Welp, Dragon Con’s going virtual. (But you can still vote in the Dragon Awards!)

I can’t say that I’m surprised.

After an exhaustive attempt to consider and uncover every possible option to hosting a safe and much-needed #DragonCon this year, it has become apparent that we cannot, in good faith, move forward with our 2020 event. pic.twitter.com/U9Vv0BHLvE

— Dragon Con is getting virtual for 2020! (@DragonCon) July 6, 2020

Heck, I was expecting this announcement weeks ago. All the other conventions, SCA events, and other assorted geekeries have canceled by now; if there was another holdout of equal size, I don’t remember what it was. Still kind of sucks; I had a plan to shill FROZEN DREAMS there, after all. Well, there’s always next year, although the hotel situation’s gonna be even MORE insane than usual.

In the meantime: the Dragon Awards are still a go! You can sign up here. And, hey, I even have a book to nominate. Fancy that*.
