I love LegendHaven because it is, by far, the most interactive online con I've ever attended. Dominic uses fantastic software that makes it incredibly easy to interact with con attendees and other authors.

Communities like this one, the good folks who gather at LegendHaven, are essential to fuel both our creative projects and our spiritual lives. If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place.

As a priest and a student of Sacred Scripture, I can appreciate the value of good story-telling. It is great to connect with other people who also value stories and fiction and the lessons they can impart to us.

The world is lost without the good news of the Gospel. The Dragon Common Room is delighted to join with LegendHaven in promoting the telling of Christian stories!

For the last couple of years, LegendHaven has served as a great pick-me-up when I've needed to remember why I write and who I'm writing for. It's a booster shot of motivation, and gets me excited about writing, reading, and editing all over again.

I learned about a lot of great new authors and books that I plan to look into as well as hearing a lot of talks about taking your writing less seriously and to just have fun with it.

I love feeling that I’m not alone as a Catholic writer in a very secular world!

I loved the variety of panels! Having a gaming panel and a movie premiere was a nice break from just writing and book content.

Make it a two day event! I wish I could have attended more, because so much was going on! It seems like there is enough content that it could be spread out over two days!

I love getting to connect with like-minded writers from around the world. I lost my love of writing during college, but got it back when I just started writing for fun with no worries about anything else.

Stories shape the way we see the world and the way we live our lives. The stories of the saints remind us that holiness and greatness are possible for ordinary people. The LegendHaven Convention and Writing Contest is a wonderful opportunity for storytellers to share these powerful witnesses and inspire a new generation to pursue lives of courage, virtue, and faith.

Dominic has created and is hosting LegendHaven, which I had the pleasure of speaking at last year. It’s billed as “the friendliest fiction convention in the world" where authors, story lovers, book nerds, gamers, and more gather to share their love of story, imagination, writing, and adventure. Created by Catholics and Christians who love fantasy, science fiction, and epic books, you’ll meet fellow storytellers, learn how to create stories that change lives, and make friendships that last. This is an unpaid and unsolicited endorsement - I just admire Dominic and his passion for creating this community! Maybe it’s the right fit for you!

LegendFiction is a good reminder that, as Catholic fans and subcreators, we aren't alone! There are so many great Catholics who love fantasy, sci-fi and the beauty of myth and are just looking for a place to share their love with others, without the vacuous disappointments of secular media. LegendFiction provides what all of us want: a "creative rebellion against meaninglessness"!

I loved the discussions! It was so fun being able to discuss books and movies with other Catholics. I also loved the comedy session, that was amazing. Just chatting about different genres and fandoms with others was awesome as well, it's difficult to find others who share the same interests as me so I was so happy to meet people who do!

I learned how high quality Catholic/faith centric content can be. I always think things will be cheesy but there were great conversations on successful music and film-writing, great authors and even how Catholic media currently stands from a literary agent’s perspective.

It’s an utter lie… I have been tamping down my enjoyment of fiction writing for 15-ish years…. always felt like there was something “more important” I should be doing. This community is quickly showing me that is an utter lie.

It's no exaggeration to say that I wouldn't be the writer I am today without the friendships I made and the support I found through LegendFiction and the LegendHaven con. Being part of a community of awesome writers helped me find the courage to write my first book.

Before I found LegendFiction, I had no idea where to find other Catholic writers whose storytelling goals aligned with mine. I'm happy to have connected with Dominic and a few other community members, and I look forward to meeting more of you in the future!

It's amazing that LegendHaven even exists. I mean, a place where other principled and often religious artists and academics gather to specifically meet up with each other on the creative path is amazing.

I'd say LegendHaven just kinda fanned my spark of desire to write.

Really, what surprised me most was how many people came together, all the different kinds of creative people and how well everyone got along with each other.

LegendHaven reinforced my belief that stories are best when shared, even if it can be scary sometimes to show how you really think about the world

LegendHaven reinvigorated my spark and gave me some fantastic new ideas to explore. I was surprised that I could create posts in Readers' Reach, Storytellers' Square, etc. That was magnificent fun, especially since I was able to see others' posts in the same places. It allowed me to learn more about others at the con and to pass on knowledge I had by the same means.

In six months, I would hope to have more books written to share with readers and anyone attending the panels!

I left Legend Haven feeling more connected than ever to the awesome writers and readers at the event. I also learned more about why I write, which was very helpful.

I hope that in six months, I will have deepened the connections I made with other writers and creators at Legend Haven! More Legend Haven friends means more collaboration, storytelling, encouragement, sharing, and ridiculously epic fun!!!

I was surprised by the variety of presentations and how friendly everyone was. The software for the con was easy to use. Dom is very prolific and encouraging. I was able to meet Kris Ackoury as well and I am so excited for his book to come out. I also really liked hearing from Allison Gliot; I just bought her book and am excited to start reading. LegendHaven got me back into wanting to read and write.

An old friend of mine surprised me that she was at LegendHaven. She helped and encouraged me a lot. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to talk to her again. The con definitely changed how I think. The livestream conversations helped me learn about the writing world now, and how bad it’s gotten. It’s up to the new generation of writers to write good clean stories and return back to the roots.
