YAOI-CON IS HITTING THE ROAD!
Not content to keep all the good stuff to ourselves, Yaoi-Con is hitting the road to bring the best in yaoi (as well, of course, as up to the minute information about the con) to an event near you! First up, Yaoi-Con will be venturing up the coast for Sakura-Con on March 26-28. Look for us in the Dealers' Room at booths 717, 719, 721 and 723!

Sharpen your pencils and stretch out your typing fingers, because our popular fiction contest returns this year, better than ever. Choose from five exciting prompts and give it your best shot! The deadline for the fiction contest will be July 31, 2008. Due to the earlier timing of Yaoi-Con this year there will be NO extensions of the deadline.
