Magnus is back, and so are we!
ArchiveCon is an 18+ virtual convention dedicated to The Magnus Archives, and, now, The Magnus Protocol. Come on down and creep into the basement of the Institute for three days of fandom, panels, guests, games, and more! This year, ArchiveCon will be held from June 21 - 23, 2024, Friday to Sunday.
FAQ
What is ArchiveCon?
This is an adults-only (18 and above), online-only, mini convention. It was spurred on by our love of podcasts (mainly TMA, but all sorts of others as well!) and all the marginalia fandom has to offer - from fanfiction to fanart, podfic to bookbinding, to the minutiae of sound editing and stitching - anything you enjoy goes! We aim to foster the spirit of creativity, learning, and freedom of expression.
​
Like any convention, there’ll be panels, discussion groups, an artist alley, streaming, and games - there’s a little something for everyone!
​
ArchiveCon will have a strong The Magnus Archives/Protocol bent, but we encourage fans of other Rusty Quill productions, outside audio dramas, and fandom-goers in general to join in as well.
​
Is the convention adults-only?
Yes. You must be 18 or older to attend the convention. However, this does not mean that panels and other activities will all be NSFW - this adults-only rule is merely to give our panelists and attendees more freedom in whatever they wish to discuss.
​
Is it free?
It sure is! All you’ll need is time and access to Discord, Zoom, and/or Twitch.
What timezone will you be in? And what are the hours?
ArchiveCon will be based in Pacific Standard Time (PST), and will take place from June 21 - 23rd - from Friday starting at 4:00 PM, until we finish on Sunday at 6:00 PM. To accommodate our international attendees, we allow panels to be held at any time during convention hours, and most panels will be recorded for later viewing.
​
Is there a cut-off date for registration?
Yes. The last day to register is 12:00 PM PST on June 21. That's the afternoon the convention begins, so make sure you get there in time! We will not allow any registrations during convention hours.
​
I missed attending some panels - will they be recorded for later viewing?
We ask all panelists if they'd like their panels to be recorded. If yes, these will be uploaded to a private YouTube channel and emailed out to registered attendees approximately two weeks after the convention finishes.
​
Is this associated with Rusty Quill?
Nope! ArchiveCon is simply a by fans, for fans endeavor - completely non-profit, entirely for fun!
