Question about furcons and anonymity

Furry Reddit - Tue 2 Jul 2013 - 05:31

I have been toying with the idea of attending Further Confusion next January. However, I would like to attend semi-anonymously for a number of reasons, the main one being that having a reputation as a furry is not a good one to be stuck with. I have a few questions:

  • Does anyone know of any consequences related to attending a con?

  • Is it really obvious that you attended a con, like is there a huge list of names that is kept/published somewhere?

  • At the con, I know people can be touchy with photos, does that mean there are other people thinking like me there?

  • How are cons if you don't know any furs? Is it easy to meet good people?

Thanks in advance!

Hello.

After a few years of dipping my toes into the pool, I have finally come out as a furry. I told my sister and brother, who both supported me, and my mother who didn't. Oh well.

Are there any good resources to exploring this lifestyle? I found wikifur but it seems a bit overwhelming.

Product quantities for Anthrocon. Can anyone help?

Furry Reddit - Mon 1 Jul 2013 - 20:49

I hope I'm able to get some insight on this in time, as it's getting down to the wire and I have to get my prints sent out tomorrow morning.

I have an artist's table at Anthrocon this weekend, and along with doing on-the-spot commissions, I also wanted to take a small amount of prints, bookmarks and pin-ups to sell. I wasn't expecting to take a lot, as that's not really what the Alley is for. But after talking to a friend, I'm starting to think that my estimates for what I'll need are too low (for example, I was planning to bring maybe 20 of each pin-up, but he's telling me he would recommend something like 100). For the pin-ups, quantities wouldn't be a huge problem, as I'm doing them through self-serve retail printing, so if I run out I can always find a nearby Walmart or something and print out more, even though I'd rather have everything I need already. But the large prints I'm having professionally done and can only get so much in time.

I've never been to AC before (though I know attendance this year is looking around 6,000), so I don't really have any idea of what to expect in terms of sales for prints. I have no clue how many of each I should bring. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing and could offer some help or advice? I'd really appreciate it! =)

[EDIT] To break it down, I have 10 5x7 pin-ups (I know I'll need the most of those because stuff like that tends to sell big), 2 bookmarks, 2 4x4 mini-prints and 2 small posters.
