LegendHaven is the online fiction convention where readers and writers meet to celebrate the power of story, swap ideas, and make real friends. 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.”

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, readings—no tech gatekeeping. Mission clarity: Built by LegendFiction, a moderated creative community focused on meaning, myth, and making better stories.
