bladesparkSo, the con is almost here. Less than a week away now! As a fair number of you folks reading this will be there, I thought I'd post one of those little "guides to meeting me at a con" thing. So, here goes.
1. I am there for buisness. What does this mean? It means that while I do enjoy talk, chatter, gossip, etc., while I'm manning my booth potential customers and people who want to talk business get priority over people who just want to chat.
2. That said, I do like to chat, so don't feel shy. Go ahead, come up, introduce yourself. I was rather sad last year to hear a lot of people say "Hey, I saw you, but I was too shy/you looked busy/I didn't think you wanted to be bugged, so I didn't say hello." I only bite on request, so say hi. I don't mind, really!
3. Please don't be offended if I have no clue who you are. "Hey, I'm Redfox48975, we IMed about that tail once, remember!" Uh, no, I don't remember, sorry. I talk to a LOT of furs online, and it's usually about "that tail." Almost every day I get at least one IM from somebody new who wants to discuss fursuits, or furries, or whatever. That means that since last FC I've talked to close to 300 different furs. Unless we talk a LOT I'm probably not going to remeber you.
4. I am huggable. I am NOT yiffable. Just so you know. I like cuddles and scritches, but if you start getting fresh, you're probably going to get growled at.
5. If you buy stuff I will love you. But if you don't buy stuff, I won't hate you. You don't need to apologize to me because you don't have the money to spare for something. That's okay. I don't usually have much money to spare at a con myself.
6. I will be suiting as Ziazan, my three-tailed rainbow kitsune. (Assuming I manage to get the head done tomorrow, which I should!) I'll try to post photos before I go so you can spot me when I'm in suit. Just please be aware, not just with me but with all suiters. You can't see worth beans in those things, and a lot of them are very fragile. Roughousing can seem like a lot of fun, but if you pounce a suiter without warning, they won't see you coming, and you could hurt them, or damage a suit worth several thousand dollars. You don't want to be killed by irate suiters, so make sure that it's okay before you touch somebody in a suit.
