Welcome, welcome, one and all, to The Geekiary’s new Summer Cosplay Series! I’m going to try to bring you an interview with a different cosplayer every Friday for [at least] the rest of the summer, so if you cosplay or know someone who does, and you’d like to be interviewed for our series, please email […]

Let’s be real, anything that uses an apostrophe to preface the word ship has pretty much lost all fandom credibility to begin with. We know it’s a contraction of the word relationship, it has been for over 20 years. Beyond that, the whole concept of the big media companies exploiting fandom for profit is always […]

GISHWHES starts August 2nd this year.  Time to stock up on Kale, buy discount feminine hygiene product in bulk, and prepare to convince your clergy friends to do some ridiculous things.  The Elopus is ready to lift our spirits and we’re all waiting for words of wisdom from Miss Jean Louise.

Valentine’s Day is a day to acknowledge all the love in our lives, but one aspect of love that is often overlooked is self love.  Ellen Page in her speech at the Time to Thrive Conference on Valentine’s Day for the Human Rights Campaign talked about working in an industry that demands a perfection that […]

Actor Orlando Jones completely destroyed any vestige of the fourth wall when he dove head first into the Sleepy Hollow fandom.
