Lubricus Reunion is Postponed  
Lubricus Reunion is Postponed

Towards the beginning of 2019, the Con Com convened to start concocting what many Lubricus attendees have been asking for on a regular basis: a Lubricus Reunion Con. We originally planned for this convention to happen in October 2020. In March of 2020, we decided to postpone the convention until 2021 given the uncertainty around the spread of COVID-19 and anxiety about the US election. Meanwhile, many con attendees were feeling increasingly disenfranchised by JK Rowling’s transphobic tirades in the media. In February 2021, although we now have “adults in the room at the White House” and COVID vaccine on the horizon, the future is still uncertain. Many con attendees may not be able to attend a Fall of 2021 con due to health conditions and/or economic uncertainty as a result of the pandemic. In order to address the needs of those attendees and uphold our values of safety and inclusivity, we will be postponing the Lubricus Reunion indefinitely.

We’ve made this decision with a heavy heart primarily because we want all Lubricus attendees to feel and be safe at our events. In addition, we also acknowledge that attending fan conventions might be an expense that becomes lower priority during times of financial stress. Luckily, we were able to renegotiate with the hotel and should be in a strong financial position to host a convention once it’s safe and possible for everyone. Further, postponing the convention gives us time to think creatively about how to make the convention a safe and healing space for trans attendees and allies who feel triggered by current events.

For those who have already purchased registrations for 2021, we will be refunding 100% of your registration price between now and March 1, 2021. If you don’t see a refund by that date, please send us a note at at registration@bf4f.org. If we don’t hear from you, we will assume that you’ve received your refund.

Please see the updated web site for additional details and stay tuned to Lubricus social media for additional announcements about the Lubricus Reunion Con and other related BF4F activities. Stay safe, healthy, and slashy everyone!

Lubricus 2020: The Reunion will be a slash-filled weekend chock full of squee, old friends and new, smut, arts/crafts, food, dancing, and so much more! Programming is entirely attendee-driven, so that means you get to decide what kind of content you want to have at the con. Here are the key details you need to know…

Dates: October 29, 2020 to November 1, 2020

Location: Crowne Plaza Portland

Costs: Base registration starts at $140 with increasing levels of sponsorship registration


What is this con all about?

The Con That Shall Not Be Named (aka Lubricus) is a fan-inspired and fan-run wizarding slash convention presented by By Fans 4 Fans. Although the first two iterations of Lubricus were limited to Harry Potter slash, Lubricus 2020 will be mutlifandom. Because attendees get to determine the Slashy programming, we can't say what will be featured yet, but expect to see Doctor Who, Marvel/Avengers, Sherlock, Star Trek, Star Wars, Supernatural, and many more. Remember, you get to decide!

CALL FOR CONVENTION PHOTOS - LUBRICUS. FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL. NOPE.  
So, heeeeey. Looking for photos taken at any of these events:

--> June 2011 Lubricus Con, Seattle, WA
--> August 2012 Lubricus Con, Seattle, WA
--> June 2013 LeakyCon Mini Lube, Portland, OR


You can just drop them here on this post (ie link me to a journal or tumblr entry for the con) or email them to byfans4fan@gmail.com

PLEASE NOTE: If you submit any photos with people, one of two things must happen: Permission from all parties must be given to use said photos online, or if not, then happy face emoticons may be used to protect the innocent. And by "happy face" emoticons, we probably mean "Dick Pics", if [info]tripperfunster has any say in it.


Um, hi? *waves*
