Welcome to The Geekiary’s fourth annual convention round up! Our 2017 conventions were many and varied, so sit back and enjoy highlights and stories from myself, Admin Angel, Bekah, and Jamie! Which 2017 conventions did you attend, and which one was your favorite? Tara: Every year I tell myself I’m going to cut back on […]

Part one of my “Game of Toxic Masculinity” panel report from Dragon Con 2017 wrapped up with a discussion of show runners Benioff and Weiss and how their own toxic masculinity effects the series. In that discussion I touched on Loras and how they portrayed his sexuality, and so I’ll begin part two by exploring […]

I’ve been lucky enough to take part in many Game of Thrones panels at Dragon Con throughout the years – every year since 2012, in fact – but this year, the new High Fantasy track really went above and beyond with their Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones offerings, including an awesome panel called […]

The Dragon Con community has been abuzz since yesterday, when the Sheraton Atlanta announced a price increase on booked (and pre-paid!) rooms for Dragon Con 2017. While there has been rampant speculation as to whether or not this rate hike is a scam, the vast majority of what we’re seeing is that sadly, it’s not.  […]

A couple of experiences I had at DragonCon 2016 while in my […]

Fandoms can be a tight knit, loving support system, or they can be the emotional equivalent of the Hunger Games. Thankfully, The 100 fandom is the former. I’ve noticed that there are few grey areas in certain fandoms, especially in regards to The 100 fandom. Many Bellarke shippers hate the Clexa shippers, and vice versa. […]

It’s been about two weeks since Dragon Con 2016 began, and tonight I was joined by fellow Geekiary writer Bekah and guests Andrew, Elena, and Judson to talk about the pros and cons of this year’s DCon! (First things first, I apologize that my giant head is so prominent throughout basically the entirety of this […]

Prior to my first Dragon Con in 2012, the only other convention I’d attended was Star Wars Celebration V in 2010. Needless to say, that one day at Celebration did not prepare me for the wonders of Dragon Con, and now that I’ve just attended my fifth Dragon Con, I have to say that the […]
