Back from MFF
10 years ago
General
Back from MFF and I gotta say it was an amazing time. This is exactly what I needed to get me excited about the fandom again and just out of the doldrums of my own life.
This was the first year I've been staff of any con. I was the art track lead, and I want to give special thanks to
and
who were incredibly kind to answer my call when we needed more artists for panels. Not only that but stepping up with some amazing panel content. I have heard nothing but good things about it all.
A super special thanks to
who saved my ass and covered a panel at the last minute so nothing had to be cancelled. A 10 am panel on sunday. Seriously saved my butt this weekend.
Being staff was super awesome. MFF has been my favorite con to work with hands down. I've done bunches of panels at lots of different cons, and i've always enjoyed it, always been treated well, but I must say MFF has felt the most welcoming and appreciative. This is of course my own opinion and experience, I'm not trying to say I was mistreated anywhere.
Being staff was even better.
Working for MFF has been impressive. The organization for what I was involved in was awesome, and Kodi, the programming director was incredibly kind and patient as I learned how to do the art lead position. 10/10 if you get a chance to work with this con then take them up on it.
On to the actual con stuff. I roomed with
and
. Deo is my bro, it was hella fun and Mantis is incredible. They are so fuckin cool and chill. They and I instantly bonded over my phone because I'm a huge Bioshock infinite nerd and my phone is named songbird. Not a lot of awesome stories for the room, it was just the perfect set up. Everyone was so respectful of everyone else. Just the right amount of chill, but the right amount of interaction. so awesome.
I ran into a million and one people at con and honestly dealt with like 0 drama all weekend, it was astounding. This has been on of the most chill cons i've ever gone to.
The panels went really well and I want to thank everyone for coming. It's given me a new fire to work on my guide and make it awesome. I want to thank
the fursuit GOH for running the "how to commission a fursuit" panel with me. it was a packed room and super fun, even though we went over time (whoops) great person to work with.
There's too many people to name here, seriously, this was a con where I got to hang with everyone, and even friends of friends. it was a good time.
I think the final thing that happened. I got to finally meet
in suit. After sort of missing each other back and forth, and we got some super adorable pics which I will post soon (overall I adore the pictures I got at this con)
Lastly, I want to honestly thank everyone that took the effort to come and talk to me at con. I had a bunch of people talk about the fursuit guide, or the little comics, and honestly I genuinely am so grateful and flattered every single time. It really does mean so much to me to see that people find my stuff helpful and I'm kinda at a loss for words thinking about all of the people I've managed to help, or amuse, or even just interact with.
This weekend was awesome, and truly gave me incredible perspective again into how wonderful the furry fandom is, and the astounding people that I get the interact with here. I hope I can stay in the fandom for years to come. Thank you all so much. really. really really. I can't express how touched I am by those comments.
