Here is a list of all my convention reviews. I started attending conventions in 2009 and since then I have appeared at over 150 conventions, spanning fandom-specific weekend events (such as those organised by 'Starfury' and 'Rogue'), signing events, and 'Comic Cons'. All events from 2009-2012 weren't reviewed as this was before the blog existed and many events from 2018-2024 also weren't reviewed because life got hella busy!
The amount of detail, trivia facts, notes, and titbits contained within these reviews cannot be overstated. I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading them. If you see me at a convention (I'm usually at 15+ a year in the U.K. and the odd overseas event), please don't be afraid to say 'hi'. I rarely bite hard.
Firstly, there is a list of all the individual conventions, complete with who I met, the rating I gave the convention, and a link to my detailed review of the event.
A red rating is a low score (0-4), yellow is a neutral score (4.5-7.5), and green is a high score (8-10).
Finally, below all of that, we have my links to yearly reviews. This is where I assign my 'Convention of the Year', compare the similarities and differences between events, and offer advice.
(Yes, this is me. Taken from the 'Wales Comic Con' website. Still one of my finest achievements)
