Jan. 17th, 2021 15:46I'm at the Arisia virtual con this weekend, and it's not my first virtual con (FanWorks con, which, to be fair, is MUCH smaller) and I'm actually really impressed by the way Arisia did this. There's a landing page where you can go quickly to the schedule which links to every panel "room," and VERY easy links to a help desk and safety desk, and an easy link to the dealer's corner....and it's just very pleasant and well-put-together while still being a little dorky and clearly made by fans.
The Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog fan performance thingy last night was done on a streaming page where they had a frame set up to look like a theater which made me think of the MST3K theater which was the exact balance of clever, fun, and dorky.
I don't know if it's perfect for everyone and I do miss the con "atmosphere" because it's not quite the same at home. But honestly, I'm really impressed and I'm much more inclined to try out virtual cons after this.
