EXTREMELY UPSET. NEED HELP FOR FC 2015.
11 years ago
General
WARNING! RANTING AND UPSET-NESS INCOMING! WARNING!
Hello everyone! Just wanted to say, that Nynaeve and I as of 1:16am Monday, will not be selling artwork at FC 2015 due to the fact that there was a typo in the email on the application and as a result, their notification of our acceptance bounced, and we ended up losing out on the table space.
We have been selling artwork at FC for 16 years now, using the same email address for all those years. Makes me feel like absolute garbage, that a simple typo that could have been fixed in less then 30 seconds, is now costing Nynaeve and I a good chunk of income, a chance to get out advertising concerning our projects, and in general, what has been for the last 16 years a wonderful experience? Thank you all very much.
I am feeling so upset right now. So g*d damned ANGRY and PISSED OFF. All commissions are currently on hold while we deal with this. Sorry, but this much emotion is not conducive to a good artistic atmosphere. Mind you, I haven't even told Nynaeve yet. That's gonna be fun.
UPDATE: We got into contact with someone in the Dealer's Den. Apparently, the problem with getting a table, is NOT that we were accepted and then due to the glitch, had that opportunity taken when the contact failed, but that we were NOT accepted. And the email issue simply PREVENTED us from being notified. Which leads to the following...What is the POINT then, of having a limited timeframe to accept applications? You end up with a bunch of people all panicking and rushing to get their applications turned in, thinking that first-come will be first seated. That apparently isn't the case.

I hear there is a waiting list in place, plus the Furry Marketplace is opening soon too.
I was talking with another friend of mine who tried selling in the Dealer's den at Califur, he said that no one really stopped by, however in a twist of fate, he was relegated to the Marketplace outside. There he actually sold out of most of his stuff.
I can understand though, needing to sell in the Dealer's room.
Let me know!
