Alright! I'm back from FC, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I had so much fun! It was my first furcon! :3 I met sooo many people that I wanted to meet, hung out with a lot of wonderful people. It was just a blast.

I actually arrived on Tuesday, which I'll never arrive two days before the con starts, again. I wanted to be there extra early, and extra prepared. I'll never do that again. Only one day early, from now on.

Thursday, I actually met up with  rukis,  sidian, and  keet, and spent the evening with them, and we had dinner together, at Johnny Rockets. Fucking AWESOME restaurant! Rukis is sooooo awesome and wonderful to talk to and hang out with. Rukis gave me a print of the
gift art she did for me, for Cruelty! I couldn't beliiiiiieeeeeve that! That was I also went to opening ceremonies, which wasn't too big of a deal. On Friday, the Dealer's Den opened, and holy shiiiiiit! I went in there, talked to ALL of my favourite artists who were there, including pestering rukis, and I FINALLY bought my shirt from sidian, but I wasn't able to afford all the shirts that I wanted to get. I'm sorrry. >.< Believe me, I really wanted the other two shirts, too. I also met up with  tojo-the-thief, and her boyfriend,  sabur fiiiiinally, and hung out with them for a while. They're both awesome. :D Tojo is silly. Remember that. :P evolus and a friend of his actually met up with us in the Creator's Lounge, too, which was cool. I did some hanging out with him later on during the con.

I talked to  ssirrus a few times, and she's lovely. :) I bought a print from her of her AAAWESOME Glowing picture. I looooove that picture. She draws anthros kissing better than any other artist. :D I also talked to FurPlanet and Sofawolf. I bought FIVE of  kyell's books, and he signed aaaaallll of them. I talked to him quite a few times during the con. He's freaking amazing. I must remind people that he's part of the reason I'm writing again. Seriously. And he's awesome in person. I also bought Dog's Days of Summer. I hung out with  whyteyote for HALF the fucking con. He's one of my favourite people, EVER. I love that guy. He keeps the passion in me to write. I met kadath, too, and he's so cool! I met up with  keovi and briefly hung out with her, aaand I met  blotch! Eeeeee! <3 They're so freaking cool! I briefly hung out with  kenket, as well, and I actually talked to her a lot more than I talked to  blackteagan. They're both wonderful, but Kenket is suuuch a sweetheart. :) And of course, they complimented me, again, and again, on my voice over for their "River's Tryst" picture, which kind of made me glee.

By the way, look at me. Now look at Blotch. Now look at Nordguard. Think about that. :D

I talked to about half the artists who worked on Heathen City, met up with shinigamigirl, darknatasha, hbruton, and talked to all of them for a bit. I also get to hang out with shiuk, and he's freaking cool. I talked to and hung out with graveyardgreg for quite a while, too. He's my editor. Read his books! And read mine, too! I still want MORE people to read the new version of my story, and it's actually quite shorter, much tighter, more condensed, and overall... better! Read it and please give some feedback! Comments are appreciated! You can find the story Here! I'll tell you about Greg later. We had dinner together. I also met up with  meesh a couple times, and he's aaaaaawesome! He bought us some Blue Moon, and I love Blue Moon. Then we sat down, had a drink, and just talked for a while. That was very, very pleasant, and I really enjoyed my time with him. I finally met  straydog, and he's fucking adorable! He gave me my badge in person. I spent a lot of time hanging out with aquilus and kandrel. They're both wonderful. And got me drunk. A lot.

I also hung out with narse and the rest of the Bad Dragon guys. They're aaaawesome.

Saturday was definitely one of the best days of the con. I met up with a lot of people again, hung out with friends. I went to  buckhopper's voice acting workshop, which is something I'd really been looking forward to. He brokedown a lot of basics about voice acting, editing, directing, and technical stuff. I think it was pretty much what I expected and more, because Buck seriously knows his stuff. He's a better voice actor than ME. And he's a better editor. It's funny, because he showed everyone some editing, and a lot of people had no fucking idea what he was doing. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there with a stupid grin on my face, because I've done ALL OF THAT myself. :D He's just better at it than I am, and more experienced, but I can still do a damn good job of it myself. It was a great panel, though! He also gave out free mics! I grabbed one and gave it to Rukis. Imagine whyyyyyy.

Apparently one night, rukis, tojo-the-thief, sabur, and kadath got together one night and listened to my adaptation of Cruelty. Holy hell. I didn't hear the end of it the next day. XD I heard Tojo was going to moan at me. And Rukis buried her head in the pillow. XD It's yoooouuuur fault for writing that stuff, you know!

That night was the Storytelling panel with me, rukis, meesh, and kyell (Kyell Gold), and it went really, really well. We had a FULL audience. Seriously, the room was FULL! I think we were all surprised by that. By the way, these three like to joke around. Holy hell, laughs were all over the place. It was a fun panel, though, and I'm very glad I managed to organize it. It was definitely an honour to do a panel with three people who I really like and admire. After the panel was over, Kyell did the Unsheathed live podcast, and after that, I got to meet his mate, Kit, who is just a loooovely, looovely person. I also hung out with both tieran, and fuzzwolf from FurPlanet. I kept Fuzzwolf up late. :P I kept thanking him for all the generous help he gave me when I released Cruelty.

I also met up with jibba, and he was wonderful to hang out with. His boyfriend is also sweet. It's nice to finally meet him in person. :D And I also met fluke! He was so freaking wonderful. He was definitely one of the highlights of the convention. Him and I were all over each other and drunk as fuck. XD

I also attended some of Kyell Gold's other panels. A couple of them had Rikoshi, and Not Tube in them, and they're cool, too.

I also got EVERYONE who was at FC, that contributed to X, to sign my copy, and they were all happy to! :D

I can't very well list every single person I met or hung out with, but you all know who you are! Thank you all so much for making my first fur convention an amazing experience that I've never forget! I look forward to FC next year! For now, though, it's MFF!
