RMFC 2011 Report!

I promised a more detailed report of this weekends local convention on my twitter, so here we go!

Zoo!This year the trip to the Denver Zoo was planned BEFORE the con, which I'm really glad for. I ended up not having a lot of time at the convention, so this allowed me to get some social time in. I went with lauragarabedian (who stayed with me for

Sounds like you had fun :) Yay!

I hear you on the name change thing :S ....I came up with "melo" when I was an angsty teen and just dont identify with that name anymore. At least theyre considering it for FA. I poked Dragoneer about it a few times. DA? No idea ;.;

Yeah, 'Shadow Wolf' was my angsty teenager name, and when I made 'Wolf Nymph' I had NO IDEA the sexual connotations of the word 'Nymph'. XD

I don't think I'll hold out for name change options, I'll likely just migrate on over when I feel it's appropriate.

[sekhmet]

yeah, id have done it awhile ago too. I just worry about losing buisness/watchers if people dont get the gallery change memo :C ...FA exposure basily helps pay the bills X3

I would vote for keeping the large magnets, if nothing else perhaps as a pre-order-before-a-con-only thing or a once-a-year-offering thing? That's one thing I do want to buy more of from time to time. Otherwise, yeah, the main merch I've ever bought from you has been charms when I haven't been getting commissions. =^.^=

The name change/consolidation makes a lot of sense also, good luck with that. I do wish FA and/or DA properly supported name changes/migrations, it's annoying that Twitter and LiveJournal codebases have the best interface for name-changes! >.<

As for the rest, I may snag a couple guinea-pig slots as they come up for friends I'll be rooming at cons with, if that's okay? If not, I'll get some for myself if nothing else, but was unsure if you'd like more variety instead for experimental test-run stuff or stick to characters you've draw a few times already?

I am leaning towards keeping the larger magnets myself, but at the same time they are a HUGE pain to make, haha! XD Perhaps I can find a manufacturer again, or just keep the numbers down.

I like the idea of doing pre-con orders, or perhaps holiday orders as well. Just certain limited times to make them so that it's not so hard on me.

And of course you can snag some guinea-pig badge slots! I'm all about drawing ANY character that comes my way, new or previously drawn. ^^

I'd so grab a guineapig badge slot from you. :)
