MFF update! Also, I got scammed.
10 months ago
A comically long story shortened.
Me and
Seadog_driftwood will be attending MFF together.
He and I had a room. Then "Byte" invited me to one in Main, for cheaper. I canceled the room and we paid the deposit. Then it turned out Byte was a scam and the room confo was fake. I thought he was just also autistic and reticent to share info, but.
Timo, whom Byte had kicked out of the room, invited me and Seadog to the one he'd bought. We paid our deposits. Then it turned out the evidence he'd given me was fake.
I'm autistic, I'm sorry, I trust autistic people, and we've both been in the Fandom since it was much smaller and scammers didn't have such big fish to jet...
We found a couch in a DJ's hotel room, and need to pay for that at the hotel itseld. I made this in hopes it'll give me some room to breathe and make rent without relying on Artist's Alley to save me.

Anyway, come say hi! We'll be all three days at the con and I'm aiming for the conlang meetup.

May the goodwill of others
bring back those lost funds,
and more importantly
– the trust in the people.
Conventions invite you
to let your guard down,
and sadly, there are those
who are willing
to exploit that knowledge.
this is the worst, I'm so sorry D:
