Dutch Comic Con – Photos

Argh, it took longer than expected. Sorry for that! I’ve finally sorted through all my photos and am very happy with the end results. I’ve got a variety of cosplayers captured over the weekend, as well as two photoshoots I did with cosplayers during the weekend. If I’ve taken any photo of you you would like to have,...

Dutch Comic Con 2016

You might have noticed on my social media channels already that I’ve spent my weekend at Dutch Comic Con in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. Dutch Comic Con is a convention for fans from TV-shows, movies, comics, books, anything fandom related. Several artists and actors were present at the con just as many different dealers. One of the goals...

Writing Inspiration – Pinterest

Anyone who has ever attempted to write a story will probably know that you can find writing inspiration in a great variety of places.

One of my favourite places to browse for writing inspiration –...

Authors on writing

The last day of February, also the last day of February fiction month! Phew, time is flying by.

Smith did exactly that with “The Status Updates Series” books. They feature four roommates who go through the good and bad together. All books feature a get-a-way to a European city,...

Cosplayer of the Month: Ekko Cosplay

I love exploring the world of cosplay, even though I don’t really cosplay myself. But I wanted to put some people in the spotlight who do an amazing job with it but hardly get the attention they deserve. So every month I will put one cosplayer in the spotlight. Together with the cosplayer I will select my/their favourite...

Give-a-way: Win a fandom charm bracelet

Custom Jewels sells all kinds of fandom jewelry and other merchandise. If you are fan of Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, or any other TV-show, movie, or...

Fantasy maps

As mentioned earlier this week the first blog in “February Fiction Month” is about fantasy maps in books. We use maps to find our way in a new place (or Google Maps, whichever you prefer 😉 ). But they are used very frequently in books too, especially in the fantasy genre. Fantasy books are one of my favourites...
