Hey everyone
As we all know, we are a little under two months out from BrittanaCon, less than one month from the cut-off for the special hotel room rate, so I think we can all agree that it may be a good time for a publicity push on all available media.
I've already suggested getting a countdown clock set-up on the tumblr that we can reblog at will and link from our personal pages and from our twitter pages, and the BC twitter account, obviously. I know it's cheesy but when I saw the one someone made for the 100th ep floating around tumblr it got me even more excited to see the episode so maybe it'll have the same effect here, who knows.
My next suggestion centers on the fab authors we already signed up to attend. I'd like to suggest featuring each author in turn, in a coordinated effort between the twitter, tumblr and their fanfiction or tumblr fic account pages. I think we should link to their author page, I'd be happy to post quotes from their fics for people to retweet, that we could turn into tumblr posts to reblog. Maybe we could get the brittanafanfiction tumblr to reblog the author push for us and broaden our reach a bit. I think if we can get people excited about the authors attending, we may see some more folks register.
Concurrently with this social media push, I think it'd be pretty awesome if each of our authors would agree to write a short ficlet/one-shot and include a message in the A/N publicizing the Con to your fanfic followers who subscribe for alerts. Heck, even just transfering some of your tumblr drabbles over to fanfic like beyondcanon has done this past week so people get alerts for new stories from you! We may reach some folks we haven't yet and it gives some extra excitement to see our fave authors writing blurbs, maybe Brittana on a roadtrip through Richmond or something cheesy, I don't know. We could write a standard publicity blurb or each author can handle it on their own, whatever is easiest for our awesome authors. I know this may be asking a lot for folks who are already busy with real life and Con planning stuff but I think any contributions at this point may really help the final push as we near the actual event.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings:) I plan on doing the twitter author push and will coordinate with whoever ends up working the tumblr so if it doesn't end up being Alex in the near future, expect to hear from me soon.
