Craig Horner Mingles With Seeker Fans at WonderCon 2012

Normally I would not post someone else’s images without asking permission first but I think Laura would approve. Laura (aka SOT_fan) from Save Our Seeker is at WonderCon in San Diego this weekend, keeping the Seeker fan booth warm. She posted a few pictures of Craig at the Seeker fans booth, where he has been signing autographs. He’ll be there again tomorrow from Noon to 3:30 PM.

I am sure there are many more Seeker fan pictures from WonderCon 2012. Look for them on the Web.

Also, don’t forget that fans are organizing a TwitterFest for Craig tomorrow (Sunday, March 18). If you cannot be at WonderCon, try to participate in TwitterFest. You can use software like Tweetdeck to schedule your Tweets in advance if you cannot be online at the right time.

It’s great to see Craig mingling with his fellow science fiction and fantasy fans. He hasn’t forgotten that sense of wonder we all share. Let’s work together to Save the Seeker for everyone to enjoy!

Please Join the Xenite.Org 15th Anniversary Celebration on March 14

I don’t often ask my friends in fandom for favors but this coming Wednesday, March 14, 2012 is a special day for me. It marks the 15th anniversary of Xenite.Org, my first science fiction and fantasy domain. I created my first Website in August 1996 but by February 1997 I had four Websites scattered across several ISP accounts. I decided to consolidate them on my own domain. On March 14 I registered Xenite.Org and by March 17 it was visible to everyone on the Web.

Xenite.Org is not only one of the first science fiction and fantasy fan domains, it’s one of the first science fiction and fantasy domains. I don’t know how many others had been created by then. Certainly big sites like TheForce.Net and Xenafan.com were already in existence, but many great fan megasites such as Mugglenet, TheOneRing.net, and others were yet to be launched.

Today Xenite still receives over 35,000 monthly visitors. The Xenite.Org network still serves nearly 70,000 monthly visitors. The number goes well over 200,000 if you include all the spammy robots and hacker tools that are constantly probing our server. (roll your eyes)

On Wednesday I am asking our friends and fans to join in a Tweetabration. Please sign on to Twitter and post any message that includes “Happy Fifteenth Xenite-dot-Org”. If you want to include hash tags, #scifi and #fantasy are cool. Or you could also use #sffandom, a hash tag we use for posts from the SF-Fandom Science Fiction and Fantasy Forums.

Thank you in advance for your support. I love doing things for science fiction and fantasy fans and I’m still working to help spread the word about Legend of the Seekr. But I think you’ll agree that March 14 is a pretty special day. We need MORE 15-year-old science fiction and fantasy fan domains.

You can follow Xenite.Org on Twitter at @xenite_org.

You can follow our Legend of the Seeker news and promotions on Twitter at @seekerfans.

Thanks a lot!

Meet Craig Horner at WonderCon 2012

Hey Legend of the Seeker fans. If you haven’t heard by now, Craig Horner will be at WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim, CA the weekend of March 16-18. Craig himself has publicly confirmed the appearance through his Twitter account.

You can learn more details at SeekerSword.com, and you also have the opportunity to submit questions for Craig in advance by sending them via email to WizardsRule -at- SeekerSword.com (that’s an email address you have to put together).

I wish I could be there in person but I’m afraid that’s not possible. Nonetheless, as someone who has been privileged to speak with Craig by telephone I can tell you he has a great personality, he loves the Seeker fandom, and he is himself a science fiction and fantasy fan.

Craig is not only a very experienced actor with more than 10 years of television work to his credit, he’s also an accomplished musician.

Please be sure to check out WonderCon and let us know what you thought of the experience!

And a very special thanks to Laura at Save Our Seeker for letting me know about Craig appearing at WonderCon!
