Welcome to the Malmöfandom blog!

If you're new to fandom, welcome! We are a independent network of people who love to read, write and talk about science fiction and fantasy books, or more correctly; the fantastic genre.

We often call ourselves fans, since we are fans of reading sf- and fantasy, and we like to arrange litterature events called conventions (kongresser, in swedish) where we invite special guests to talk about science fiction and fantasy (often writers who themselves are fans of the fantastic litterature).

Here in Sweden we have an annual sf-conference called Swecon. This year, 2015, it's in Linköping and is called ConFuse. Guests of Honour are writers Madeline Ashby, Ben Aaronovitch and Kristina Hård.

This year there's also a big convention in Åland, called Archipelacon.Guests of Honour are Karin Tidbeck, Johanna Sinisalo and George R R Martin.

I, who write this, is called Fia, and I am one of the creators of Malmöfandom with big hopes for a Malmö-convention in the future. Stay tuned for more info on that later on! And welcome to Malmöfandom. If you're ever in Malmö, make sure you visit us!
