KiScon (Star Trek convention)

KiScon is a Star Trek convention with a strong focus on the K/S relationship. 
The convention also publishes a fanzine, KiScon.
The first KiScons were house parties hosted by Ginna LaCroix around Columbus Day. The first three were held between 1980 and 1982. They were invitation only events and the invites were handled by Carol Frisbie and Susan K. James. 
After the first few conventions, KiScon went into hiatus mode until they resumed in 1999, 2001 and 2004 under the stewardship of Jenna Sinclair. 
The convention was held in 2008 in Los Angeles, organized by Kathy Resch. 
It was held there again in 2011, co-chaired by Rhaegal and Amanda Warrington, who also organized KiScon 2012 just outside London, UK. 
KiScon 2013 was run by Blackbird Song in Boston. 
The 2015 KiScon took place in Seattle, Washington and was co-chaired by Judy Suryan and Amanda Warrington.
The 2017 KiScon was held in Los Angeles 15 to 17 September 2017, once again co-chaired by Rhaegal and Amanda Warrington.
KiScon 2019 took place in Seattle again, 1-3 November 2019, co-chaired by Judy Suryan and T'Lara.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, KiScon 2021 had to be cancelled.
KiScon 2022, 4-6 November, marked the first K/S convention that took place entirely online; it was chaired by T'Lara.
KiScon 2023 is also going to be an online convention, with the dates set for 3-5 November.

===KiScon 2008: Panels/Programing===
Panels:
* Writing K/S ("Many of us here write K/S. What's important to you in writing K/S? Do you have specific themes/ideas you like to explore?")
* Books That Led to Slash (panelists: Gayle F, Caren Parnes) ("Many of us loved slash before the term was coined. When we found each other in K/S fandom, we shared the books that celebrated our favorite romantic and erotic theme. Come to a discussion of our favorite homoerotic classics of that era, and hear readings from Mary Renault and Patricia Nell Warren.")
* K/S in the 21st Century (panelists: Marnie Strom, Kathy Resch) ("How have the changes in how society views same-sex relationships been reflected in K/S fiction, art, discussion, etc.?")
* Realism vs. Fantasy in Writing Gay Sex (panelist: Jenna Sinclair) ("How do women writers learn to write male/male sex? Maybe we are too embarrassed to go to a website or read "The Joy of Gay Sex" or pick up a porn magazine, but we've got to educate ourselves somehow. We've got to learn the lingo (there was a time, long past, when I blushed at the word penis), figure out the positions (is that even anatomically possible?), and put ourselves in the head (not that head!) of a human and half-Vulcan having sex (wild, passionate, mind-blowing sex! Once we start writing, we have a choice: portray sex acts and emotions realisticallly... or maybe not. Let's talk about Kirk and Spock making love, and we women write gay sex.")
* Traditional Stories vs Cliches (panelist: T'Marii) ("Do you have some storylines you can read over and over again and never get tired of? )
* Pimping K/S (panelist: Kandy Fong) ("What episodes would you show to 'prove' K/S?")
* Share the Weath! (panelist: Jenna Sinclair) (" Want to put your stories online at the K/S Archives but don't have a clue how to get started? We'll show you how, step by step, by actually putting a story up on the archive during this session. An LCD projector will put each step on screen so you can follow along. By the time we're through, you'll think it's easy, and all of fandom will benefit from having more wonderful K/S stories to read. Join us!")
* Kirk/Spock/McCoy (panelists: AcidQueen, Dovya Blacque) ("Kirk/Spock/McCoy -- More than the sum of its parts. About the how and why it can work: an analytical and practical approach.")
* Music Vids (panelists: Gayle F, Kandy Fong, Caren Parnes, Karen P.) ("Join four music vidders for a quick tour of vidding. Back in the 70s, Kandy made Trek slide shows set to music. She'll be screening a short segment of one of those shows, along with one of her later vids. Both Gayle and Caren made vids in the 80s and 90s. We'll see samples of their work and hear about what making vids was like in the VCR era. Karen P. will be showing two of her vids, made with the latest computer technology.")
* Flawed Heroes (panelists: T'Marii, Kathy Resch) ("Kirk and Spock embody the best of heroic tradition. But they are both very complex men, and have had their differences along the way, from the times during TOS when Spock has challenged or questioned Kirk’s decisions (“Arena”, “The Apple”, “The Way to Eden”, etc.), right up to Star Trek VI. Fanfic writers have often explored “the dark side” of Kirk and Spock, from dealing with Tarsus, to the many “why Spock went to Gol” stories, to stories dealing with the distance between then in ST6. How might these differences make it difficult for them to get together in the first place? How would their differences affect their relationship “after the first time”? What do you like/dislike in these sorts of stories?") 
* Star Trek 11 ("How will having entirely new actors play Kirk & Spock affect the fandom?")
* What It's Like to Draw K/S (panelists: Shelley Butler, Caren Parnes) ("Join Shelly and Caren as they discuss how to draw K/S using traditional hand-drawn techniques, and see examples of their artwork.")
* Legacy/The History of K/S (panelists: Jenna Sinclair, Dovya Blacque, Marnie Strom, Gayle F, Kathy Resch) ("From the "Time of the Beginning" to the present. Let's talk about the history of the very first fandom.")
* Universities, Libraries, and Archives: What Academics Will Learn from Us 50 Years from Now (panelists: Rebecca Taylor) ("Rebecca Taylor, a retired library with a life-long interest in pop culture, will talk about her efforts to give her K/S collection to several institutions of higher learning. She also will lead a discussion about how we can preserve our history place in fan culture for future generations.")
* Editing/Beta-ing & Publishing K/S (panelists: Dovya Blacque, Jenna Sinclair, Linda W.) ("What's involved in editing or beta-reading a story? What are the ins and outs of zine publishing?")

===KiSCon 2013: Programming===
Friday November 1st
*1:30
**Registration
*2:00
**Can women be t'hy'la, too? (TOS mainly) Its focus as a relationship between two men tends to discredit/ignore female relationships of any kind. Could we apply "t'hy'la" to Uhura/Saavik? T'pring/Stonn? Amanda/Sarek? How do you deal with this issue in fanfic, and how might it affect Kirk, Spock and those they know? 
**Military vs. Civilian (Both) Star Fleet has always had an uneasy mixture of military and non-military, as pictured, anyway. What would a more realistic depiction of the Fleet consist of? And what stories might it engender in future films/TV?
*3:00
**KHAAAAAAAN! (Reboot) Let's talk about him and his impact on AOS Kirk and Spock so early in their friendship. What impact has he had on fan-fiction since STID premiered? 
**How has K/S affected LGBTQIA fans in real life? (General) Might it have helped us to come to terms with our own sexuality, or with the often-scary process of coming out? Might it have helped us to be more supportive of those we know and love who are LGBTQIA?

**How do the different 'verses compare, regarding the characters' histories? (Both) Tarsus IV in TOS, the destruction of Vulcan in Nu!Trek, Kirk's family background – just a few examples of differences that could have profound effects on Kirk and Spock's development. 
*12:00	How did K/S fandom and fan-fiction get started? (TOS) How did interested fans find out about each other in the days before the Internet? How did the zines start and proliferate? What impact did it have on the Star Trek fandom as a whole, and on the slash genre? 
*1:30	Lunch break
*2:00
**Episode redos (Reboot/TOS) What TOS episodes would you like to see done with the Reboot boys? What did or would each set of Kirk/Spocks bring to the episode?

**Humor in Star Trek (TOS mainly) Humor is a feature of the TOS series and many of its films, yet much of the fan-fiction seems to focus heavily on more dramatic and traumatic elements. Is humor an integral part of the Trek universe, and to the Kirk/Spock relationship? Does it manifest differently in TOS and Reboot? 
**Walk, don't run (Reboot) Should the next movie slow the pace a bit and deal with more social issues?
*3:00
**Kirk seems to be fast-tracking his friendship with Spock (Reboot) Is this because of what he saw in the meld with Spock Prime, or is he just lonely? 
**How does the mind meld affect Kirk and Spock? (TOS) They have melded several times in canon, but they're both private, guarded people, and Spock is not fully Vulcan. How do they cope with the short- and long-term effects of this "terrible lowering of personal barriers"?

===KiScon 2015: Programming===
Friday
*9:00
**Diversity in Slash Pairings: Outside Your OTP, or discussing K/S/Mc, K/Mc, and S/Mc (Greywolf)
**How the death of a star affects the writing of fan-fiction (Blackbird Song)
*10:00
**Why has K/S been so enduring? With all the other fandoms that have proliferated, what is it about K/S that keeps fans interested? (Cate)
**Why is it that so many K/S fans have been long-time fans of Sherlock Holmes, too? (Lyra)
*11:00
**How has the portrayal of Kirk and Spock, and their relationship, changed over the years? (Killa)
**Creating fictional Vulcan worlds: language, mind arts, mores: how writers go about constructing head canon. (Lari)
*12:00
**Where Does Slash Fandom Go From Here? Same sex marriage is (finally) the law of the land in the US and many other western counties and same sex relationships are more accepted. Before, slash was a underground fandom. Now it is more out in the open and "out of the closet." Will slash will remain an off shoot of fan writing or be absorbed into the main stream? What will this mean for slash writing/art/vids and consumers of slash? How will it affect the slash community? (Judy, Lari & Kathy)
**Why Spock is So Sexy: Is it the Ears or Is it the Brains? (Soral)
*13:00 Lunch
*14:00
**Vid: Mind Meld (pt 1) William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy interview each other.
**Story Recs: What are your top 3 K/S stories and why? (List to be generated and circulated to all members) (Carolyn Spencer) (Amanda)

*18:00
**Meet the Guest of Honor - Syn to introduce herself and answer your questions. 
*20:00 Opening Ceremony
Saturday
*9:00
**Writing believable SF is a challenge, but K/S writers also have to contend with an alien central character. What do you love and hate about the way Spock is portrayed? Which stories or writers would you recommend? (Amanda)
**TOS round robin: Everyone gets to write a line or a paragraph of the story without seeing what everyone else has written – the results are usually hilarious! (Syn)
*10:00
**Do we anthropomorph Vulcans without readily contemplating what it means to be alien? What is it is it about earth that is the same as Vulcan and what different? How does this affect how a species thinks? What can we learn from each other that may influence our fan fiction? (Soral)
**Homophobia through K/S: This panel will explore the topic of homophobia in two ways - what can research on K/S tell us about changing ideas of homophobia and sexual norms in the United States, and should K/S (and all slash) be viewed as homophobic/fetishizing. (April Callis)
*11:00
**Four decades of classic K/S vids (Lari)
**What message does K/S (or Star Trek/TOS) still hold for our world today? (Blackbird Song & Ashaya)
*12:00
**Bisexuality as K/S Reality? Kirk & Spock are attracted to women, repeatedly; does it matter? (April)
**KiSCon and Other K/S Cons. Over the last several years there has been a decline in the number of writers, artists, and vidders in K/S as well as KiSCon members. There was a spike of new fans after the first reboot Star Trek movie came out but most have moved on to other fandoms and have not returned. Many were disappointed with the 2nd movie and so it did not re-energize K/S. Will this affect the future of K/S and KiSCon? Will there be enough interest to keep it going into the future? Will there be more pure KiSCons? Will we have to change with the times and expand into other slash fandom's in order to continue having cons? (Judy & Kathy)
*13:00 Lunch
*14:00
**Vid: Mind Meld (pt 2) William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy interview each other.

*15:00
**Science Talk (90 mins) By Rhaegal
*17:00

**Hurt/Comfort: why does it remain so enduring? (Blackbird Song)
*19:30

Sunday
*09:00

**The spirituality of K/S: spiritual themes in TOS/AOS in general, and more specifically relating to t'hy'la or the nature of Vulcan bonds. (Lari)
*10:00
**Art Auction & Raffle with Caren P.
*12:00
**Remembering Leonard: Discussion and tribute vids (Lari)
*13:00 Lunch
*14:00
**What are the similarities and differences between the TOS and reboot characters? (Gwen)
**After the high water mark of Reichenbach Fall in Series 2, fans have been largely divided about the turns the series took in S3--especially with John's cold behavior toward Sherlock and the transformation of Mary as a divisive character in His Last Vow. Do you like the changes Moffat and Gatiss made in characterization in Series 3--with Sherlock being generally more sympathetic and John less so? What would you like to see happen in S4? (Caren P)
*15:00
**How did you come into K/S fandom? What were your influences? Were you in slash fandom before or new to it?

==KiScon 2021==
Kiscon 2021 was canceled due to the COVID pandemic. No virtual event was held in its place
From the 2020 Kiscon website:
==KiScon 2022==
Kiscon 2022 was held entirely online, during the weekend 4–6 November 2022 . The concom consisted of: T'Lara (chair), 1lostone, Linda R., Trekker, and StarshipLillian.
In preparation to taking this traditional K/S convention into a virtual space, the concom established a Discord server (the "KiScord") and started to offer training sessions and office hours to make the technical challenge easier for con attendees. This led to the creation of regular events (Pub Nights) that provide the fannish community with a year-round experience, in addition to the official con weekend.
The online convention tried to bring the traditional KiScon fun into the virtual space: with panels (held on Zoom, trying to take the many different timezones into account as much as possible), vidshows (via Conline), games and competitions (e.g. a cosplay competition, a cake contest), and a silent auction with artworks and collectibles (65 lots in total). The con bag was given to the members via Conline and included many digital goodies. The art show took place via a slideshow vid.
Feedback from KiScon attendees was overwhelmingly positive.
===Post-Con Report:===
=== Contests and Contest Winners: ===
