But I really enjoyed the international flair the location gave Archipelacon.<br /><br />I've been hearing good things about Finncon, I'll definitely consider it, especially since it's free! :DAuriRaitsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340600755979471081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889977834415455248.post-57524250231283597202015-07-20T23:17:49.956+03:002015-07-20T23:17:49.956+03:00At least in theory Archipelacon was an one-off eve...At least in theory Archipelacon was an one-off event but there has been talk that in certain conditions it's not totally outside the realm of possibilities that there might be another. So we'll see...<br /><br />It really nice to hear you enjoyed the programme and I would suggest that you should also try come to next year's Finncon in Tampere. The programme in Finncon will probably be very similar with multiple programme items related to LGBT-themes and diversity. <br /><br />As Cheryl for example is a regular at Finncon and had previously done the LGBT superheroes presentation there. Suzanne also has done programme in previous Finncon's and said she would try to attend Tampere one too. <br /><br />Finncon is free and totally not at all scary! http://2016.finncon.org/<br /><br />- Mikko (head of programme in Archipelacon, part of the programme team in Finncon 2016)Grandpa Cthulhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587762746149428096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889977834415455248.post-62257900367164974862015-07-19T16:04:04.450+03:002015-07-19T16:04:04.450+03:00Thanks!

I&...Thanks! Yeah, I'm happy I took part in it.<br /><br />I'm happy too that there were so many LGBT programmes. I can see how the con wouldn't be for everyone as I too felt kind off out of place on occasion. I guess a lot of people now went mainly for George R.R.

Yea...Yeah, I'm happy I went in too. Thanks~ :)<br /><br />Yeah, I really didn't know that either before we went to the first one and the panelists all kind of advertised their other programmes. They were all really interesting.<br /><br />Yeah, it was an interesting difference. I guess I kind of fall between the two con-goer categories. Well, more fun con experiences for me. :D<br /><br />Hehe, thanks. :) First I should just get to doing stuff to sell there, I guess.AuriRaitsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340600755979471081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889977834415455248.post-46479937240711143042015-07-06T19:46:28.459+03:002015-07-06T19:46:28.459+03:00Sorry my keyboard is derping... ._.

I m...Nice to hear what it was like at Archipelacon! I must say that I'm really happy that you went to compete in the cosplay competition and it's so awesome that you placed on it, OMG YES! I mean, your Bilbo sure is really nicely done and it's easy to tell that you put a lot of attention onto the costume to make even the smaller details accurate! I remember when you told me that you even made the buttons. :'D Hooray! I'm just so happy for you!<br /><br />Also I had no idea that there were so many LGB-themed panels in there, that's cool!<br />It's really interesting to hear how the con differed from the usual anime conventions with all the sugar-and-pocky hyped kids running around; it sounds refreshing in a way. :)<br />Maybe someday I'll tag along to Archipelacon as well, if they will keep holding it the following years...<br /><br />Psst, that last pic is just so adorable. xD<br />Oh, and you should really make an Etsy store! It would be awesome!

Your cosplays were lovely too. :)<br /><br />I guess I compared the con to anime conventions I'm most used to and those have more people, more cosplayers and a lot of underaged people.AuriRaitsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340600755979471081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889977834415455248.post-1674090038440423992015-07-03T11:27:25.073+03:002015-07-03T11:27:25.073+03:00...Hulda, my daughter, was Dean....Hulda, my daughter, was Dean.Thettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362680632547950799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889977834415455248.post-1254759815908325812015-07-03T11:26:41.035+03:002015-07-03T11:26:41.035+03:00Very interesting to read about your experience!
