#kiscon2019

If you've been to KiScon 2019 and took pics of the sockpuppet parade/contest (or just any pics of the sockpuppets, during crafting or in their completed state), could you please get in touch with us? We'd love to put together a little gallery. Please send your pics (with a brief title/description of what we are looking at, whether it's the sockpuppet you made or by someone else, plus the name under which you would like to be credited) to larissa @ kiscon.org

I am!  And I hope you will, too!  I attended in 2015 and it was an amazing experience.  I found my people!  I had lots of fun!  K/S all the time!  Meet authors and artists!  Be inspired!  Be a part of incredible discussions and enjoy an awesome vid show!  Yell at me to finish “Hiraeth”!

Greetings! We are in the process of adding past KiScon zine fics and art to our collection, but it would really help a lot if you add your own works that were created as part of the zine yourself. We love that there are so many!!! If your work is posted to AO3 you can add it to the collection here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/KiScon
