*) Good thing we had a tie-breaker…


Most people knew:

  • That Clive Barker’s ‘Abarat’ was not made into a movie
  • what Kylo Ren’s scar looks like
  • that Tom Bombadil wasn’t in the Lord of the Rings movies
    what the abbreviation HSF stands for (luckily 😉)

    But only 1 person knew that the spaceship from question 16 was from Lexx.
    The questions about locations in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, the titles of short horror stories and the characters from The Expanse were also unknown to most.

The best answer to question 14 was ‘Thingy from The Expanse’.

About half of the participants should have taken a closer look at the posters for the Eurocon / the pennants that were distributed: it will take place in 2024, not 2023 😉

And did you know that…. If you simply guessed 123,456 on tie-breaker question 40, you would actually come quite close to the correct answer? The difference is only 13,775 words.

Curious about the rest of the answers? You can find them all in the attached file.

HSFCon 2023: Feedback

The first HSFCon is barely over, but we continue at full speed with the preparations for the second HSFCon.

We would like to make HSFCon 2023 even better. What do you expect from the next HSFCon? What can be done differently? What needs to be done differently? Which guests of honor and guests would you like to see (again)? Do you have suggestions for panels, lectures or workshops? Do you want to help / participate in the next HSFCon? Constructive criticism is, of course, also more than welcome.

We look forward to receiving your e-mail, via info@hsfcon.nl.
