Hullo all, time for an #Introduction.

We are The #Irish National #ScienceFiction Convention, #Octocon.

We are a #community and #fandom event run by #volunteers.

Our #website is https://www.octocon.com.

Every year we gather to talk about the #stories we love from #Film, #Tv, #Books, #Comics, #Anime and #VideoGames & sometimes we even #Cosplay.

For the day that’s in it, why not enjoy a free comic from Turning Roads, the Irish Folklore anthology from Limit Break Comics.

For centuries, giants walked the Earth, batting for glory. Now, humanity will continue their fight!

From myself & Colin Craker, please enjoy: THE CYCLE.

We're just a few days away from the launch of DOWN BELOW at Thought Bubble in Harrogate. To mark the occasion, here's a story from TURNING ROADS by myself and James Killian, with colours by TrΓ­ona Farrell.

I'm all about my folklore comics!

At some point, I will need to create a pinned and proper intro post for this site.

And also update my Twitter pinned post.

For now, I just want to get used to this platform and see what sorts of fun things we can do here.

(Being able to edit posts to fix typos is a big plus!)

I remain stuck on Hellsite jargon, so if I use the word 'tweet' at any point while I'm here, that's why.

In my defence, I've had an account there for over 13 years.

It took all of that time to pass 2K in followers. This feels like starting over in a not-fun way, but we'll all endure.

This post brought to you by the same phenomenon that caused Mastadon to see a spike in user numbers.

Now more than ever, comic creators need to know who's in their network.

I keep a list of Irish creators. It is constantly out of date, but more than most people have.

Happy to help folks find a collaborator whenever they're stuck, especially now with the Hellsite being on fire.

Toot toot...

I suppose we all ought to be using this platform a bit more, eh?
