THE F4C-TS MOTHERSHIP DOCKS AT FLANDERS EXPO! GHENT – EARTH (PLANET XO-06704) -

On star date 04/2019, The Mothership of the F4C-TS fleet returns after an intergalactic 188 earth day journey. It boasts a tremendously varied and precious cargo, consisting of rare, entertaining and special treasures from multiple dimensions and universes. “We had to change our phasers from stun to disintegrate quite often to acquire our assets”, says

the Mothership captain. “We encountered caped crusaders, witches, evil queens, pirates, and we even captured the architect of a huge metal moon. But we’ve managed to bring back A LOT of cool things to Earth!” Part of the cargo consists of countless peculiar space exhibition objects, hundreds of cultural habits like lightsaber battles and magic wand making,

but there are also a lot of merchants from all over the multiverse travelling along to sell their wares. The F4C-TS Mothership will stay docked for 2 whole earth days, which is said not to be enough if you want to experience it all before it leaves. Time-Turner and TARDIS time travel is – luckily – allowed.

DIGITAL WORLDS INVADE REALITY IN GAMING HALL GHENT –

Multiple strange gateways to alternate digital worlds have suddenly popped up in the Gaming Section of the Mothership. These worlds appear to be non-hostile to our world, and even allow professional companies like Nintendo, Bethesda, Omen by HP and MSI to harness their power for entertainment purposes. Some have even used these

peculiar portals to make new ‘e-sports’ in these alternate worlds with jet powered soccer cars (Rocket League), magical creatures with a phobia for shiny towers (League of Legends), exotic experienced swordfighters (Soul Calibur VI), brawling multiverse fighters (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) and more! The Gaming Section of the Mothership is looking for new recruits and veterans to control this outbreak of invading digital gates. Sit down and take control!

CELEBRATION OF HONOURED GUESTS IN COSPLAY HALL GHENT –

Apart from merchants and treasures, the F4C-TS Mothership also transports a delegation of honoured guests from all over the galaxies and multiverses. They will take part in what can be best described as celebrations and ‘beauty contests’, in which all aspects and interpretations of ‘beauty’ can be found. Scary, cute, shining, dark, convincing, extraordinary, everything is considered beautiful, as long as they put their heart (or similar alien organs) into it. The FACTS crew – along with professional Earth delegations BeCosplay and CosplayCloud – will organise many spectacles on both days, in the Cosplay Hall, and everyone is invited.

WELCOME TO FACTS! “A soulmate is someone who appreciates your level of weird.” That’s not me talking, that’s - allegedly - the legendary actor and Ghostbuster Bill Murray. (And now the song is in your head. You’re welcome.) But it could very well have been you, me, or anyone in the FACTS halls today. Just look around you. Surrounding yourself with soulmates is a key factor for FACTS. Soulmates automatically enhance the feeling of belonging, the feeling that what you experience, is good. Validated. Completely normal. How can our fandom feelings be wrong or weird if there are so many of us experiencing it too? Spoiler alert: they’re not wrong, nor weird. They are awesome. And at FACTS, we appreciate them to the max.

So lets find you some soulmates! You can meet them in the Board Game Zone, in the Star Wars Zone, the Creators Zone, in the lines of the photoshoots or the Artist Alley in the Guest Hall, in the seats next to you in the Main Stage Hall, as Player 2 in the Gaming Hall,… Hell, you can even meet them in the speed dates if you’re feeling extra lucky. No matter to which FACTS activity you hurry first once you’ve entered FACTS, old and new soulmates will be there too. So go out there, take your soulmates with you or find new ones while mingling at FACTS! And most importantly: have fun!
