- In a world…
- …where fandom is family…
- …one nonprofit…
- …armed with nothing but folding tables…
- …and a frankly unreasonable number of colours…
- Glint, off-screenIt’s seven. There are seven.
- …dared to stay after the con…
- …and fold the chairs.

Every colour. Every story. Every single volunteer.
Coming soon to a browser near you. (You’re already in it.)
With sound, if your sound is on. Captions are always on, because the narrator mumbles.
From the studio that brought you a desktop in a browser……a profile page from a certain era of the internet……and a website that is just the facts…comes the exact same nonprofit, with considerably more lens flare.

Every corner of the PrismaCorp site is a film. Some of them are serious. Most of them are not. All of them are free.

Continuity department
The PCU Universe Map
Every film is connected. Mostly by folding chairs. Point at a star (or Tab to it) to see how; press it to go there.
Hover or Tab to a star. The Continuity department will explain. (It’s PrismaOS. It was asleep.)
Every known connection, in words
- PrismaOS is always exactly one click away from The Standard.
- PrismaOS rents a window, rent-free, to Paint.
- Paint is still arguing about who invented colour with Light Lab.
- The Standard insists on citations, just like Prismapedia.
- PrismaSpace shares a visitor counter (and a nostalgia problem) with Home Page '98.
- Run to 404 thinks every page is a level, just like PrismaQuest.
- PrismaCorp Industries™ keeps trying to schedule a synergy meeting with PrismaOS.
- PrismaCorp Industries™ shares a marketing department (one headset) with As Seen On TV.
- As Seen On TV cuts to a break at the emotional bit, just like The Confessional.
- PrismaQuest shares a folding chair with THE UNFOLDED.
- THE UNFOLDED is the prime suspect in Who Folded the Chairs?.
- Who Folded the Chairs? is still waiting on a citation from Prismapedia.
- Who Folded the Chairs? ends at midnight with somebody folding chairs, just like A Very Con Christmas.
- A Very Con Christmas lent its tinsel (it was never returned) to The Glinties.
- The Glinties had its stage lit in seven passes by Light Lab.
- The Glinties shares a couch (different lighting) with The Confessional.
- Volunteer Orientation (1987) shares a clock that blinks 12:00 forever with Home Page '98.
- Volunteer Orientation (1987) has volunteers talking straight to camera, just like The Confessional.

Behind the scenes
The real stars carry the folding tables.
Every film in the PCU is made by The Crew: volunteers. They carry the banner, staff the table, keep the lights on, and fold the chairs after the con. No headshots required.
The casting call is always open, and the application is real.
Answer the casting callBox office
Tickets are free. Popcorn is a donation.
Every film in the PCU is free to watch, forever. If you’d like to keep the lights on behind the screen, the popcorn stand is a real donation to PrismaCorp, a real nonprofit for the fandom community.
Buy popcorn (it’s a donation)The popcorn is metaphorical. The donation is not.

Behind this curtain: the whole cast, a theme tune, the biggest end credits in the PCU, and something we are contractually forbidden to call a secret ending. (It’s a secret ending.)

Secret ending
[The theatre is empty. Every chair is folded… except one. Glint is sitting in it, very still, hoping nobody notices.]
Glint: Psst. You stayed! Want to help fold the last chair?
Help fold real chairs (volunteer with us)
That’s the actual ending. The chairs are real. So are the volunteers who fold them.
Please remain seated.
There is a post-credits scene. There is always a post-credits scene.

Scroll to roll. Nobody is going to roll them for you. That’s not how we do things here.
