Also be on the lookout for some of my personal favorites, James Marsters, Alan Cumming, Alexis Denisoft, Anthony Head, Dean Stockwell, the Red Dwarf Crew, almost everyone associated with Doctor Who and some Star Wars folks! Take a look! [More]

Are you a convention fan? Have you been to a Lord of the Rings convention or taken part in a lining-up party? Perhaps you even organised one. If you have, join us this weekend and share your LoTR fan experience with us.
Perhaps you got to meet and talk to some of the cast or crew. You might well be an autograph hunter. Or perhaps you have a more scholarly bent. Or maybe, for you it’s all about the fun of catching up with fellow fans and enjoying the atmostphere. [More]
