AboutThe primary purpose of this community is to discuss and help plan Context, an annual gathering of people who like to read science fiction, fantasy and horror; the convention takes place in Columbus, Ohio.
A secondary purpose of this community is to provide a place for Central Ohio SF/F/H fans to chat and plan other local gatherings and outings (a year is a very long time on the Web, after all).
Polite discussion is encouraged; discourtesy and spam will be removed.
The convention will be held Aug. 28-30, 2009 at the Doubletree Hotel in Worthington, OH.
If you enjoy anime, science fiction, fantasy, or horror, you'll find plenty to entertain you at Context. The convention will feature an engaging mix of programming for fans and pros alike, including:
Guest of Honor: James P. Hogan
Editor Guest of Honor: Jason Sizemore
Horror Guest of Honor: Christoper Golden
