fanworksAs the con approaches, so too does the digital con! All attending and digital members will have full access to the digital (website-based) side of the con weekend. (If you purchased anything that says "supporting" membership on the receipt, that's the same as a digital membership.)
Accessing the Digital Con
The digital con kicks off on Thursday, August 15th at 8:00PM Eastern. Access for all members is through your FanWorks dashboard.
You'll need to log in to see your dashboard. If you have purchased a membership of any kind, you already have an account on the FanWorks website; make sure you use that account to log in. If you have an account but don't have a membership, you still have a website dashboard, but you won't have digital con access.
Once the digital con goes live on Thursday night, attending and digital members will automatically gain access on the dashboard. You don't have to enter a code, get a second password, etc. -- just log in to the FanWorks website with your membership account, and you'll see live updates on your dashboard throughout the con weekend.
Schedule and Streaming Vidshows
The con zine, featuring fic, art, and podfic, will go live on Thursday night, as will a full copy of the con program. Streaming vidshows will go live individually, timed to start when the vidshows start at the con. (For example: Introductions, which starts Friday at 1:00PM at the con, will be available for streaming starting Friday at 1:00PM Eastern.)
Once vidshow streams have gone live, they will be available on demand; any vidshow that has debuted at the con will be available for playback at any time.
All digital content will remain available for at least 90 days following the con.
How to Purchase a Digital Membership to FanWorks
Digital membership sales will remain open at least through the con weekend, so if you haven't yet purchased a membership, you can do so at any time up to and during the con itself. If you purchase a membership during the con weekend, your dashboard will automatically update with access to the digital con.
(If you already know you want to purchase a digital membership, we recommend that you do so by Sunday, August 11th. This is so that if you have any questions, we can take care of them for you before the con begins. Digital membership registrations are welcome at any time, but support for the registration process may be limited once the con begins, as staff will be busy on site.)
