    Catching up with courtesy notes

    Since I post my Ponyfic Roundup reviews on my Louder Yay blog rather than on Fimfiction itself, I like to alert each affected author to the fact by making a comment on their story page. I call this a courtesy note. For various reasons I have fallen well behind with these recently, a failing for which I apologise. I am now making a determined effort to catch up, but it will take a little

    Logan's hopes for 2025

    Calling them "resolutions" is just asking for trouble, so I won't say that. Except that I just used the word. Damn. Anyway:

    Unsubbed from Struggling Authors

    I'm a little bit sad about it, since I've been a member of that group since the days when it was really active. But it's one of the worst now for bot posts, both in number and in their going entirely unchallenged, and I'm afraid I've had enough. :/

UK PonyCon report, part seven: The merch haul · 5:06pm Dec 20th, 2024


Click to expand to a larger version with numbers you don't have to squint at!

Over two months after UK PonyCon 2024 closed its doors, I am finally rounding off my con report! You already know that I thought the convention was a very good one, with a few little irritations vastly outweighed by all the good stuff. And here is some of that good stuff! I didn't have the funds to buy a lot this year, but here's what I did acquire. This photo was taken in my hotel room (on the bed, as there wasn't room anywhere else!) hence the poor lighting and foreshortened appearance. The orange numbers correspond to the explanations below:

1 – Sundance G1 brushable. Normal size, not as tiny as she looks in the photo!
2 – UK PonyCon 2024 T-shirt, size XL.
3 – Con book. Particularly nicely produced this year.
4 – Small original Celestia canvas by Carousel Wishes.
5 – Saturday night concert guide leaflet.
6a to 6d¹ – A4 prints by JowyB. (The Fluttershy one was a gift from a friend.)
7 – Bronze Sponsor lanyard and con badge.
8 – Bronze Sponsor button badge.
9 – Scootatrix "Got Meegan" badge and business card.
10 – "He/him" and "Want a hug? Ask" free stickers.
11 – Cute sticker from the freebies table.
12 – Business card for KNAB.
13 –"Gen1us" ribbon, only available to attendees of the Scootertrix panel.
14 – Celestia marker pen drawing by Sparkler.
15 – Sponsor bonus sticker sheet.
16 – UKPC 20th anniversary mug.
¹ 6d was erroneously labelled 8d. Go me.

Next time... well, there won't be a next time! Not until and unless I attend next year, anyway...

I love that you say you didn't have a lot of spend and yet have such a great outlay! So many lovely items. n_n

Well, quite a few things were freebies, or were included in my Bronze Sponsor ticket, so in terms of actual merch buying there wasn't a lot. The T-shirt (£20) was the most expensive single item here.

5822105 Hahaha fair! Glad you got such good stuff, whether from the merch hall, or from your ticket. n_n

The Sundance G1 brushable is the cream of the swag haul! So, how come Sundance and not someponyelse, like Posey (assuming you don't already have her)?

I've had a G1 Posey for many years already! :yay: I think I got her from an older UKPC, but I can't remember offhoof.

Why Sundance? Because she's so associated with Megan (in the show, and as part of a playset) and so it amused me given the Scootatrix G1 panel this time. :twilightblush:

A most excellent reason to acquire Sundance this time around. ^_^
