Via Jay Lake I discover this post which explains why science fiction conventions are doomed. Before you all rush over there, however, I should point out that Bill Burns has already written the following in comments:
None of the conventions mentioned are science fiction cons – they’re all media conventions with paid guests.
Which I guess explains everything.
Thanks for this. Very interesting, indeed!
We have already been wondering what shall happen after the wildest Anime and manga fan things are over. It looks that the amount of the visitors of Finncon has not dimished, on the contrary.
