OMG, this is happening!
The Wee Con will be back this year: 6th to 8th November 2026 at the Social Hub in Glasgow!
βIt's a lovely modern venue with great accessibility, lots of spaces and several places to eat on site. It's also a hotel, so attendees will be able to stay on site. (We will also be getting discount codes for accommodation, so hold fire on booking!)β
I think tickets will be available via a Kickstarter campaign again, which they're planning to launch asap.
Prices (as per their Tumblr post linked below):
Full event tickets - Β£140 (with discounted rates on hotel and parking through the venue)
Saturday/Sunday only - Β£110
One day tickets - Β£80
Online only - Β£30
There will also be a pay-it-forward option again, including for full tickets.

βThere are 3 queer characters listed for this showβ
(They obviously mean female & non-binary characters... But didn't count Archie? π (Unfortunately I don't have an Archie version of this meme lol))
OK last little bonus post about Ed Teach's breakup fringe: these edits by xray-vex on tumblr π€
But my first thought when I saw this was βWait, there's a fanfic for that already!β (And looking at the replies to David's post, I'm delighted to see a lot of people had the same thought π)
It's one of the most hilarious and unhinged fics I have ever read, and it features lots of adorable β and suitably silly β art as well!

He also boosted this π David's late to the party tbh, the fandom's been having fun with this same idea for a while!
