One Con Glory

One Con Glory is an in-the-works independent feature film based on the geek romantic comedy novella of the same name. We’re in the very early stages of development right now, but watch this space for updates! You can also read about our journey on io9 or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

The Story: Diehard fangirl Julie loves Buffy marathons, fighting about comic book continuity, and being left alone. But more than anything, Julie loves Glory Gilmore, a mostly-forgotten C-List superheroine from the world of ’80s comics. For years, she’s longed to reclaim the precious Glory action figure that’s eluded her grasp so many times before. And one fateful weekend, she has the chance to do just that. Of course, no great quest is ever simple. Before she can triumph over the forces of loudmouth nerds and clueless Mundanes everywhere, Julie will have to deal with an avalanche of unexpected obstacles. In the midst of battles for videogame supremacy and frustrating encounters with a supremely irritating TV pretty boy, she’ll be forced to reconsider her fandom and reevaluate her life. She might even have to talk to people.

About the Book: Published by Alert Nerd Press in 2009, One Con Glory has earned praise from Pop Candy’s Whitney Matheson, Guardian of the Dead author Karen Healey, io9′s Lauren Davis, The Middleman creator Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and The Book Smugglers. For more info or to buy, go here.
