In the course of its nearly twenty years\, it has become the standard bearer and role model for conventions that focus on the literature. A typical Readercon features over 100 writers\, editors\, and critics (attracting prominent figures from Canada\, the U.K.\, and occasionally even Australia) and more than 400 of their readers. Readercon is the only small convention regularly attended by such giants of literary sf as Samuel R. Delany\, John Crowley\, Barry N. Malzberg\, and Jonathan Lethem.

This was more a relaxicon than a convention in the traditional sense (such as featuring guests of honor or holding a formal program). The event was so enjoyable that it was repeated in 1976. At this time it moved to October to honor the club's anniversary and called itself LOSCON for the first time. It was held twice in 1977\, the second that year being the first with an official guest of honor\, Dr. Jerry Pournelle. By 1978 it had finally settled into an annual November affair\, the Los Angeles Regional Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. Then starting with LOSCON 9 in 1982\, the Thanksgiving weekend was chosen and became subsequently the traditional date. LOSCON 7 in 1980 was the first to top 1\,000 members\, and attendance has not dropped below a thousand since 1984. LOSCON was held in Pasadena from 1983 through 1989\, in Burbank from 1993 through 2003\, and in 2004 it returned to Los Angeles itself.
