Statement of ArCon staff, regarding the second annual ArchiveCon convention for fans of Rusty Quill’s The Magnus Archives. Statement recorded 22/12/08 by the Official ArchiveCon Tumblr.

Hey archival assistants, avatars, and everyone in between!
Welcome to the official Tumblr for ArchiveCon 2023. We are proud to be hosting our SECOND ArchiveCon - a fan-lead, fan-run online mini convention for 18+ fans of the Rusty Quill horror podcast, The Magnus Archives.
Whether you are an old fan, a new fan, a deeply-rooted fandom denizen, or looking to make your first connections in our fan community, we hope you’ll join us. ArchiveCon may be online-only, but we’ve got all the energy and features of a traditional offline convention - everything from panels and special guests (our humble 2022 beginnings featured appearances by the ever-wonderful Alasdair Stuart and Marguerite Kenner!), to cosplay and games, streaming and discussion, and even an Artist’s Alley.
Here’s the quick rundown:
- June 16-18, 2023 (that’s three days, folks - Friday to Sunday!)
- 18+, online only (Most areas of the con will be SFW, but you still must be 18+ to attend)
- FREE TO ATTEND! (Registration is required and must be done so before the convention starts; you can register here!)
- All events scheduled in EST, but all international fans are welcome and most panels (at the discretion of individual panelists) will be recorded for post-convention, on-demand viewing.
- Primarily focused on The Magnus Archives, but fans of all things horror, podcasting, and transformative works will find something to love. The Plain Old Curious are always welcome, too - we have to feed The Eye somehow, right? ;)

Are you an artist? A storyteller? A connoisseur of pulp fiction novels looking for an audience? ArchiveCon is here for you, beyond attendee registration. :)
Artists and artisans of all kinds are welcome (encouraged!) to apply for a slot in our Artists’ Alley. Do you take digital art commissions? Make soap? Knit hats? All of the above?? (Kudos to you, you must be using superhuman eldritch powers to get all that done.) We’d love to give you a place to showcase and sell your work, reach a like-minded audience, and network with fellow creatives.
Don’t have anything to sell, but want to share your passion for the world of The Magnus Archives and its fans? Then we’d love to chat with you about hosting a panel. ArchiveCon will host panels on a wide variety of subjects including (but not necessarily limited to!):
- deep dives and meta on TMA characters, plot points, history, and relationships (we love a detailed ship manifesto)
- queer identities in horror and fandom spaces
- the evolution/history of fandom culture
- fan creations and transformative works (such as zines, art, fic and fic-binding, cosplay - you name it)
- friendly discussions and debates
- technical tutorials and discussions on podcast production, streaming, sound editing, etc!
For more insight and ideas, check out last year’s program schedule!
Applications aren’t open quite yet, but we’ll update all our pages when they are. Hope to see you there!
