Deep in ConFurEnce
Apr. 26th, 2003 11:50 pmWell, I traveled down to the last ConFurence only to be happy that this is probably the last one I shall ever attend.
I gave a lot of furrydom a hearty "goodbye" at WorldCon. I was told at the Furry sig, point blank, that I wasn't "a furry" because my avatar characters are mostly human, that any amount of good I might have done interesting others in furry was long cancelled out by the harm of my writing erotica when "Furry's not about that!" (Yeah, right), and that my writing, such as it is, rarely contains "furry" themes (whatever those might be). Whatever. If I'm not wanted, well, there are other places to go. As I observed, both the Romance and the Erotica sigs accepted that "Elf Sternberg" was one of theirs, a talented amateur. I glowed hearing that.
But Omaha's still part of the Furry experience, having put on the Cabaret several times, and since this is the last ConFurence to be held for a long, long time she decided to do the cabaret one last time. She flew out ahead of myself and Kouryou-chan and
fallenpegasus, who attended for reasons I cannot fathom.
( In which I burn some bridges... )
