Beloved for many reasons Lord of the Rings is a time honored classic. What better way to honor his work than by nerding out about his conlangs? youtu.be/sKDUEcV60OI #crossingscon #youngwizards #literaryconvention #bookconvention #speculativefiction #scificonvention #fantasyconvention

Well met on the journey! Cousins, we love all the interesting panels, the fun and games, and the chance to add to our unending to-read list, but by far the best part of Con is seeing all of you. So it's fitting that next con's theme is "Well met on the journey."

A stepping stone design showing greenery, a stone archway, and a campfire. The top reads "CrossingsCon August 14-15, 2027 Hampton Inn Philadelphia PA". The middle reads "Well met on the journey". The bottom reads "#CrossingsCon2027 crossingscon.org"

It's so hot the only thing I want to do is lay by the beach. Barbie's Ken had the right idea: my job should be beach. #crossingscon #youngwizards #literaryconvention #bookconvention #speculativefiction #scificonvention #fantasyconvention

Ten years ago, the first ever CrossingsCon took place in Newark, NJ from June 24-26, 2016. We started just planning a meetup at another con, and look at us now! Ten years of memories, five in person conventions (and one virtual one), and more friends than we can count!

Since it's so hot, a movie night sounds pretty good. And since it's pride month, it should be a queer movie, right? Leave your suggestions below! #crossingscon #youngwizards #literaryconvention #bookconvention #speculativefiction #scificonvention #fantasyconvention

What kind of weapon would you use against zombies, assuming that they are attracted by noise? For me, I'm leaning towards a rapier or a spear or other kind of polearm. #crossingscon #youngwizards #literaryconvention #bookconvention #speculativefiction #scificonvention #fantasyconvention

It’s that time of the year where our Con or Bust applications have massively outstripped our resources to support them. We have some great opportunities to send folks of colour to life changing opportunities. Help make that happen. Donate today! dreamfoundry.org/con...

Geologists have long debated whether a formation in Canada contains the world’s oldest rocks. New measurements suggest it does – and that these rocks are the last remains of Earth’s primordial crust
