The (Totally Legal) 18th Anniversary Kon-a-thon

I just want to thank everyone who participated in any way in the fest/comm!

You can check the fills post if you want to support those authors. If you are ever in need of inspiration in the future you can look at the prompt list again, and if you have any Kon-related posts you want to make here, the community will remain open.

Firstly, I'm thinking of extending this thing through July, because there haven't been very many fills for all the lovely lovely prompts we got. Hopefully giving a bit more time will get some more results. What do you folks think? Also, I encourage you to join the comm if you haven't already, as some posts may be member-locked, and I will also open up posting to all members so if anyone has any fun ideas, go ahead and post them! After the end of the official fest the comm will continue to exist that way for all Kon-related items.

Next, scans!

What are some of your favorite canon Kon moments, especially the ones that best serve to illustrate his essential Kon nature? The little things in amongst the plots and relationships that really show who he is?

Like:


A certain clone has just escaped from his tube and tied up the scientist guarding him, as you do. With a steel pipe, as you do if you have superstrength. In a pretty little bow, as you do if you are Kon. It's a nice little touch in one of his first panels that shows what they were going for when they introduced him.

It's June, it's the month, it is now ~officially~ 18 years of Kon!

This is a post for reccing some of your favorite Kon-centric fanworks. Just leave a comment linking to them and tell us why they are awesome!

Sometimes I like to run fictional characters through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and decide what personality type I think they are (Myers & Briggs Foundation, MBTI Wikipedia entry). Personally, I've decided Kon is an ESFP (extraversion, sensing, feeling, perceiving). It's a pretty good description of him: ESFP on wiki, elsewhere, and more. (Also, I think comics-Bart is an ENFP, and Smallville-Lex is an INTJ (and a Scorpio).) Yes, whatever, I have to keep myself entertained somehow. So, a poll! And also comment!

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to run this whole comm; since I'm planning on doing stuff for the next two months, there is lots of time and space for input from you lovely folks! I do want this to seem like a very long, virtual birthday party, so I'm trying to think of games we can play online, and ways we can maybe get together to read/watch the same thing at once. What are some activities you would like to do? Things I'm considering are recs, scans, music, round-robin fic, and silly discussion posts. Possible games include hangman, puzzles, a scavenger hunt, pictionary, and Kon Has Never. But I'm not sure how to virtualize all of them! I'll probably post once or twice a week, but I don't want to set too firm a schedule. So please comment with any suggestions, questions, anything!

Now on to Hangman. For those who don't know, each dash represents a letter, and you leave a comment guessing one letter. If it's in the word, I'll reveal it. If it's not, the little guy gains a limb. When he has fully materialized on the platform, he is dead. If the word is guessed, he is saved! If you guess the word, you win, uh, the satisfaction of heroically saving his life?

(For DW, it's actually easiest if you leave Hangman guesses on the LJ post, so all of them are in the same place. I don't want to discriminate against DW! I love it best! But more people are watching the LJ comm. All other suggestions can definitely go here!)
