FWA Report + Commission Queue Update by Malachyte

FWA Report

This was my first time at FWA, and I didn't know that many furs going into it, so I was a little nervous. The convention was fantastic! I met more furs than I can count, I feel like. I finally met genwyn irl, and he was super nice and adorable. He quickly became my go to con buddy, for those times when no one else can be found and you're awkwardly alone. I can't stress enough how much I love having a friend like that at a con!

By courtesy of Genwyn, I was able to meet Jay Naylor in person! I was hoping to meet him at least once during the con, but I did not expect it at the time it happened. I was so shocked I didn't even return the handshake, just kind of let my hand hang limply while I tried not to do anything stupid, ha ha. Beyond my wildest expectations, I got to hang out with him many times during the convention and ask the hundred and one questions I've always had. I was also introduced to Bonk, who is absolutely hilarious. I could listen to him talk or tell jokes for hours. I am always very envious of people who can tell stories in such animated and exciting ways. Gunmouth was also in our area for a while, and I watched him sleep propped up on a cardboard tube. There was also a person named Matt, who was neat and I know not much about. He doesn't like fursuits.

Other amazing artists and furries I got to meet and chat with include:

enjoipandas, who is fucking adorable and I want to meet again.

Fluff-Kevlar, who is very sweet c:

Taurin Fox, who I sat next to in the artist alley and chatted with.

Goldfox, who commissioned me, and was understanding when I couldn't draw due to accidental hangover.

Stigmata, who is super dapper and does amazing art.

Dasha, who I meant to meet up with earlier in the con but totally blanked on. I am super sad I didn't spend more time with her!

There are so many more than this, aaahhh.

In short, the con was spent in artist alley and spending time with awesome artists. Also lots of DDR, because fuck yeah that game. I can't get enough <3

    Sounds like quite the time! I wish I had the ability to travel to cons and meet up with various artists and fellow fans. Sounds like Jay and Bonk are a lot more friendly to folks than I initially thought. :3

      Mm, it's really fun. And yeah, I keep hearing a lot of things about Naylor's "harsh personality", but he was nice and easy to talk to. He has his views and firmly sticks to them, but not in a way that I find jerk-ish. I don't know him super well, but I wonder if people just get too upset easily, sometimes :p

        Haha, probably. There's always something to blow your top over, even if it's unnecessary.
