The
idea of Winterfest Online was born in 2003 in the
brain of a European newbie
who
attended the "real" convention in
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 otherfans 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 organizingthe 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.
