FAU6 Review in a nutshell!
12 years ago
FurAffinity United was a blast!
In a nutshell, it was probably THE best Con I could have gone to as a first Furry Con!
There were just under 700 attendees. There was an on stage marriage proposal. We raised $10,516 for the NJSPCA and actually made every one of the police officers there cry in happiness! The panels were great, very informative!
The only hi-cough was the first night when the fire alarm got pulled ...twice... at about 3AM and some rambunctious drunks. However! This was nobody from the con's fault! There were some disgruntled people from a wedding there that did it! The police had nothing but nice things to say about all the furries! They said that if everyone in the world were like the furries; such a diverse and polite group of people who can come together and work together and enjoy themselves so much, the world would be a much better place.
My favorite thing was hanging out in the Zoo and simply being able to draw and meet other artists!
My personal thanks to the following people for being so kind to me and making it an amazing experience!:

Well, Some advice
In regards to hyper in general, we discussed it for about 30 minutes all the aspects of life as a hyper. Some thought provocation, the methods of growth be it nature, science or magic. The conflict these characters face in their worlds etc. It was very thought provoking and I feel that thinking about not just 'big boobs' but instead the actual character's lives, their conflicts and struggles. Obviously these characters are hyper sexualized, but not every one of them is sex symbol. Imagine the simple office worker, the construction worker, alllllll those other jobs and things, just as sexy. Also, take a look at what comes out of a hyper world; clean-up services, hyper insurance, new fabrics and textiles, all these things that if you simply sit back and think about to make it a functioning world where hyper is normal... is a whole lot of fun. Another thing that was thought provoking... in a hyper world, is 'normal' size considered sexy to them?
I could ramble on for a while about this and do it zero justice! It was a very fun panel!
Gotta say those people who pulled the fire alarm were kinda being jerks, but I could be misreading it. I'm currently on painkillers for my surgery so I might be misreading lD
Cute suit, by the way, and you did well in the Fursuit Games.
Sorry about that. Good for you, though, that the con was a success.
