My AC Dos and Don't
17 years ago
I stole most of this stuff from
lizardbeth so THERE! Hell, I'm even using the beginning lines because my feelings were similar.
I'm sure many of you are already flooded with "I'm going to Anthrocon, YAY!" posts, so I apologize if you're already sick of them before my adding to them :)
Here's some general guidelines to help your encounter go as smoothly as possible:
* the Flain is totally fine with you saying hello. Be be it in the hall, at the table, exc. I go to conventions to meet people, socialize, drink, and potentially make friends. A wave is good, a handshake is fine, I hug is a bit much but okay (sometimes I've been known to pull people into bro-hugs). Much beyond that including 'scritches' and licks are WAYYYY over the comfort barrier unless we are really friendly or i know you very well.
* the Flain is single and looking. I highly doubt any suiters of interest will make themselves public at the con but if they do, well okay. Just realize that I do have standards and I value commitment and friendship over looks so don't expect to get too far in 3 days.
* the Flain does not REQUIRE tokens of gratitude but will humbly accept them.
