Brisbane RNA Showgrounds, November 8-10 2013 • Adelaide Showground, November 15-17 2013
Welcome to the Supanova Pop Culture Expo’s
November 2013 tour of Brisbane and Adelaide.
And yes, things are different already, as you’ve by now no doubt noticed
as you hold this brand new version of our Event Guide, which is more
like an Event Programme, and therefore an excellent keepsake in addition
to being an informative guide to the expos.
Who do we have to thank for this bold new direction? Why, none
other than FilmInk Magazine, who have now sponsored and supported
Supanova for ten glorious years. After all, that’s the beauty of Supanova
– in all the years that we’ve aspired, and succeeded, in being Australia’s
version of Comic-Con, from our humble beginnings as comicfest! back
in 2000 to our rebranding as Supanova in 2002, we’ve always sought to
improve where we can, and cement what we get right in partnership
with our sponsors, exhibitors, special guests, talented locals, wonderful
volunteers, and literally over 500,000 fans as we’ve grown and grown.
After all, we at Supanova – as staff, family and friends – are exactly who
you are: fans. Through destiny’s all-knowing sense of good humour, we’ve
somehow joined together to create these expos, and it’s your passion and
enthusiasm that continues to drive us.
With that in mind, we’d love to continue thanking the rest of our
sponsors for bringing that special something to every event, but in
particular, this November tour – Madman Entertainment, Domino’s
Pizza, Weta Collectables, Timezone, Booktopia, Global Gear, and our
wonderfully cool Adelaide sister event, AVCon. They’re worth supporting,
and we wholeheartedly encourage you to keep doing so.
Lastly, aside from thanking you once again (yes, you, reading this), please
don’t forget to download our Guidebook update to any smartphones or
tablets that you may have. Invariably, changes occur, and the Guidebook
allows us to inform you of them pretty much as they happen.

Welcome to Supanova 2013 – we hope you have a blast!

Kick off your
Supanova weekend
in style!
If you’re serious about Supanova,
then Friday’s Opening Night is
unmissable! There are exclusive movie
trailers, fun and silliness with your panel hosts
for the weekend, and best of all, a huge array
of the most loved Supa-Star guests… you
never know who will be appearing. Plus, it’s
also when the biggest announcements are
made about upcoming shows and events, so
it’s pretty much essential that you attend!
This will be directly followed by Supanova’s
charity auction, where guests will auction
off all types of rare and collectible items for
awesome causes.
As well as the opening ceremony, there
are screenings of a handful of anticipated
anime features, special masterclasses from
the pros, and a host of Q&A sessions,
featuring the guests of Game Of Thrones,
Farscape, and more. This may be the only
chance to see some Supanova guests
together, and often these events are
combined with group photo shoots. Check
the Photo Schedule later in the programme
to see if this is available in your city.
Finally, Opening Night is also a fantastic
opportunity to beat the queue, and get in
early for your autograph and photograph
tokens for the weekend.

Once again, Supanova has mapped out its very own piece of Middle Earth, with
a host of stars from The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit making the
trip to Supanova.
JOHN
CALLEN
(OIN IN THE HOBBIT)
DOMINIC MONAGHAN
As feisty hobbit, Meriadoc “Merry” Brandybuck, he
helped save Middle Earth from the black-clawed
clutches of Sauron in The Lord Of The Rings, and also
starred as Bolt in X-Men Origins:Wolverine. On the
small screen, he formed part of the dynamic ensemble
in Lost, and also featured in David S. Goyer’s excellent
sci-fi series, FlashForward.
DEAN O’GORMAN
This young veteran of New Zealand television
(Hercules, Shortland St., Go Girls, Animalia) stars as the
courageous Fili in The Hobbit.
JOHN CALLEN
A veteran director, voiceover artist and actor, this
charismatic Kiwi stars as the dwarf, Oin, in The Hobbit.
MARK FERGUSON
A TV host (New Zealand’s Big Brother) and actor
(Hercules, Shortland St.), this Sydney-born performer
made his presence felt in The Lord Of The Rings as the
Elven-king Gil-galad.
WETA
As always, New Zealand’s make-up and special effects
movie maestros will take you behind the scenes of one
of the greatest film series in cinema history.
6
What’s the best thing
about playing Oin in The
Hobbit? “Being part of one of –
if not the – biggest film projects
in history as a member of a
wonderful cast of actors.”
What’s the worst thing
about playing Oin in The
Hobbit? “Never getting to work
with Cate Blanchett.”
Who is your favourite
character (apart from
Oin) in Middle Earth? “Cate
Blanchett…oh, sorry, Gandalf. I
like to think that it was a toss-up
between him and me for the role.
Can’t imagine why I didn’t get it!”
What’s the weirdest and/
or most interesting fan
encounter that you’ve had?
“One fan actually contracted
some work for me in Europe –
that was great! But knowing
that you’ve had a positive
influence in someone’s life is
amazing, and humbling.” How would you describe
Peter Jackson in five words
or less? “Funny, focused, familyoriented genius.”

SUMMER GLAU
Supanova regular, Summer Glau, has cult
credentials that put her right at the top of any
fan convention’s wish list. A prima ballerina with
beauty, poise, and style to burn, Summer first
won hearts as River Tam on Joss Whedon’s
Firefly, and has since become a geek poster
girl, appearing in Terminator:The Sarah Connor
Chronicles, The 4400, Dollhouse, The Cape, Alphas,
Chuck and The Big Bang Theory.
SEAN MAHER
Joining Sumer Glau at Supanova will be her
on-screen brother from Firefly, Sean Maher,
who brought charm, grit, and warmth to the
character of Simon Tam, a trauma surgeon
who throws everything away to save River
from the horrors of an Alliance Academy in
Joss Whedon’s cult favourite sci-fi series.
VIRGINIA HEY
Australian-born international model and
actress, Virginia Hey, has appeared in the

Warrior Woman in Mad Max 2, and as Pa’u
Zotoh Zhaan on the popular science fiction TV

TERRY MOLLOY
Terry Molloy is justifiably renowned
for his role as mad scientist and
intergalactic badass, Davros – the
creator of the Daleks – in Doctor
Who, appearing in “Resurrection Of
The Daleks” with Peter Davison,
“Revelation Of The Daleks” with
Colin Baker, and “Remembrance Of
The Daleks” with Sylvester McCoy.

GET UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH YOUR
FAVOURITE FILM AND TELEVISION STARS!
CHRISTIAN
ANTIDORMI
(TIBERIUS IN SPARTACUS:
WAR OF THE DAMNED)
LIAM MCINTYRE
Stepping into the very big shoes of the late
Andy Whitfield, charismatic Australian actor, Liam
McIntyre, has effectively made the role of Roman
gladiator and rebellion leader, Spartacus, his own
in the violent, bloody series, Spartacus: Blood And
Sand and Spartacus:War Of The Damned.
TODD LASANCE
With an impressive resume boasting roles in
Home And Away, Rescue: Special Ops, Crownies,
Cloudstreet, and The Underbelly Files, Australian
actor, Todd Lasance, swaggered into Supanova
territory with his striking performance as a
nefarious young Julius Caesar in Spartacus:War
Of The Damned.
CHRISTIAN ANTIDORMI
Starting out on the family-friendly Aussie
soap, Home And Away, young actor, Christian
Antidormi, has turned his image on its head
with his uncompromising performance as
the vicious, rapacious Tiberius, the scheming
son and right-hand-man of Roman military
mastermind, Crassus.
GARY JONES
Gary Jones has worked on television and on
stage in Britain and Canada, but is best known
for his recurring role as Sgt. Walter Harriman
in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. He has
also made guest appearances on other genre
faves like Sliders, Cold Squad, The Outer Limits,
Andromeda and Dead Like Me.
www.moshtix.com.au WE NEED YOU! Volunteer at www.supanova.com.au
What’s the best thing
about playing Tiberius
on Spartacus? “Besides his
incredible arc throughout the
season, he’s a bad guy. And playing
a bad guy is so much fun! He tried
so hard to constantly prove himself
to his father and everyone around
him, and the lengths that he went
to in order to achieve what he
wanted was really interesting and
exciting to play.”
Have you been to
Supanova before? If not,
what are you expecting?
“I haven’t! I can’t wait for the
experience, and to meet so many
awesome Spartacus fans.”
Are you prepared to
sign anything? Limbs,
foreheads... “Why not!?”
Are you a bit of a “geek”
yourself? “You betcha! I’ve been
the biggest Breaking Bad fan since
day one, and shows like Game Of
Thrones and The Walking Dead are
just phenomenal. With movies, the
Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings and
The Hobbit series fit right into my
geek mode.”
Which actor or director
would you be most
starstruck to meet? “The
list is endless... with actors, I’d love
to brain pick Leo DiCaprio, Tom
Hardy, and Al Pacino, just to name
a few. With directors, definitely
Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg
and Quentin Tarantino.” 9
The biggest names in film and TV are at
Supanova for your autograph signing and
photographing pleasure.
THE CREATORS OF DANGER 5

Dario Russo, the co-creator of SBS-TV’s
hilariously stylised sixties spy spoof, Danger 5,

ZOIE PALMER
Canadian actress, Zoie Palmer, won over Lost
Girl viewers as the insatiably curious doctor,
Lauren Lewis, the moment that her hand
lingered a little too long on the back of the
show’s succubus heroine, Bo. Palmer’s Lauren
has since become a fan favourite on this richly
inventive and unconventional sci-fi series.
STANISLAV IANEVSKI
Supanova never fails to bring someone from
Hogwarts down under, and this year it’s the
hulking Bulgarian actor, Stanislav Ianevski,
best known for playing the wizard, Viktor
Krum, in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.
Grab your remembralls for this one!
STEVE CARDENAS
A highly accomplished martial artist, Steve
Cardenas made his mark in Hollywood as
Rocky DeSantos (The Red Power Ranger
and later The Blue Zeo Ranger) in The
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series,

THE BEST VOICE
ACTORS
AND ANIMATORS
IN THE BUSINESS
The best acting isn’t always done in front of the camera, as
these brilliant voice actors and animators amply prove.
GARRY CHALK
A veteran performer of the stage and screen,
Garry Chalk is also a hard working voice actor, laying
down vocal tracks for over 1,500 animated productions, including Class Of The Titans, the 2002 remake
of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe, Beast
Wars, Beast Machines, and Transformers: Armada,
Energon and Cybertron.
RIKKI SIMONS
An artist and writer (Ranklechick And His Three-Legged
Cat, and Super Information Hijinks: Reality Check!),
Rikki Simons is most famous for his voice work, and in
particular for being the voice of the robot in a dog suit,
GIR, from Invader ZIM.
MONTY OUM
Monty is the director of animation for Rooster Teeth,
and has been hailed as one of the most original action
choreographers and animators working today. Prior
to creating the exciting fight sequences for Red Vs.
Blue, Monty created the online hit series, Dead Fantasy
and Haloid. JORDAN CWIERZ
Jordan is the creator and animator of the popular
Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures. He started out as
a fan making the animations for fun, and after being
discovered by the staff, Jordan was hired full time to
work on the production team.

GREAT
MOMENTS IN
VOICE ACTING
MERCEDES MCCAMBRIDGE
IN THE EXORCIST
Though Linda Blair starred as
the film’s possessed teen, veteran
actress, Mercedes McCambridge,
provided the horiffic dialogue that
tumbles from her mouth when she’s
in The Devil’s grasp.
ROBIN
WILLIAMS IN
ALADDIN
The much loved
comedian’s dazzling,
hyperactive, machine-gun delivery
as The Genie in Disney’s hugely
popular animated film, Aladdin,
was so funny and inventive that
many believed him deserving of an
Oscar nomination.
DOUGLAS RAIN IN 2001:
A SPACE ODYSSEY
As the calmly monstrous computer,
HAL 9000, in Stanley Kubrick’s
science fiction masterpiece, the
soothing, mellifluous, inventively
syncopated tones of veteran
Canadian actor, Douglas Rain, are
one of the film’s defining glories.
FRANK OZ IN
THE STAR WARS
FILMS
While created by
George Lucas, and
given form by Jim Henson and a
team of ingenious puppeteers, the
most memorable thing about the
diminutive Jedi master,Yoda, was
always his loveably sing-song voice,
which came courtesy of Muppets
veteran, Frank Oz.
ALEC BALDWIN IN THE
ROYAL TENENBAUMS
Hipster hero, Wes Anderson’s films
always have a profoundly literate
quality, and on The Royal Tenenbaums,
he pushed that conceit even further
by using the gruff, dramatic vocal
stylings of Alec Baldwin as the film’s
omnipresent, off-screen narrator.

Sterling Silver
Four of the best writers in the comic book industry have
joined forces to light a fuse of excitement and creativity in the world of
television animation.
Man Of Action is a four-man writing team
consisting of Duncan Rouleau (Alpha
Flight, Dark Horse Presents, JLA, Superman,
X-Factor, X-Men Unlimited, Adventures
Of Superman, New X-Men, World’s Finest:
Our Worlds At War, Teen Titans, Venom:The
Hunted), Joe Casey (Cable, The Incredible
Hulk, Uncanny X-Men, Avengers: Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes), Joseph “Joe” Kelly
(JLA, Steampunk, Daredevil, Space Ghost,
Superboy, X-Men), and Steven T. Seagle
(Alpha Flight, Batman: Black And White,
Green Lantern: Brightest Day, Blackest
Night, Justice League Quarterly, Superman,
Vertical, X-Men). This impressive foursome
is singularly well-known for their
contributions to the world of comics,
but as a team, they have proven to be an
even mightier force, cutting savvily into
the make-or-break arenas of television,
film, and video games. Man Of Action
was formed by these four industry
professionals, with the aim of dedicating
themselves to quality writing, and the
development of top-tier television
entertainment with a twist. They are best
known for creating the popular American
animated television series, Ben 10, which
currently airs in Australia on Cartoon
Network. They have also worked on
X-Men, Spiderman, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, Justice League, and many other
action titles. Meet the men who make the
magic happen at Supanova!

The artist
(Judge Dredd, Jonah Hex),
colourist (Watchmen,
The Killing Joke), and writer
(Razorjack) – who will be
appearing at Supanova in
both Brisbane and Adelaide –
talks comics.
What was the first comic
that you ever read? “The
classic British title, The Eagle,
which was bought for me by
my American uncle, Joe, when I
was six. He obviously knew the
educational value of comics!”
Who is your favourite
comic book character, and
why? “I know this is completely
disingenuous, but my own
character, Razorjack. She is evil
personified, and she scares me.”
Which comic book
character deserves their
own movie? “Okay, we’re
seeing a pattern here, but
Razorjack. I would pay to see
that! But I’d expect a free
ticket anyway.”
Who is your favourite
comic book artist, and
writer? “The artist would be
Dave Gibbons, for his clarity
of style, professionalism and
storytelling mojo…and for
giving me the opportunity to
work with him on one of the
greatest graphic novels of all
time, Watchmen. My favourite
writer would be Garth Ennis for
his sheer bloody mindedness and
not compromising on his work
with the big companies.”
If you could have any
super power, what would
it be? “I’d like to have Jesse
Custer’s power – the voice
of god.”
Brisbane RNA Showgrounds, November 8-10 2013 • Adelaide Showground, November 15-17 2013
Grabbing audiences by the throat from its first
scene, and continuing to squeeze without mercy
through three extraordinary seasons, Game
Of Thrones is the mightiest, meatiest, and
most violently unforgettable show on television.
Supanova is privileged to welcome Westeros’
major players to Australian shores.
GEORGE R.R. MARTIN
“A mind needs books as a sword
needs a whetstone, if it is to keep
its edge.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game Of Thrones
Born in 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey – the son of a longshoreman and a homemaker – George R. R. Martin first put professional pen to paper at an early age,
selling his stories of fantasy and horror to his neighbourhood friends for a penny a
pop. His first big money sale, however, was made in 1970 at the age of 21, with the
aspiring author selling “The Hero” to Galaxy for inclusion in its February, 1971 issue.
After working as a journalist, teacher, and director of chess tournaments, Martin
became a full-time writer in 1979, penning a number of novels and short stories.
After the failure of his 1983 novel, The Armageddon Rag, Martin began working in
television, where he toiled on The Twilight Zone, Max Headroom, and Beauty And The
Beast. In 1991, he returned to writing novels, and began what would eventually turn
into his epic, seven-volume fantasy series, A Song Of Ice And Fire. During completion
of A Dance With Dragons – the fifth novel in the series – Martin was tapped to
executive produce a television adaptation of his A Song Of Ice And Fire books. The
rest, as they say, is history. The sword-swinging, blood-letting, fire-breathing brilliance
of Game Of Thrones can all be traced directly back to the mighty George R. R.
Martin. Make sure to thank him at Supanova.
LENA HEADEY (Brisbane exclusive)
As Game Of Thrones’ sinister, conniving,
incestuous Cersei Lannister, British actress,
Lena Headey, has rewritten the rulebook
on small screen villainy, giving body and
spirit to a character alternately compelling,
maddening, hypnotic, hateful, sorrowful,
sympathetic and cruelly inexplicable. Amongst
a cast of strange, unforgettable characters,
Cersei stands tall as a true figure of fear. “I’ve
had people say, ‘You’re that bitch on TV.’ But
what’s more worrying is when people come
up to you and tell you they think Cersei is
really cool,” Headey said in a recent interview.
“As the show’s gone on, people are beginning to understand what I’m doing with
her. You can’t ever have dark characters without a bit of light – and people are now
starting to be like, ‘Oh, I get it...’ It’s layering.” Cersei Lannister, however, isn’t Lena
Headey’s only hard-as-nails on-screen creation, with the actress also starring in 300
and its upcoming sequel, 300: Rise Of An Empire, The Brothers Grimm, Dredd, The
Purge, The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones and TV’s Terminator:The Sarah Connor
Chronicles. All hail the queen!

“Game Of Thrones is so good, even
though in half the scenes, I have
no clue what anyone is saying.”
Actor/writer/director,
Seth Rogen
“Holy Mother. I have nothing
quippy or cool to say re: Game Of
Thrones. I’m shattered.”Actress,
Elizabeth Banks, tweets
about the horiffic events
of The Red Wedding.
“I don’t know what just happened
in Game Of Thrones. I’m in shock.”
So does British pop singer,
Ed Sheeran
“I’m really loving Game Of Thrones
right now. I would love to know
what the episodic budget is for
that show, because it’s so damn
impressive looking. As far as
narrative television, Game Of
Thrones is probably the only
appointment viewing that I have.”
Family Guy and
American Dad creator,
Seth MacFarlane
“As the
plane was
landing in
Ireland,
I was
humming
the Game
Of Thrones
theme
music…
out loud! I got to visit the set,
which was amazing. I even got to
sit on The Iron Throne, and I got
to see everything. I went through
all of the departments, and I even
got a Winterfell candle…I was
very excited about that.” Lord
Of The Rings star, Elijah
Wood, might just be the
biggest celebrity fan of
them all…one candle to
rule them all?

GAME OF THRONES:
FAMOUS FANS

The fan love for the amazing
Game Of Thrones has
even spread into the celebrity
stratosphere, with Hollywood’s
(and Australia’s) biggest names
proclaiming their love for TV’s
most gruesomely compelling series.
“I was given the DVDs over the
summer period, so I watched
them one after the other. I don’t
get many lazy afternoons, but
I managed to have a few, and
now I’m a bit of an addict. I
anxiously await the new episode
each Monday night. I like it
because the intrigue between
the contending families is enough
to sustain the storyline. I’m not
usually a consumer of things
with fantasy elements, but I very
much enjoy it. I’m barracking
for The Khaleesi, the mother of
dragons. I was a little bit shocked
when Ned Stark got killed off so
early on. He sort of had ‘hero’
written all over his forehead,
so I assumed that he would be
a central heroic character for
all of it or most of it. I didn’t
expect the grisly end so early.”
Former Australian Prime
Minister, Julia Gillard

MARK ADDY
As Game Of Thrones’ big, bold,
blustery King Robert Baratheon,
British actor, Mark Addy, loomed
large over the first season of
the blood-drenched instant
classic. A hard-drinking, hardpartying monarch whose death
set in motion the grinding cogs
of Machiavellian scheming that
have come to define the show’s
three increasingly compelling
seasons, King Robert Baratheon
was a truly larger than life figure
brought to vivid life by the gifted Mark Addy. “The King is a complex character.
He’s depressive, he’s drunk, and he likes the whores,” said the hard working
British actor, who rose to fame in The Full Monty and The Thin Blue Line, before
booking roles in the likes of A Knight’s Tale, Sin Eater, Robin Hood and The Time
Machine. Bow before him!
JEROME FLYNN
“When you’re in something like Game Of
Thrones, and you get the chance to play
a part like Bronn, with that cast and with
Peter Dinklage, it’s wonderful. That’s what
got me Ripper Street. The writer saw it, and
was thinking of me when he was writing,
so it definitely opened avenues. It’s been
a nice little midlife present. It gave me
a career back.” Though he’s been acting
since the mid-eighties (most notably on
the successful series, Soldier Soldier and
Between The Lines), it took his wonderfully
rugged and slyly hilarious performance
as Bronn – the hardened soldier and
fearsome fighting man who becomes
friend and fiercely loyal protector to Peter
Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister – in Game Of Thrones to turn Jerome Flynn into
an international cult favourite. Backing that up with his equally strong turn as
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake in TV’s Ripper Street, this charismatic Brit is
now the hardman of the moment.

Brisbane RNA Showgrounds, November 8-10 2013 • Adelaide Showground, November 15-17 2013
Supanova proves that the pen is sometimes mightier than the sword
with appearances from a number of the best authors in fantasy,
action, and science fiction.
SCOTT BAKER
The author of the action
adventure novel, The
Rule Of Knowledge –
who will be appearing at Supanova
in both Brisbane and Adelaide
– counts down his five favourite
cinematic thrillers.
SAMANTHA SHANNON
(Adelaide exclusive)
At the age of just 21, the movie rights
to this author’s dazzling debut fantasy
novel, The Bone Season – the first in
a proposed seven-part series – have
been snapped up by actor/producer,
Andy Serkis (yep, Gollum), through
his company, The Imaginarium Studios.
D.M. CORNISH
(Brisbane exclusive)
Inspired by Star Wars, C.S. Lewis
and J.R.R Tolkien, this Australian
author is the fertile mind behind the
children’s/young adult high fantasy
trilogy, Monster Blood Tattoo, a dazzling
mix of Dickens, arcane science, and
maddening monsters.
ALIENS
“This was the first movie where I
was really scared for the heroes.
Locked in a room, the aliens just
kept coming...”
THE TERMINATOR
“This was my introduction to
Arnie. The idea that this machine
just will not stop – that it doesn’t
sleep, doesn’t rest, and will pursue
you until you’re dead – was a big
deal for a six-year-old! I loved
the concept of time travel in this
film too.”
TERMINATOR 2
“This is one of the best sequels
that I’ve seen. It expanded the
scope of the story, and gave much
more insight into the world. It also
successfully turned the terrifying
Terminator into the good guy!”
INCEPTION
“One of the best thrillers of recent
times, this is a smart, action-filled
movie a cut above the average for
its cerebral content. I particularly
liked the time scales explored with
dreams inside of dreams.”
SEAN WILLIAMS
(Adelaide exclusive)
This Aurealis and Ditmar Awardwinning Australian author is most
famous for his excursions to a
galaxy far, far away as a key writer
of Star Wars universe novels, and
has also penned the acclaimed The
Broken Land series.
KERI ARTHUR
(Adelaide exclusive)
This author of The New York Times
bestselling Riley Jenson Guardian
series – about a vampire/werewolf
operative – has now written more
than 25 books of horror, fantasy,
science fiction, and romance.
www.moshtix.com.au WE NEED YOU! Volunteer at www.supanova.com.au
UNDERWORLD
“This was underrated when it came
out. Seeing it again at the cinema
recently showed off the amazing
production design and look of the
film. It gave life to an age-old myth
in a cool new way... Blade crossed
with Alias.”

Any Supanova
attendee will tell
you that cosplay is definitely
one of the highlights of the

JUST A FEW HIGHLIGHTS…
FROM PAGE TO SCREEN:
SCREENWRITING AND
FILMMAKING MASTERCLASS
Steve Worland (a screenwriter on Farscape) and
Scott Baker (the onset colourist for The Hobbit)
take you through the basics of crafting a winning
script, and also advise on the principles of top-notch editing.
The pair will also share pointers on how to pitch your script –
successfully. Not for the faint-hearted!
CREATING KICK
ASS CHARACTERS
Bringing a memorable
character to life on the
page is one of the biggest
challenges facing any
scribe, and the masters of
the craft – including Jay
Kristoff (Stormdancer), Joel
Shepherd (the Cassandra
Kresnov series) and Keri
Arthur (the Riley Jensen
series) – show you how
it’s done, while also
debating the most kick ass
characters of all time!
CREATING EPIC
FANTASY
The fantasy genre has
exploded in recent years,
and a host of well-versed
panelists – including Ian
Irvine (Tainted Realm
Trilogy), Richard Harland
(Song Of The Slums), Colin
Taber (United States Of
Vinland) and D.M Cornish
(Monster Blood Tattoo)
– will be discussing the
phenomenon, as well as
crafting creatures, worlds
and characters. It’s going
to be epic!

TIPS FOR HAVING
A SUPER SUPANOVA!
1. Tickets
Pre-buy your tickets from Moshtix
(www.moshtix.com.au) to avoid long
queues on the day. Get in faster and
get in first!
2. Food
The food at Supanova is supplied by
our venues so it’s generally fast food,
sandwiches, tea, coffee and desserts. If
you have a special diet (we’re looking
at you vegetarians!), please consider
bringing food with you. Supanova is a
drug and alcohol-free event.
3. Cosplay Photos
Lots of people attend Supanova
in costume, and they look terrific.
If you’d like to take a photo with
someone in costume, please ask them
nicely and be considerate of other
patrons (don’t block the aisles!). If
you’re an intending cosplayer, please
remember that Supanova is a family
event, so avoid dressing in dangerous,
unwieldy or risqué costumes!
4. Glomping
Some fans of anime like glomping.
For the uninitiated, a glomp is a
cross between a hug and a gentle
tackle. Supanova does not encourage
glomping, but if you feel like you
must, please ask your “glompee”
first! Uninvited glomping will get you
evicted from the event!
30
Whether you’re going for a day or the
whole weekend, we want you to have
a blast! Here are ten tips for
getting the most out of your
Supanova experience…
5. Timetable
Supanova’s daily timetable can
be found in the middle of this
event guide, and is also available
as an iPhone app from Guidebook
(download it free from the App
Store). Check out the timetable
so you can organise your day
effectively… we don’t want you to
miss out on a thing!
your friends, and your belongings.
Wear comfortable shoes, be sunsmart when outdoors and stay
hydrated (we wouldn’t want you
passing out when you meet your
favourite guest!). Also, be careful with
your possessions – you don’t want
to lose something special you’ve just
purchased or had signed.
6. Child Awareness
For parents and guardians: as you
enter Supanova, agree on a place
to meet your child if she or he gets
lost at the expo. In the unfortunate
incident that your child does become
missing, you can report this at
Supanova’s Information Desk (see
the map in the middle of this event
guide). You can also pick up a “lost
child ID wristband” there so you can
be contacted if you do mistakenly
part ways with your child.
8. Cash
There are ATMs available at the
venues, but queues can be lengthy!
It’s a good idea to withdraw your
cash prior to arriving at the event as
no one wants to spend more time
in queues than is necessary (though
it’s a great way to make new friends!).
If you’re after an autograph or
photo, check the Quick Guest Guide
on Page 32 so you can include it in
your budget.
Mature Content: Supanova is a
family event and our retailers are
responsible folks, but some
exhibitors stock material that could
be considered ‘adults only’. Please
note it’s your responsibility to prevent
your child from stumbling across
certain subjects.
9. Transport
For a more enjoyable day, research
the public transport options to and
from the event prior to the expo.
Alternatively, check out parking or car
pooling options. Parking availability
and price is at the discretion of the
venue.
7. Take Care Out There
Please take good care of yourself,
10.

The 501st Legion & the Rebel Legion are worldwide costuming organisations that consist of fans representing the bad guys and the good guys of the
Star Wars universe. The Southern Dewback Garrison and Ryloth Base are the South Australian chapters of these organisations.
The Southern Dewbacks and the members of Ryloth Base come together many times a year to do work for various charity organisations and community events
including: Cancer Council SA, Leukemia foundation, Red Cross, Arthritis SA, Womens & Childrens Hospital, Childhood Cancer Association, Novita
and Canteen, to name a few.
If you ever wanted to become your favourite character from the Star Wars saga, these guys & girls
from the 501st & Rebel Legion can help that dream become a reality.
Various characters will be on site throughout both days raising money for Asperlutely Autsome which support families living with autism spectrum disorders &
will be available for photo opportunities with the public.
Go see them at their stand at Supanova Adelaide 2013 and join in the fun !
