Below was posted on con-news.com just moments ago. It’s a pretty big deal as it gets us a print existence in the D20 girls magazine and more exposure. A great way to celebrate four years of the little site that could!

“I’m super excited to announce that The D20 Girls Project and Con-news.com have begun a press partnership to share our resources to better serve the fandom community.
Certain con-news articles will appear in the quarterly D20 magazine, and when available we will get reports from the D20 girls here on con-news.com. Con-news also now appears on the main hub of the D20 website.

A little about the D20 Girls from their website below,

“The D20 girls embody Confidence, Reliability, Intelligence, and a Strong Work Ethic. We break down stereotypes, We are NOT Barbie dolls. We do NOT come in one shape! We do NOT come in one size.

The D20 Girls is a semi-unique business that combines Social Networking, Talent Management, and Event Services. We currently have D20 Girls active in over 90% of the United States.

Yes, there is a business angle to what we do, but we also push the social aspect much needed in the industry. We arrange with vendors, artists, and conventions to hire D20 girls as booth help and trade show models at gaming, comic book and fandom related shows across the US.

Why? Our project is crucial, because the gaming industry and related fandoms should be promoted by girls who are actually a part of it – NOT over-paid models who know nothing about the industry, or the people who are a part of it.”

We look forward to working with the D20 Girls Project in the coming months and as always giving fandom more news on conventions throughout the United States. As always thanks for reading.

Wondering why my twitter feed has more links to con-news than it once did? Well, I recently had an offer that would have effectively ended the little web project of con-news that I started in 2007. And I couldn’t do it. Coming out of that, my fire is fueled to making the site even better. One of the ways to do that is an expanded readership. And so twitter comes into play. I thought about starting a new twitter feed for con-news, but then thought against it. I am con-news. Its part of the crazy world of luckycreature.com, and I am its main voice. So it goes with me, as do all these projects of Peas, my creatures, my stories, and before them, the records and zines. The below is what I wrote to the con-news readership just now. As always, thanks for the journey.

“Just wanted to thank Con-news readers since I haven’t done so in a while. For those of you who have been around since we started this in 2007, you’ve seen lots of changes, and I hope lots of improvements.
Some behind the scenes things happening have made me again realize how much I love the convention going community and how much I enjoy being your daily spot for convention news. But I want to do it better than ever for you. From now on if we have a new post, I will make it known on my twitter. I also want to thank Petrea Mitchell who has donated her time since near the beggining covering news and reporting from the west coast. As always you can always send me your reports to luckycreaturelabel@gmail.com and make sure your local conventions know about us, and to get us their news. Together we can make our fandoms accesible and continue con-news.com for everyone who goes to conventions! Thank YOU!”
