Oh god Bronycon was awesome. · 7:35pm Jul 10th, 2016
This was the first Bronycon I've been to since 2012, and I had an absolutely amazing time you guys. I spent most of my time hanging out with a few online friends (not from Fimfic) and was happy to meet a whole bunch of awesome people from here, including (but not limited to) The Abyss, Skeeter the Lurker, Titanium Dragon, xjuggernaughtx, Seether00, maskedferret, wayward_pony, Brasta Septim, and I'm sure there are others but my brain is fried right now. It was a pleasure meeting everyone! I'm not the most social person in the world, so I could have probably been a bit more visible, but I was very happy to meet people and put names to faces.
I only went to a few panels, almost all writing related, but they were all very interesting. The romance panel might have been my favorite (big shocker, looking at what I usually write), but they were all super-interesting and informative.
Oh, and I spent way too much money. I'm coming home with Sweetie Belle, Fluffle Puff, and Tender Taps plushes, and also put in a commission for a Saffron Masala (AKA new Best Pony Behind Applejack) which is going to be a pretty penny. But I don't regret a single cent of it
So because I am a silly person, my main goal was to have at least one person recognize me by my nametag. That definitely happened with other writers, but there was one that caught me by surprise and absolutely made my day.
So I'm walking around the market and see Whitediamonds' table. For those who don't know her, she is an amazing artist who ran the Rarijack Daily Tumblr. So I decide to go and buy a print for a friend of mine (I wasn't spending any more money on myself since I spent so much, but would have done so otherwise because I love her art). So I walk up and say hello. She says hello, then looks at my nametag and says that she recognizes my name! It turns out she has read some of my stuff! I apologize for fanboying, but just the fact that someone whose art I love so much likes my stuff just tickled me so much. It totally made my day. And now I think I need to write a Rarijack
I'm currently waiting on my train home, and I already miss it. This was such a great con, and I'm looking forward to hopefully going again next year and having just as great a time :D
Oh also I worked on the new chapter of Hood Rat while here. It's nearly done, and I estimate it might be up tomorrow or even later tonight.
Also, I apparently can't edit posts on my phone, but I'll post pictures of all my pickups when I get home. And I also forgot to say that I met Braeburned, who was super-awesome!
Amazing! Sounds like you had a great time
>fangirling from WhiteDiamonds
super jelly
It was fun meeting you. Sounds like you had a great time
Sure was fun meeting you, bud! Too bad we couldn't get some drinks though... next year, perhaps?
Btw, sometime tomorrow I'm putting up a blog about my Bronycon experience, complete with a shit ton of pictures.
