January 12-18, 2004 Winterfest Online
First International Online Convention
The idea of Winterfest Online was born in 2003 in the brain of a
European newbie who attended the "real" convention in San Francisco,
and who wanted to share some of the same wonderful times she had there with the
many B&B fans unable to attend a real con.(Though
anyone who has been to a "real" con will tell you that nothing
compares with meeting other fans in person we encourage you to attend a "real"
con if at all possible.)
WFOL is organized by the Wintercandlemakers
Committee, a group of B&B fans made up of members from nearly all the
corners of fandom: new fans as well as day one fans, from at least 6 different
countries and speaking at least 5 different languages; some have had the
opportunity to meet in the real world, others do not even know one another's
faces. The only background they have in common is a passion for Beauty and the
Beast, a desire to help the fires of B&B fandom to burn a little more
brightly, and the will to spend a few months focused on the task at hand,
planning for, gathering and organizing the various offerings into a workable
whole. Though individual members are generally involved in active fandom, as a
group they are affiliated only with one another –not with any particular
fan-club, website, mailing list, etc. The composition of the group changes
slightly over the years.
The past WFOL sites are archived and all activities aren’t active, but
you can look around and see some of the treasures this wonderful committee
helps us to share.
