DEV-EX: A Fandom Convention (OOC)

Postby Katase » Sun Oct 06, 2024 9:32 am





Hello, Hello, Hello! Welcome to DX (Devotee Expo) Fandom Convention for all things entertainment across the NSverse. It's like a real fandom convention only no risk of catching something! It is Katases Premier convention for all things, film, TV, games, anime, manga, art and more and you're invited! The idea of this thread is to be like any major convention you may or may not have been to, where you get to buy merchandise, meet celebrities, nerd out with other fans! Not only that, use this convention to establish your nations entertainment canon and celebs. Therefor I ask you rely entirely on your own fiction and not pull from IRL. You can be inspired by IRL but don't claim you're William Shatner for example. And it'll be safe to assume your media is well known regardless of you've set it up ICly before or just something you spontaneously pull from thin air for this. But if you simply want to be an attendee, that's fine too. I haven't really seen anything like this at NS before so I'm sort of trying to figure out as I go. I welcome ideas and feedback.

Hosted at the Shima Convention Center in the city of Rin, a bustling port side city in Katase. Easy rail access from the airport, walk around the sprawling complex. The vendors hall to buy all your favorite merchandise, Artist Alley to show off your premium artwork, Celebrity Central, for your autographs, individual meeting rooms for gatherings and panels.

The convention center

Few Rules:

-NO REAL LIFE FRANCHISES/IPs. whether you're playing a special guest, attendee, vendor, etc. I mean if you want to make your own version of insert real life IP here, by all means, but I just want to see some creativity is all.
-Family friendly convention, so nothing more than PG-13. It's the forum rules anyway.
-No violence, no terrorism, no trolling. You're not blowing up the convention center.
-Not so much a hard rule but a request is for those who maybe are doubling as an attendee and a guest, please don't bubble yourself. Even if you haven't "heard of" of x media from x nation, it'd get awfully boring if nobody ventured to see the other guests and events.
-Do note, right now there's no cap on your apps but if I get more special guests than just attendees I'll cut it off for a while.
-in your app, please write "I've paid for the weekend premium pass" at the end.
-Katase/Abetton NPCs, guests belong to me. That said, you can say "I caught the cosplay and took a picture"

This is an interesting idea, and I look forward to see how this plays out! I have several apps in mind.

One question, though. Why is the convention named as it is? I thought this was for computer scientists and software engineers, haha!

Oh, this sounds like a fun one. Count me in, maybe with large plans, maybe with smaller ones!
Before I go for a full app, though, a number of questions, Katase:
    1. I am currently undecided between Marla and Comharta. Which of the two has a chance of being known in Katase - and well known enough to warrant a convention appearance of some of the larger people involved in it?
    2. I plan for a toy manufacturer to come with a huge pile of plushies of Selkie Animals as a vendor, either as a tie-in with Marla or independently. Would you be okay with that?
    3. I would also like to have a few normal visitors in this. As I don't feel too comfortable with sending people around the globe for this - how would you feel about a small Selkie-Community in Katase?

More questions might come up. ; )

Lol it does sound like some kind of programmers event doesn't it? I picked it to sound catchy. Devotee is a synonym for Fan, and Ex for Expo so it just seemed to fit. Hope to see you.

1. Your call, you can bring both or one or the other depending on what you feel is best. I assume all submissions have some level of notability at least.

2. A Toy company would be perfect for this, simply fill out the Vendor app.

3. I like the idea a lot of a Selkie community within Katase. It also fits if you want them based in the city of Rin, where this convention is being hosted, given Rin was a foreign leased city for 99 years. It's apart of Katase now but it stands to reason other small communities could have made home at any point. That's only my suggestion, they can be from anywhere in Katase so I welcome it.

2. Understood.

3. That does sound like a fun idea. So Rin was basically like Hong Kong?

In general, apps will be coming later today/tomorrow, I should really go to bed... ''^^

I'd like to bring two members of a very well known band from my nation. Just one thing: one of them is now the head of state (she was appointed very recently, so most people still associate her with the band). But of course, she'll be there strictly in her personal role as lead vocalist of her band, not as a politician. Would this be any issue?

I see. Now, I'm thinking of whether or not to have one of my attendees be dumb enough to assume that this is a convention for software engineers and hackers, hehe.

Before I send in attendees, I have several questions:
  1. What exact details are you looking for in "fan interest"?
  2. How do we present the songs from a band's discography ICly?
  3. How are we going to commence the IC for this event?

While you're answering these, here's my first two apps. More to come soon.

You are accepted. And to answer questions, this I'll be pretty open on to how anyone would like to run such a thing. You want to write a wall of text go ahead. You want "Audience participation" like a Q&A I'll allow a little access to my characters or other faceless NPCs of Katase in attendance, within reason. You want to collab with me or any other person here that would be good too.

Folaisia wrote:I see. Now, I'm thinking of whether or not to have one of my attendees be dumb enough to assume that this is a convention for software engineers and hackers, hehe.

Before I send in attendees, I have several questions:

What exact details are you looking for in "fan interest"?
How do we present the songs from a band's discography ICly?
How are we going to commence the IC for this event?


While you're answering these, here's my first two apps. More to come soon.

Your first batch are accepted now let me see if I can answer your questions:

1. really what is your character interested in, like movie, TV, anime, this helps me tailor events made by me to draw your characters to you and i I make more native Katase special guests. Think it also helps you find events by the other RPers here you might find interesting.

2. I'll probably be a bit flexible on the No IRL stuff here and borrow a rule from World Hit Festival ,where you can use a real song as your base but aspects like the lyrics should be your own. No need to write a whole song it's okay to hand wave things away. If you're asking how to list your band's work, really just like your noted albums like "Bright Side of the Moon", and that sort of stuff. Just your best known work. On stage just perform how you want to perform even if you don't want to present any songs and just say "They played a slamming rock song and got the crowd all fired up"

3. Not sure what you're asking here? How will the IC operate? I will try to spring up little events on my own and those guests who are intending to host events like concerts or panels can write up posts. I hope I answered at least your questions but if you still have them keep asking. I'm really figuring this out as I go.

Great, glad to be aboard!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how panels are supposed to work, as I've never been to one IRL. But my idea would be to do it like a summit or conference (but not as formal), where the artists can discuss all things related to the industry. As an example, even though Bjørk is there to represent her band, she's also quite familiar with the gamer and hacker cultures in her country, and has a lot to share about that.

Thank you. I look forward to being there! : )

Now, as mentioned previously, I plan to have a few "Katasan Diaspora Selkie" in attendance. You mentioned, that Rin was sort of like Hong Kong once and were generally okay with the idea.
My second idea in that regard would be, that the KDSs are basically the descendants of Selkie Sailors and Merchants (and pirates ; )), who made these waters their home in the xth century (which raises the question, when would we put the beginning of that?).
My second idea is, that these KDSs are the descendants of Selkie-Mercenaries, who fought for various Katasan lords and ladies in centuries long gone and settled down in the land or founded families there. The Selkie do boast, that they were among the best light and medium cavalries, which money could buy, after all. ; )
Third idea, at the end of the 19th century, or more specifically from 1888 to 1893, there was a massive famine in what would become the Free Lands. The idea now is, that the KDSs are the descendants of these Selkie Refugees.
Which one would you prefer? Of course, I am also willing to go for something more modern (expats due to job chances and there being no larger community at all, for example, making them first generation Katasan Selkie) or a combination of ideas. I am also open if you have ideas, which suit you better.
I play PT, MT and a bit FT. I am into character-RPs.

That's exactly what panels at IRL Cons are like. Some panels are ran by the artist themselves, they may discuss aspects of their work, a specific work and sometimes they may just open it up as a Q&A. And some panels are hosted by convention goers about a particular topic they want to talk about, like writing or something.

Oh great, glad I could, I was also pretty tired yesterday lol so didn't know if I was writing clearly. As for IC, that will be up probably this weekend while still allowing new apps.

I think the late 19th Century works very well as it'd be just after Katase's War with neighboring Abetton so we'd be wanting people to help rebuild the nation. Gives you long standing roots in the nation as well. Also up for more recent expats being around as well even your own Spiorad Ainmhithe finding settlement in Katase be it Rin or other places within the nation. Port city so plenty of reason for wayward sailors and travelers to end up there.

Now, as mentioned previously, I plan to have a few "Katasan Diaspora Selkie" in attendance. You mentioned, that Rin was sort of like Hong Kong once and were generally okay with the idea.
My second idea in that regard would be, that the KDSs are basically the descendants of Selkie Sailors and Merchants (and pirates ; )), who made these waters their home in the xth century (which raises the question, when would we put the beginning of that?).
My second idea is, that these KDSs are the descendants of Selkie-Mercenaries, who fought for various Katasan lords and ladies in centuries long gone and settled down in the land or founded families there. The Selkie do boast, that they were among the best light and medium cavalries, which money could buy, after all. ; )
Third idea, at the end of the 19th century, or more specifically from 1888 to 1893, there was a massive famine in what would become the Free Lands. The idea now is, that the KDSs are the descendants of these Selkie Refugees.
Which one would you prefer? Of course, I am also willing to go for something more modern (expats due to job chances and there being no larger community at all, for example, making them first generation Katasan Selkie) or a combination of ideas. I am also open if you have ideas, which suit you better.


I think the late 19th Century works very well as it'd be just after Katase's War with neighboring Abetton so we'd be wanting people to help rebuild the nation. Gives you long standing roots in the nation as well. Also up for more recent expats being around as well even your own Spiorad Ainmhithe finding settlement in Katase be it Rin or other places within the nation. Port city so plenty of reason for wayward sailors and travelers to end up there.

I use the Spiorad sparingly these days, generally, so let's leave that one to the side for now, if you don't mind.
Late 19th century I can do. I imagine Selkie fleeing the famine winding up in Katase is not unlikely. They'd mostly be farmers and their families, and with them more and new workforces: Bricklayers, miners, workers in general.
Would you be alright with that?
I play PT, MT and a bit FT. I am into character-RPs.
My people are called the Selkie, the nation is usually called the Free Lands in MT-settings. Thanks.

Sounds good to me, works very nicely.

Decent start but few things before i accept your app, review the rules a little more carefully, (hint, you're missing something), a picture would be nice if and when you can provide one but I won't hold you to that too much, and please give a few more details about your author.
