10 Reasons Why Flame Con Is Awesome

7. An Incredible Display Of Creativity

The works and items on show were almost as diverse as the creators themselves.

Flame Con's makers had zines, comics, books, t-shirts, tote bags, pin badges, buttons, games, prints and so much more available. What's more, every single item was made with love and creativity, making for some very professional looking pieces, and spoiling attendees with a treasure trove of goodies to buy and take home.

It was amazing to see items not commonly seen at comic cons, or at the very least in Artists Alleys, as we saw LGBTQ+ music makers and game designers among others too.

It really felt like a celebration of the creativity of the community itself.
