SizeCon Wrap-Up!
So, bit late to the party, but I had too much of a good time to not comment! @sizecon 2017 was fantastic! This was my first year, and I was shy and nervous about going- hence me wearing an orange ski mask the whole con- but it was a wonderful time, and I'm excited to tell you all about it! The People- It was really amazing to be able to meet so many great fans and creators at the con, to just be able to have a conversation with them without needing the benefit of internet connections or phone cameras. People like BustArtis and their lovely wife, Valeyard Vince, Mac Rome, J Yubari, and the rest of the Interweb Comics group were just a treat to get to hang around with. Everyone was very friendly and open, but there was still some awkwardness even amongst such like-minded individuals. I must have heard the phrase "I can't believe I'm saying this out loud..." at least a half-dozen times. The Panels- For only having a day and a half, Sizecon was chock full of interesting content! The "Women's Panel" was full of amazing and sobering stories about being a female aficionado in the size/expansion community. Of special note is :iconchibiana26:'s tale- That's her in the busty Mei cosplay up there- of finding love and support that was simultaneously heart-rending and -warming. The "Furry and Size" panel had great representation, including @askmssuki and a guy in a full fursuit. Relationships with size fetishists, Size in Pop Culture, Vore, and even the writing panel I was a part of, they all were just great. Special thanks goes out to Gomai-Ronin, who did a fantastic job of moderating most of the panels on both days. Really great work, Gomai! The Show Floor- As far as second-year conventions go, it really was not a bad crowd. There were writers, artists, videographers, knick-knacks for sale, and other fun stuff. Shoutout to @jitenshasw 's pixie cosplay, along with Chibiana's aforementioned "Busty Mei" cosplay. The model in the Juggalos outfit is Tara Tied, hired by Maxgrowth Productions, who had an awesome booth with a bunch of his props set up for demonstrtion, inflating and deflating his prosthetic boobs ,butts, and even a berrygirl sphere! It was really cool just to look through all the art and prints on display- and I had a nice collection of art from SpiralingStaircase for sale myself, thanks to everyone who bought one! The Conclusion- Sizecon was amazing. Massive thanks (tee hee) to the organizers and all the volunteers, the prop-builders and photographers, and everyone who made SizeCon such a rousing success. Anyone who was on the fence about going, it's absolutely worth it, and if you were worried about privacy, I wore that ski mask the entire con without any trouble from anyone at the con, they were all super understanding.
