ScotiaCon 2017, brief report
8 years ago
It was wonderful. That about covers it. ^^
Seriously, just a wonderful time all around, it's a really warm and friendly convention full of fantastic people. Plenty of hilarity to be had in some of the panels, with really warm fuzzy hugs with some amazing suiters between them. I started the con struggling with varied anxieties and stress, and it was a big warm hug from
DonDrakore that lifted my mood and kind of turned things around for me and got me having a fun time. :)
Each year I come away a bit more able to approach fursuiters to say hi and share hugs, and to strike up conversations with strangers. And each year I come away wanting a Dorey fursuit of my own a little bit more. In fact I think this is the year I'm actually gonna get one. o..o
As ever I was focused more on just enjoying myself and experiencing the con than on taking photos, but I managed to get a few cute ones all the same. They can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/doran.....57662370225028
And again as always, a HUGE thank-you to the con staff, crew, hotel staff, fellow attendees, and basically everyone involved in making the convention possible. It's truly a highlight of my year.

At least that's what was done for me, and it was the beginning of me having a really good con. :)
Not every suiter likes giving long or tight or mooshy hugs and that's sad, but the rare ones that wrap you up, oh my gosh. I am in husbandos with them. Also if you get a suit I just wanna film you comforting people with hugs in suit. Ah, it'd be heart melting. It would be exactly you. ;n;
That and I just wanna transform into a dragon already, and just getting a Doreysuit seems like about the best way to do that. ^^
i promise to help you past any of your anxieties, what are they?
Ehe, Dorey anxieties, an itemised list... that's half the trouble is that a lot of the time I can't even figure them out myself. Which I worry makes me really difficult to deal with sometimes. I'm not able to tell people 'I like these things, and I don't like these things.' I'll just... get really uncomfortable with situations I find myself in but have a really hard time being able to explain or describe WHY.
