Founded and hosted by Dominic de Souza and powered by the LegendFiction community, LegendHaven runs themed, lore-driven weekends with live panels, author booths, AMAs, and meetups—optimized for low-friction participation. Since 2022, hundreds have joined to explore myth, faith, fandom, and craft in a zero-toxicity space billed as “the friendliest fiction con in the galaxy.” Fast facts What it is: Annual online convention for storytellers and fans, with a unique in-universe theme each year. 2025 theme: Arclight Hollows (an original LegendHaven lore). Format: Live panels, booths/expo, AMAs, community rooms, chats; “camera-off” friendly. Typical ticket: Weekend pass: $10. Pricing can vary by bundle/specials. Programming sample: Topics like Star Wars vs Star Trek, future-of-fantasy trends, craft workshops. Who attends: Readers, writers, and pop-culture fans; roots in faith-inspired (Catholic/Orthodox) creatives; all are welcome. Organizer: Dominic de Souza (Founder, LegendFiction). Next announced: LegendHaven 2026 returning April 2026. 2025 overview (for articles & blurbs) LegendHaven 2025 continued the series’ lore-first approach with Arclight Hollows, a setting fans explored through an original anthology of stories, and a themed experience. Partners and creators hosted their own meet-and-greets and launches inside the Expo using free tools like Google Meet, live chat, and news feeds. What makes it different - Lore-driven convention: Each event anchors in original worldbuilding (e.g., Harbor Cove, Arclight Hollows), adding continuity and playful immersion. - Community-first UX: Chat-centric, “join in seconds,” and friendly to introverts, so more fans participate. - Open Expo model: Creators run their own mini-events/booths with prizes, AMAs, live storytelling reading - Mission clarity: Built by LegendFiction, a moderated creative community focused on meaning, myth, and making better stories. Programming & features Live craft panels and fandom debates (e.g., Star Wars vs Star Trek). Author booths & launches (copy-paste promo templates, permanent backlinks) Meetups, AMAs, readings, raffles, exclusive previews Ongoing community via LegendFiction (mentors, houses/common rooms, challenges) Audience & community LegendHaven draws readers, emerging writers, and pros who value faith-inspired storytelling and constructive fandom spaces.

Like LegendHaven! - [The Lore of LegendHaven](https://legendhaven.com/the-lore-of-legendhaven) The Lore of LegendHaven Every century, a fellowship of kingdoms sends scribes, students, and storytellers to convene in an ancient constellation of havens. The world is so large they rarely return to the same realm. Some murmur there may be more kingdoms beyond the stormlit edges of the maps. None can say. The world is vast, so vast, that the only way to hold back the dark is through the magic of leygates. Leygates are the only way to cross the oceans of mountains and unpassable forests. The myths stumble to remember who charted this world, who seeded the leylines and marked off these portals. But, this magic is waning. There is neither gold nor power in the world to keep safe what was once strong. Still the kingdoms gather, trading in tales, to share wisdom from the furthest reaches of the world. Their hope is that this moving marketplace of a million stories, this haven of legends, can restore the old wisdom with new ways. About the World, so far... "What if a convention was more than an event, but a world? And what if it had its own stories that you enjoy reading? And what if you were a part of this world? "That's my dream for LegendHaven, a story arena for worlds without end." Dominic de Souza Founder Bannermark A monastery-quay over the labyrinth of an obsidian crater, surrounded by a hundred banners as pledges to never summon fell magic again. Amberveil The oldest library in the world, hoisted high in the Hanging Havens, bridged across the ancient boughs of a forest on the frontier of the unknown. High above glaciers and snowfields, the first fires of the world are kept burning forever, an enclave of keepsakes lit by lanterns and warm welcomes. Hearthhall A ribbed canyon by the desert ocean, a marketplace of a million stories, hemmed by dunedrakes and lantern crabs, reached by sand sliders. Arclight Hollows A ribbed canyon by the desert ocean, a marketplace of a million stories, hemmed by dunedrakes and lantern crabs, reached by sand sliders. Arclight Hollows A brilliant port built by the Order of Tidewrights, blue bays and white gulls fringe the red-roofed city bustling with trade and treasure. Harborcove A brilliant port built by the Order of Tidewrights, blue bays and white gulls fringe the red-roofed city bustling with trade and treasure. Harborcove About the World, so far... With each passing century, the edge of urgency sharpens, the elders grieve the passing of wisdom, the youth turn ever faster toward steel than story. Four great schools of magic stand: Wanderies, Chalimancers, VIsioneers, and Excaliburn. They train in the paths of the martial and mystic arts. Rare are these heirs of the gods, and needed more than ever. But the schools are sundered, and the ways of magic have lost their stories, so that some wield power without meaning, some seek answers without reverence, and all seek safety under a story to build a better future.

Shop the Merch Why attendees love LegendHaven The range of topics and discussions, how there were events available throughout the day, and how every discussion or panel was live instead of pre-recorded. 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. Legend Fiction has certainly brought back the joy and fun of writing for me! I love feeling that I’m not alone as a Catholic writer in a very secular world! I loved all the expo booths and things that you could do. Plus just watching with my camera off. That was very handy for me. 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. Honestly all of it was fantastic and you guys had a lot of really excellent speakers!! I even won a book 💖 I loved how easy it was to just jump in, be inspired, chat, feel part of the community, and the option to not be on camera if we didn’t want to be. Everyone was very kind and speakers mature in their faith; all inspiring stuff. I made some good friends and conversations! I love the supportive, encouraging, and creative community fostered by Legend Haven. 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. I loved the small group talks and getting to have fun discussions with the teen attendees. The new platform was also super awesome!

LegendHaven is the grassroots, indie, online convention from LegendFiction, the coolest storytellers in the world. This is our 4th year, and we welcome more friends every time! 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 how many people are interested in telling stories that matter. Given the current big publishing landscape, you wouldn't necessarily know it. 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. 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. I'd say LegendHaven just kinda fanned my spark of desire to write. 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. 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 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 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! Overall, I was surprised by the practicality of all the advice that was shared, and the pure joy of storytelling.

We are fed and fed and fed, yet many leave the table starved. Readers feel it. Writers feel it. Something has gone missing from the feast. We are bringing the hungry and the makers into one convention at the same time. Readers, come with your hunger for good things. Come with the names of the books that fed you and the films that left you cold as ash. Come with the tales that cracked your heart open, the ones that made you remember there is still gold under the ruin. Storytellers, come with your craft and your restlessness. Come with the sense that you have a call to do more than just color by numbers. Come hear what fans and friends are starving for. Come hear the old hungers spoken aloud. Together we will lay the last six months of story on the table. We will talk about what stirred wonder, what gave us courage, what made us weary. Then from that heap of witness, grief, delight, disgust, and desire, we will build a guide. A field guide for the next stories worth making. This is no panel of armchair pundits making decrees from the coward's pulpit of a newspaper byline. This is the fire circle. This where readers and storytellers build the future of fiction together, shoulder to shoulder, while the sparks rise. Ours is a faith that builds worlds. That is how the lost road appears again. That is how better stories find their way back into the world. That is how the flame gets carried onward. Maybe... that’s how we are kindled, and become a light in dark places, when all other lights go out. This age has forgotten how to tend a fire... As seen on Readers and storytellers assemble to build the future of meaning, morality, myth, & magic in fiction. Together! There is a reason so many readers feel restless. They are hungry for stories with courage, wonder, danger, loyalty, beauty. Storytellers are filled with fire, books, and the maddening sense that they could make something far better if they could finally hear, face to face, what people are starving for. Let's talk about the movies and books people loved, the ones we didn't, and the stories everyone is hungry for now. Your ideas helps shape better stories, and those stories can help shape the future.

Join the All Weekend Expo Invite your followers to join you and meet new friends inside LegendFiction for a weekend! Invite the con attendees to take the voices of characters in your story, and bring it to life together like never before! Share a chapter of your latest book, or a sneak peek from your upcoming launch! Join the livestreams Every morning and afternoon (10-12AM, 2-4PM ET), we're hosting a public livestream show on our YouTube channel. And you're invited! Frequently Asked Questions We are in the actual business of summoning absolute stans for imaginary places that feel more real than the chair you are sitting on. We need a moment to get off the crazy bumper-cars of social media, and create a Hobbiton-style festival instead. LegendHaven is what happens when someone hands you a megaphone and says, “Right. You. Speak.” For the weekend of Dec 5-6, challenge your fans to come hang out with you, and read your stories aloud with you! They take the voices of your characters, like a table-read for a movie. Guaranteed, your fans want to meet each other, and hang out with you. And not in a mild, polite, “please share your ideas” sort of way, where everyone waits for them to be done because no one actually cares. What a gift to give your fans 😊 LegendHaven is a haven for legends. Some are authors, some are readers, some are fans. And we need to know what everyone thinks. And you’re not alone on this stage. Other authors stand beside you! I’m hosting four YouTube livestreams to promote you and your worlds and your ideas. At LegendHaven, readers and fans move between worlds like travelers portaling across realms. And when the weekend ends, your stage segment is recorded, clipped, and published online, free. Your name, your work, your link, anchored to something that looks bigger than all of us. Bring your world. Summon your fans. Get on the schedule for Dec 5-6. Most writers believe they are in the business of writing books. This is adorable. And untrue. PS: It's an event where readers (and other authors) kick themselves for missing out. Don't kick yourself. Join us instead. It's nicer. I am on the edge of my seat for LegendHaven every year because I know I am about to plunge into a pool of revved up bookish, storyish people that I get to share my stuff with.

Everyone needs heroes, and it's time to revive our amazement at how incredible the saints can be. And that they can inspire us today, right now. We just need the right story to do it. A lot of the Saint stories I've read were written DECADES ago, have the tone of a tribute, and tend to sand over the relatable human struggles. LegendFiction is about to change that, and I am HERE for it! Mass media offers flawed heroes. The Church offers amazing role models for teens. We have to inspire the next generation of youth with incredible stories. A book like this leaves a legacy, and builds a bridge to the future. "The Saints & Sagas contest is a wonderful opportunity for teens to reflect on the lives of their favorite saints, while also building epic storytelling skills. A fantastic challenge for this holy season of Lent! The winning authors will be published and even receive royalties for their stories. Get your pens and laptops ready, young writers: this is going to be EPIC fun!!!" "Stories and literature are essential in every generation for translating faith into new lives and times. LegendHaven is a great place for faith-inspired fiction authors and readers to support each other, and contribute to the Catholic renaissance of the arts in our days. If we are made in the image of the creator, then we are called to be creators too." Kudos to Dominic de Souza and the LegendHaven team for encouraging emerging young authors with their creative gifts and talents. The Saints & Sagas writing contest promises to generate exciting new stories and promising new voices for a culture greatly in need of powerful entertainment. "The world needs saints to set it on fire. "Sometime we forget that some of the heroes who reached sainthood were just as normal as you and me, except they stormed Heaven with incredible grit and effort. This challenge seeks to inspire teens that the adventure of their life is just beginning, and the saints are standing by as guides and inspiration." "Heroism is definitely something that needs promoting! As a dad with nine children, I hope to inspire my children's faith with lively saints stories that capture their imagination. Let's create a must-read book for teen readers!" "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. Contest Partners & Sponsors Youth today need heroes who choose courage when things get hard, and the saints lived that kind of bravery. The Saints & Sagas contest calls authors to tell those stories again, so others can see what true heroism looks like. And want to live it too. Seven heroes who faced impossible od...
