Bronycon, (Broh-nee-kon), Noun: A Collection of Horse Writers · 3:26am Jul 12th, 2016
Bronycon was fantastic! I got to meet a ton of interesting people, including Corejo, Pen Stroke, and Somber. I got to reconnect with Pascoite, Pav Feira and WandererD. I got to play a ton of Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder with the other writers. And, I fanboyed out over Skywriter, because his Cadence is best Cadence. The panels I did were all a great success, and by popular request, I'll be posting the practical advice on character design from the Original Characters panel here on my blog.
But, that'll take time to write up, and it's late. So for now, I shall just say this: Fellow bronies! BEHOLD MY SWAG!
Princess Luna, watching over her little ponies. Wall scroll and woodcuts.
The absolute prize of the lot. A signed woodcut by Baron Engel. It's brilliant.
A print from the brilliant WhiteDiamonds of Rarijack Daily. Who I may have also fanboy'ed out over.
Applebloom is adorable. Also, this is seriously the only plushie you could get at the con for under $100.
Ohh, I love that first picture!
Are you forgetting about the awesome Derpy I got for only $50?

I looked for that! I couldn't find it. I suspect you got the last one.

Luna is best princess.
Plushies are horribly expensive, though the Hasbro ones were $25 IIRC.
But yeah, a lot of them were $80+.
White Diamonds is wonderful. I loved meeting her.
Glad you got a print from her. I need to figure out where I'm going to put mine.
Does this mean we'll get a RariJack fic from you?
Thrilled to see you had a wonderful time!
Nice. :)
Who'd you get the wall scroll from and for how much? Cause it's awesome.
It was nice chatting, however briefly, about things and stuff and Girls Night Out or whatever!
It was awesome to meet you and getting to discuss stories (the Patriarchy!
) as well as playing some games.
I hope to see you there next year!
Btw, nice swag.
Everyone be like, "Look at all the cool stuff I got at Bronycon!" Well, whatevs! I don't need no horsecon.
:(
You honor me with your feedback. It was great messin' around with you, and I'm so glad we glommed at the same table at the writer's dinner!
Baron Engel is just basically the best, isn't he?
I failed to actually talk to you at all this year, but I did enjoy the panels you were on that I attended.
The OC panel was particularly great on account of the presentation, that worked well.
I had no idea he did this. :O That's amazing!
That woodcut looks amazing

Wait, weren't you there? I remember lamenting my inability to go because you were going to be there.
I got one of the mini Luna wood cuts too!
I am hurt! No mention! (No, don't worry about it, seriously, it's a joke, breathe.)
I also picked up one of those woodcuts - it should be noted that the original picture is by Baron Engel but the woodcut itself was done by the vendor whose name I completely failed to remember, using laser. Same person who did the mini-woodcuts in the first picture. Apparently the woodcutter's father assists with the handling of the wood and the final cut.
4085998 Organize the Grand Gardez Gala. I don't think Southwest Asia has any pony cons.
(Also I never realized Afghanistan shares a border with China!)
4085765
Yes! She's great.
And... well. I do have a Rarity fic coming up. This Title, Etched in Platinum. It's not a romance fic, but a background gag or two couldn't hurt.
4085887
I don't remember! There were a lot of wall scroll vendors. But, it was $30, and yeah, I love it. :D

It was great to meet you both, play cool games, and discuss fics. And yet, I have so much stuff to write now. It's fantastic!
4085998
You were the guest in absence. Three people asked me if you were around because they were looking for you.
4086064
YES! He is! His work is just amazing. I'm really glad I was able to snag one of his pieces.

4086082
I didn't know he signed things either! The vendor who sold it to me dragged me over to him and we got to chat. It was great fun.

Earth Pony Productions.
Next year, hon~
4085998
You were our designated survivor, in case something happened at the con.
I noted at the Artist's Dinner that if that restaurant collapsed FIMFiction would lose like half the people with 1k+ followers.

Well, a Rarity story is okay too.

Bummer
4085756 When I bought it on Saturday, he had only two out on the table. When I went by on Sunday at about 2:30, he had a table full of them. You should have asked me to show you which guy! Maybe he just didn't have any on display when you went by, but he did still have some.
