TransformARTive (Bash) @ VF 🔜 FE, Capricon GOH

Nice chatting with you all at Vancouver this last weekend. Very surprised my Wrath of Con comic and Furry Fantasy Banners sold out at a small event.

If you didn't know, they both are currently nominated for the Ursa Major Award, which close for voting in 2 weeks.

I never knew I lived in the EU.

As Year of the Horse, they said your own year is your bad luck year and I guess it is so. Not only have I been bait and switched by AMEX's welcome bonus, ow not only did UPS miss the delivery deadline for the Expedited Shipping I pay for, I must pay for return fee to US plus Canadian taxes & duties.

Congrats to my friends and peers who were nominated. And thank you to those who helped nominate me this year. First time I am in 3 categories.

There are lots of great works this year, and video games for the first time, so get your votes in: ursamajorawards.org/voting2025/

Paid Pirate Ship/UPS to have a package delivered to Vancouver for VF by March 2, now March 9 and package still stuck in customs. Now I want this package returned, but CAN customs still wants me to pay taxes/duties, UPS wants me to pay a return fee. Should be paying me for delays.

The introduction of Allen Glasser and the formation of the Scienceers, the first science fiction fan club.

Editing The Time Traveller and running the Scienceers made Allen Glasser a notable fan, he would catch the attention of Hugo Gernsback and the two would arrange a lecture for the Scienceers with Wonder Stories editor David Lasser at the Museum of Natural History.

I feel the same sometime.

It would be a better series if Draco was stuck as a ferret wearing a little scarf but still did everything the same and acted the same, trying to bully people as a little ferret.

Antagonists from privileged upbringings with daddy issues (wearing green clothing) who even their creators didn't intend to be likeable yet unexpectedly got large sympathetic fanbases who think they are traumatized souls who can be reformed and fixed.

These early fans found different methods for printing their fanzines, with mimeograph as the most common method. However The Time Traveller was blessed when Brooklyn fan Conrad Ruppert offered to print the zine with his typesetting press, giving the fanzine a professional look and status.

The Fantasy Tapestry Banners (now Ursa Major Award nominated) have been popular this last year at cons. But people keep asking for more designs. So what new designs would you want to see in this series for this year?

Julius Schwartz, before becoming the editor for DC Comics, took inspirations from clubzines to make The Time Traveller - a fan magazine dedicated to reviews, fan news, fan written opinion pieces, fan fiction, fan written stories and art, creating the template that would inspire many fanzines.

I remember I did a list of Animated Features (not the weird studios or straight to home release or WWII shorts) and I think it was at least 70% but I will have to go through it again. I also count mindswap (Soul, Hoppers), human (Evil Queen, Little Mermaid), inanimate (Beauty and the Beast) as TF.

That's what I been thinking for a while, how much can I save up to hire a bunch of artist, animator, musician, and va friends to help work on all my project ideas I won't have time for alone.

Thanks everyone, I'm almost sold out of all my copies of the Wrath of Con at Vancoufur. I will have more printed for the next con.

This comic is also an Ursa Major Award Graphic Story nominee. If you like the work consider taking the time to vote before March 23.

I appreciate this con had a lunch break for dealers and food delivery to the table but oof this is the most expensive curry I ever got, and I just realized I think the hotel overcharged me for a can of soda.

I found a plane fursuit #FursuitFriday

I think people have already accepted that Walt Disney is accepted a furry but we also need to realize that the Disney company is basically just a TF story generator. Almost all their movies involve TF, especially human to animal.

I need to tf into a starter

I had an idea for a while for a comic or animate series with a dog superhero TF. Two friends share a wish, one wants a pet dog, and the other wants superpowers. So friend who gets superpowers only does so when he TFs into a dog. So he's a superhero dog, better way to hide his identity.

All set up and ready to vend at my first Vancoufur. Snark downsized set up with limited product as UPS (even though I paid extra for expedite shipping) and customs has delayed my package of shirts and flags. I'm at Table 5. Hope to see you all this weekend.
