The forums can be found at http://doujicon.oztaku.com/forums

It should be noted that forum use does require registering with the site (anonymous posting is not allowed), but you’ll be able to use your OpenID / Wordpress account from other sites. If you are a regularly producing artist / animator / publisher and would like your own sub section, please get in touch with us at your convenience and we will arrange to have the section created. Likewise, if you think the forum could use anything in particular that would be of use to people that are part of the Australian graphic narrative community, please let us know.

It will be upgraded and updated along with the rest of the site as time goes by.

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Plans for 2011 have already begun.

    Currently on the agenda for next year’s event is:

    • Finding a time that’s more suitable for most people
    • Potential move to a more inner city venue
    • Moves to get some actual staff and a webmaster to keep this site updated
    • New skin for the site because this temporary one wasn’t meant to be anything more than temporary, and is kind of terrible
    • Adding an animated film festival element
    • Getting some actual sponsors!

    If you’d like to be involved at all in the back end planning for all of this, please hit us up on the DoujiCon Facebook Page, or send an email to doujicon@oztaku.com

    ]]>     http://doujicon.oztaku.com/2010/forward-planning-has-begun/feed/ 0     Thank you for coming http://doujicon.oztaku.com/2010/thank-you-for-coming/ http://doujicon.oztaku.com/2010/thank-you-for-coming/#comments Sat, 08 May 2010 12:02:42 +0000 Egofreaky http://doujicon.oztaku.com/?p=63 Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Well, DoujiCon IV is over, and now planning begins for DoujiCon V (Well, Manifest first, then DoujiCon V… and a goth convention, but that’s something else entirely!).

    And didn’t we all have a wonderful time?

    IF you didn’t, unlike other events that just want you to suck up and tell they how awesome they are, we’d actually like to know the reasons why so we can improve upon it next year, and make sure that if you come back you do have a good time and that future attendees don’t have the problems you experienced. We’d also like to apologise.

    Even if you did have a good time, we’d still like to hear back from you, because we also do like the sucking up and being told how awesome DoujiCon is.

    Click here for the Minifest / DoujiCon FeedBack Survey

    Tell us what you thought, rate how things went, give us feedback for the future. Just don’t ask us for a pro-standard event unless you’re willing to help out, because atthe moment, this is still all one guy running things for DoujiCon amidst all the other things he does.

    Anyway, please don’t forget to sign up to the DoujiCon Facebook page, as it’s honestly easier to maintain and communicate through.

    Photos will be up shortly I guess.

    We’re in the upstairs room, so be mindful of other patrons, and head on up.
    The kitchen is open until 9:00.

    Please blame The Melbourne Anime Festival and OzTAKU in general.

    Anyway, Maps of Doujicon and Minifest are now available.

    The traders list has been updated.

    We’re now in a frantic rush to get the program book made, and the bags stuffed.

    Yes, there is a showbag for the first 500 people. Does it contain anything? Other than a program book, not really! But it’s a bag for you to carry your purchases in, which is basically what they’re meant to be for in the first place.

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     If you’d like to help out at DoujiCon, but have no idea what you can do, don’t fret!

    We now have an awesometastic volunteers form!

    Filling it out means we own you pretty much for the entirety of Saturday, but there are some benefits to it, like free entry, free tshirt, and best of all FREE BEER!

    Classes like How to turn anyone into Anthro!

    Classes like "How to turn anyone into Anthro!"

    The quality imported kind even. Perhaps from Holland. Perhaps with opium and ladies of ill repute!

    Well, no… it’s just beer, but it’ll be nice. Same with the Tshirt. And if you’re underage and can’t drink beer, we’ll get something else for you. Young people like cookies, yeah?

    So what do we want in return?

    Well, we need some people to do manual labour. At least four hours of it. We’d also like people to teach classes, at least two hours of those.

    So if you reckon you can move tables or give people quality information, and you fill out a Tshirt of appropriate size nicely, then I’d appreciate it if you could fill out the DoujiCon Volunteers Form.

    Applications for Traders (and technically, sponsors/advertisers too) are now open!

    Head on over to the Traders & Sponspors Booking Form page, fill out the required information for what you want, and you’re in the system.

    Please be aware that due to the limited number of free tables, and the amazingly large number of interested artists this year, you may not get a table.

    Doujicon IV will be moving back to Monash’s Caulfield campus’ K-Building, where it was cradled, nurtured, and people could actually find it and had natural light to grow, and propser, and obtain vitamin D from.

    It will also be happening on May 8th, from 10am.

    When? I’m not sure yet.

    How? In conjunction with Minifest, the non-commercial event run by the Melbourne Anime Festival

    But the point is that plans are slowly being made into reality, starting right here with this new CMS (Wordpress) to make actually running this site easier than it has been in the past.

    Doujicon IV: Attack of the Homophones, coming is coming soon, so subscribe to the RSS feed, and keep on top of what’s going on!
