Sherlock fan updates!!! 6/15/2020

June 15, 2021 Screamers Leave a comment

Greetings fellow Sherlock fans!

Above photo of my John Watson and I in Valley Forge…

As always I’ve been extremely slow here… Because of that, I’m going to cancel any Sherlock Meet-Ups I had planned for this year. Instead, I plan to focus more on getting in touch with my fellow fans online again. Then maybe plan some London trips in the future! London Comic Con has mentioned our coming back with a fan table, something I’d love to look into for next year!

I’m also planning to do more spotlights, something I’ve been lacking in… For those interested, I also have a few badges with pins left over from last year. Those interested, leave a comment below or message me if you know me personally. -Rose aka Blogger

CONVENTIONS

Things are slowly getting back to normal, some our personal favorites.

Remember conventions?! We do, and we’re bringing ours back to you in 2021!

Get ready for the *return* of Retro Con, scheduled for September 25th & 26th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA! Over 225 vendor tables of retro and retro-inspired collectibles on sale, including such toyline favorites as Transformers, GI Joe, Masters of the Universe, TMNT, ThunderCats, Star Wars, and MASK. You can also expect to find such memorabilia as video games, comic books, lunchboxes, diecast cars, dolls/plush, custom 2D/3D art, board games, and much more. If you’ve got the collector bug, our eclectic group of vendors are bound to have something for you!

Retro Con is more than just a toy show though! We also feature special guests, panels, contests, raffles, costumes, tv/movie cars and props, and video games. If retro geek stuff is your thing, we’re the perfect hangout for the day or weekend- all at an affordable price. Come for the toys… stay for the atmosphere!

Keep watching our pages for future show updates!

Sherlock Convention Update

March 25, 2020 Screamers Leave a comment

This of course was posted on The Game Is Never Over convention page! CONVENTION UPDATES 3-22-20

First off we’d like to say we hope everyone is well and that you’re staying safe. Although we’ve been slow on updates due to work commitments, we are constantly working on ideas for the event.

We are now planning SWAG BAGS for our pre-registered fans, which will include coupons, Sherlock buttons/pins, a special lanyard, and a special print. For those interested in adding something extra to these swag bags, feel free to contact us at skids1985@comcast.net

A Game Of Murder… We’ll be posting a new convention game shortly, one which requires a sign-up sheet since there’s limited spacing. This game will also offer something extra special for each player, a custom keepsake to take home.

We are also working on a Trivia Contest with lots of prizes, a T-Shirt Contest, and a Tea Party! Again always working on something new!

We’re adding something extra special for our fanfiction contest! Many have asked that we do not share their stories with Hartswood Films, that they would like to keep their stories more private. So instead, we will be offering a signed script. More details soon!

T-Shirt Update!

We may put a permanent link up to purchase T-shirts.

SHERLOCK ARTISTS

February 11, 2020 Screamers Leave a comment

Convention updates continue as this blogger continues to be busy! Recent announcements include this Artist Announcement! If you’re an ARTIST and interested in being a part of the event, please feel free to contact us!

We’ll be sharing our favorite stories, interviews, and art again soon!!! -Blogger

Since we are a fan convention that’s celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Sherlock we would love to see more art! So we ask that you consider sharing it!

Artistic plans for our Event include:

An Artist Panel: Spotlighting the fandom and the art that’s blossomed from it throughout the years. Fans, of course, will be credited and links will be added!
Art Contest: For those attending, we also plan to have an art contest. We may extend that online as well!
Art Donations: For those interested in either donating art for our charity auction, or for our trivia contest, please feel free to contact us! Your store and online media links will be posted on the site, along with anything extra you’d like us to add.
Artist & VendorTables: For those interested in selling, we have limited space left. [12 spots] so please contact us if interested, first come basis. Learn more on our Vendor page!

Although this event is geared towards Sherlock, we plan to take things beyond the BBC series. Other named items that will go over well include Supernatural, The Hobbit (LOTR), Doctor Who, Marvel Avengers/Doctor Strange, Good Omens, Star Trek, and Dracula BBC. [Most of these are mentioned because they somehow have connections with the actors of Sherlock’s BBC series, so they would be popular, and of course, there are the SuperWhoLock fans, that enjoy Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock.

Questions? Feel free to email us at skids1985@comcast.net
