I've never been to a furry con before, but do: bring your wallet/ID with you. I'm having trouble coming up with an explanation, but I know this is an important one.
@beanbinary6 жыл бұрын
Howl the wolfdog Agreed. And to give a "don't" side to this subject, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR WALLET/ ID UNATTENDED! This goes for any personal item; always keep your valuables and personal information on you and hidden at all times! (The "hidden" part is especially important if your con is in a big city). Another thing I've found helpful is you shouldn't bring all of your money with you at once. Take a portion of it with you to the con so that A. If it gets stolen, you have extra at home B. You don't spend all of your money!

Situation; Fursuiter wants to head to headless lounge to cool themselves and rest, or overheating. Along the way, people stops fursuiter and ask for a photo. Fursuiter giving a clear "I need to cool myself down / I'm overheating" signal, but some people ignored that. When fursuiters give such signal because they're on the edge of collapse and need to rush to headless lounge, please respect that. You can take photos with them at some other time. :) This situation taken from Omnom's stream of his and Splat's experience at Texas Furry Fiesta 2018.

I have severe anxiety about stuff that you mentioned, and I do own a full suit. And let me tell you, it's the most terrifying thing in the world. So PLEASE ask for consent before you hug or directly interact with a suiter. There has been multiple times where I received a full blown anxiety attack and I had to leave an sit in the headless lounge for an hour or more. I am also very short for my age, and i am full grown. That also contributes . I'm a 5'2 male for those who are wondering. So please, ask for consent. Hugs, contact, photos, whatever. I'd be glad to hug you. Just ask and make sure I can see you. Thanks^^

Personally, I feel if you went as a group and plan to do something at a specific time, such as go out to eat, do not be the person who everyone has to wait on. It's okay if you change your mind so long as you communicate it, but the worst is when your group has to wait and put off their activity while waiting on the person not paying attention to time. Had a guy not pick up his phone for 40 minutes as we were trying to find out where he was so we could all get dinner together.

If you are suiting please make sure you have a handler even at a con. You may not be popufur but people will still swarm you for photos while you're in suit. It's also nice to have a handler at a con if you have extreme anxiety like I do. They're some one you can grab on to and let them lead you to a safe place when it gets to be too much. They're also usually in charge of the backpack filled with water, snacks, your wallet, your brush, and phone. So please please please take a handler with you if you're suiting it's honestly for your saftey.

To that random suiter, I cannot express how sorry I am that I did that.

Guys, please don't touch fursuit props/cosplay props, literally any plush or thing. I have a little hamster toy because my hamster died while she was my best friend, and if someone would steal it/take it away, I'd really get anxious and depressed. Props can not be just props, but also really important items too. For example if someone would decorate an item essential for them to live, so it matches their cosplay ( for example an asthma inhaler) you may think it's just a prop, but it isn't! It's really important for them, because they may even die when they get an attack. So again, please PLEASE do not touch someone's "props". Thanks

one thing you did not mention.. about smoking.. DON`T Smoke just outside the entrence.. this is a big reason.. if you dont walk enough away from the entrance because 2 reasons.. reasons 1.. the fursuiters will come outside and explore.. when at MFF or Nordicfuzzcon. they go outside to cool down. if you stand there smoking cigarettes. walk a bit away because smoke stick to the suit.. if you are at Eurofurence. go to Biergarten. have a drink and smoke.. or just go to a local bar and smoke. reason 2.. when you smoke to close to the entrance. it wil be your fault if the smoke gets inside the hotel and setting of the fire alarms.. normally if you smoke inside a hotel you get a big fine. this may vary from hotel to hotel. at eurofurence 2A hostel. you set off the fire alarms you would get a 700 euro fine. and for gudness sake dont leave your cigarette butts in the stairwell of the hotel. they wont be happy. just like that time Kage found cigarette butts in the stairs of the westin. you can smoke if you want. however. just walk a bit away from the main entrance so it doesnt bother too many people

I was at my first con a while back and people there were actually really nice and mostly respectful. Except for this one dutchie that actually legitimately made me so uncomfortable I went behind my freind, not even cute playing around "oh I'm shy and trying to be cute" no I legitimately was like " this person is scaring me please protect me." Basically, Me and my freinds were just walking around the con and the fursuiter kind of stopped looked at me, came at me with the whole "curious" act and when I backed up they kept following me and squeaking at me. My freind was like " oh do you want a picture?" But at this point I was literally behind her back looking at her with pleading eyes like "no please get this person away from me" I guess my other freind saw this and kind of drew the dudes attention away from me and was like " yeah I want a picture". After my freind who got his picture taken with the dutchie was like "the guy was telling me to hug him" and it kind of weirded him out and we all just got a really sour experience from it. Sorry for the long rambling but I guess what I'm trying to say is be respectful and mindful of people wanting to hug you/you hugging people/interacting with people whether you're the person in the suit or out of it.

Hey, I've a question about the "don't go at -18 convention if you're -18" part ! There's a convention in France, the Furry black light, it's forbidden to -18 to go unless they have an authorization from their parents. I'm 16, and if I get an authorization from my parents do you think it's okay if I go there, or should I wait until I have 18 ? If I go I'll be with my cousin and 2 other friends, so I'll not be alone, but they'll all have +18 and many of the furries in this con are +18, so will I feel kinda alone ? ^^'

If the con says you can with parent consent, then of course that's fine! Im more talking about disregarding the rules

Having been involved in running a con I have to say the respect the hotel and guests one is really important. Nothing sours relationships faster than having other guests complain about the con-goers. On the flip side respecting non furries and, where they are interested, interacting with them is great! That family with the children should, unexpectedly, be having their best holiday ever. Fursuiter rooms are a particular problem for housekeeping. Even if it isn't the convention in the country you are in leaving a tip for the housekeeper really helps. Hotel Liason is an absolutely key part of convention organisation. They are often quite different from regular conventions and it helps to explain what to expect and work with the hotel to keep things running smoothly - it's a partnership. Little things from we will need all the towels - seriously, all of them, and given the chance furries will drink your bar dry - this is what they spent last year, and we have 15% more this time, so don't get caught short because everyone loses out if that happens. You know you are doing it right if by the end of the con some of the staff are wearing ears and tails! Oh yes, and on one occasion, commissioning a fursuit!

I just saw the cat in the background and it looks kinda like mine but I think mine is fluffier wOw
I have seriouse anxiety, and one of my fears is having someone run up and grab/hug me from behind. And i hate tail pulling! Its unnecessary

I commonly cosplay and understand the need to ask before photos. I also wore my *first-ever* tail I made to school yesterday for dress like an animal day. It was made out of like a pink fabric that is lightweight and hotglue, It was stuffed with polyfill. So, I get about 2 hours into the day before a classmate comes up and tugs on my tail. At this point in the day, was also when the insults started rolling in, one of them that bothered me the most was "Why do you have poop leaking out of your butt?" KEEP IN MIND, I'm in late elementary school. IT WAS A PINK LIZARD TAIL. So, another hour or so passes, and at lunch... All literal heck breaks loose. Some of the boys who insulted the tail sat with us at the table. One of them comes over and pulls on the tail before knocking it into the chair I was sitting in. This tail is NOT very floppy at all. I take it off to assess the damage. There are two small holes on the same seam of hotglue. I try to fix it and the hole gets bigger. Long story short, DON'T TOUCH MY TAIL UNLESS I GIVE YOU PERMISSION. Edit: I told the teacher and she said the boys were making fun of the tail because they were jealous because it was creative and original. I also tried telling the boys this was my FIRST EVER TAIL but they said it didn't matter.

don t: Dont harass people. i have heard of horror stories that almost chased me out of the fandom until i came of age. i am a young fur, i have been a furry for 4 years. when i was relatively new, i heard of children at their first furcons and some furry has come up and grabbed them or acted sexual. yes, there IS a sexual side to the fandom but there is a HUGE age difference in the fandom, so please be careful. if your young, go with an adult and please REPORT PEOPLE. if the security cannot find them or this person finds you OUTSIDE the con and they are still harassing you, i find it reassuring (and maybe even helpful if this happens to you!)to carry pepper spay in an easy-to-access place like your pocket or fursuit bag or something.

Con crud is NEVER fun >w< been there, done that. Spraying a little 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a suit is a good way to kill germs if you need a quick fix! Of course ASK your suitmaker first before doing this!
