I'm Random, and I make shiny things. Against my better judgment I'll be a part of the Artist Alley/Areas/whatever at Katsucon next weekend.

So! Who else will be there?

I know there's been quite a bit of wank and drama surrounding the AA of Katsucon this year--so if you're worried about the show or not going, let us know why as well!

So far, problems have included:
  • Allowed materials wank (See: 2D stock can only be 20% fanart; fanworks are completely banned in the crafter area; a hard and uncrossable line between crafters and 2D artists)
  • The banning of semi-professional artists and small craft businesses
  • Tax wank
  • Rude/unresponsive/contradictory con staff
  • Breach of contract (changing table sizes, locations, and hours after the tables had been paid for)


    Personally, I worry . . . but my only other show for this month just got snowed out, and I've gotta pay bills somehow.
