My Personal Archive’s Low Bar: The Fanime 2012 Purge

I’ve been going through my five years of con archives, and I noticed something weird: I have a detailed folder for almost every single convention... except Fanime 2012.

I finally realized why. My rule was always to upload and organize the pictures on my PC the moment I got home. But for Fanime 2012? I remember skipping the upload and just erasing the memory card. That's it. No backup, no selection, just gone.

That single act tells you everything you need to know about the convention that year. It must have been such a miserable experience—a classic "Line Con" or just a logistical nightmare—that the photos weren't even worth the time it took to drag them into a folder. My organized past self decided that the best review was to delete the evidence.

It’s a great reminder: even if a con is huge, if the experience is bad, it doesn't leave a memory worth keeping.

Did any of you veterans go to Fanime 2012? I’d love to know what made it so bad that I wiped the slate clean!

even though i wore this to ALA2012 I have no photos of this costume from that con that i want to share, but this is a great opportunity to segue into #fanime2012 and skip right over aB of that year which was my Worst con ever. #towardtheterra is not a series i have any attachment to, and in fact never would have cosplayed this of my own volition but again fanime11 to fanime12 was a year of growth and learning, and this was still one of the first costumes I’d made (though i did buy the body suit). i’ve gotten rid of everything for this except the cloak which i am still so proud of, and the body suit which will soon be recycled for Songo from Inuyasha.
