The ABC network's hit television series Once Upon a Time has garnered a wide fan base for its fantastic concept: characters from fairy tales are transported to a fictional town without memory of how they got there (think of it as Disney and Lost combined). The show is so popular that it spawned its own convention, Regal Con. Regal Con celebrates OUaT and allows fans the chance to meet, grab photos and autographs with the actors, dress in cosplay, enjoy an Evil Regal Cocktail Party, and listen to discussion panels on “Heroes and Villains,” “Sex & Violence in Fairytales,” and “Fandom Creativity.” Q&A panels with cast members also allow fans to get more insight on their beloved show, which is bound to be a wicked good time.
