, so you could take her place :)

[Jeseth Cloak]

Pffft. Volunteer? What happened to the SW-Fans.Net draft? In any case, I'd love to do it. Hm... I have to have a fictitious actor name, eh? I think I'll go with Bill O'Reilly - no, I'm joking - how about Oliver Dermont? That sounds just fine to me.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Oh, we never really stopped drafting people, just got sneakier and started tricking them into volunteering ;)

[Karl Valten]

Oh, we never really stopped drafting people, just got sneakier and started tricking them into volunteering ;)

I are conned??!!!!!

[Joanes Quez]

Oh, we never really stopped drafting people, just got sneakier and started tricking them into volunteering ;)

I are conned??!!!!!

Only because you're so gulliable... :rolleyes

[Maggie Greenwood]

Maggie Greenwood as Varla. Book her for New York.

And when are things gonna start? :crack

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Ok guess I need some fictional names for my 'actresses.'

Portland
Arya Ravenwing - Elle Harper

NY
Lilaena De'Ville - Molly Christopherson

[Fiona Devlin]

Shame on all of you for forgetting this. Let's get cracking!!! :crack

[Kelly Perris]

Amen to that. :twak

[Fletch Fraser-Darling]

What she said. I want to meet my adoring fans :D

[Jeseth Cloak]

I didn't forget... I've just been waiting. ^_^

[Tri'ahna Zylary]

I want, I want - if I still can, then enter me for GalaxyCon London: Nya Halcyon, as Lilian Sharpe

[Aestiva Ni'Liatoth]

Aestiva (Christina Melvoin) for New York Fans Bazaar.

and somebody, anybody, start something!!! :twak

[Christina Melvoin]

[Dasquian Belargic]

Go for it.

I might throw Daria into the mix somewhere..

[Naomi Lang]

[Jennifer Graeme]

Just crashed the convention... thought another good-guy was needed :mneh

[Miranda Tarkin]

Yay!!! :dance

[Josh Harmon]

Holy crap, is Josh the only guy on the panel?

[Miranda Tarkin]

Jeseth is supposed to be there too but he hasn't posted yet :) But so far, you're the mac daddy! :D

[Karl Valten]

I'm a player, what can I say

[Kahlen Rondot]

Oi, sorry, I kinda just jumped into the thread.

Ne who, Kahlen Rondot for Danni Reyok

[Sorsha Kasajian]

What could have been. :lol If only the Con threads had flown. :mneh

[Wyl Staedtler]

It would have been so fun. I wanted to play the egotastic child actor diva with his trailer-trash fame-seeking mother backing him up. :(

[Dasquian Belargic]

Haha, oh Liz :love
