More on how the logic of trying to accommodate those who have work/school/whatever and dont get there till later doesnt work:
If you were to truly accommodate them, then you wouldnt wait till they got off work to start. Youd start at four, like usual, and keep going until 9-10 PM, thereby giving them more time to acquire their badge. What is being done is the opposite of accommodation, its infact making the line they have to wait in 2-3 times longer. And at first waiting in line is fun, until you realize that youre waiting in line and that youve been waiting for hours and that youre tired, hungry, thirsty and need to check into a room that you cant check into because youve been waiting in line. And then the hotels will suddenly have a huge flood of people, all at the same time, making check-in time even longer of a wait. At least before it was more spread out.

7-10PM is the official statement however I believe with the move to the Fairmont and improved preparations, the Registration Pick Up process will have improved ten fold when compared to last year. I also believe this really will accommodate those who may not be available until the early evening due to other responsibilities like work, school, etc. Additionally, Ive never seen any staff turn away anyone who was already in line even after the cut off time. These guys work hard to get everyone in and out, I've heard it's tiring work!

I can understand your concerns but even the the wait in line can be fun! You get to meet new people, catch up with a buddy and sometimes game network if you have the same game and portable console as another!

Well, something else that REALLY pisses me off is that Im hosting a meetup for day 0. Its officially on the thing. And because I figured we'd start reg at our normal time, that 7 PM would be a good placeholder for the gathering. But here I am, disappointed yet again with this convention and its horrid planning. And I 100% cant have the gathering earlier, because we need to secure places in like. and 8 would be too soon after reg opens, and 9 would be too late. Seriously, did they actually think this through? 3-4PM is a prime time to start. If you wait till people get home from work, the lines will be even more massive. Every year they start around 3-4 and even after constantly getting people in and out, more and more people show up ESPECIALLY around those times. Meaning that they have even more people to deal with at once. The logic of "we will wait till people get off work to start" doesnt work, because people will keep showing up super early like every year and itll get even more swamped in around 7pm, like every year, but with the added bonus of people who came and waited earlier.

Is badge pickup REALLY starting at 7 this year and only going till 10 PM?
Every year it takes far more than 3 hours and we normally start around 3-4 PM, if things are running on time.
Someone please tell me that 7PM is a joke? A typo? Because in order to get a proper space in like you practically have to get there 9 AM-1 PM. 7+ hours in line just to wait to wait to pick up your badge is kind of... intense?
Someone tell me they typoed?

Hey everyone! Don't mean to hijack or hitch onto your gathering, but how adverse would you guys be to adding Merlin? The fandom's too small on its own and since it's over now I was hoping of doing a cosplay from the show this year. Will our big BBC (and CW) brothers object? If it's a problem I might just stick around to take photos anyway, no harm no foul. (:

Okay, I will add you uvu
Which character?

Ello, everyone! So, for this years Fanime, I thought itd be pretty great if any Homestucks who were at Fanime's Day 0/Thursday badge pickup day could meet up, eat dinner and just participate in general tom-foolery! And after we eat, we could head back to the convention center and do a drawingstuck thing uvu (this will not be part of the official gathering, this will be for whoever is free afterwards for general hanging out)
Until then, we could discuss places to eat~
WE WILL BE EATING AT PEGGY SUE'S. BUT WE WILL STILL MEET AT THE SNAKE STATUE. (we chose peggy sue's because its open much, much later than Johnny Rockets)

Info:
Time: 8:30 PM (to allow for people to get out of reg line)
Day: Thursday
Meeting place: CCPFH = Park across from Fairmont Hotel (Caesar Chavez Plaza) (we will meet by the snake statue and go to the restaurant from there)

-Cosplay: Whatever you want! It's Day 0/the lazy day, you can be in full cosplay, casual cosplay, or no cosplay at all! The main point is to meet other Homestucks and junk before the con actually starts.
-I will probably be casual Rose Lalonde, so you can find me that way. uvu
-Bring money for food and junk ovo
-Bring drawing stuff!

Guests:
- Tsubasakissu and 9 others from her facebook event for this gathering
- Xaara

Hey there everyone, Jaidin here!

So, every panel I've done for homestuck people ask me if they can submit a Dancestor audition! I've always had to say "no" because with 8 kids and 12 trolls, we took up a lot of space! So I decided to take a different route for Fanime! And so, I bring you

Ask The Dancestors!


Thats right, a panel featuring the Dancestors! Hosted by Kankri (me) and Meenah! So here's who we have: (the panel will be MONDAY, 10AM-11AM sorry 'bout the day, but it was all they had left!)

Kankri

Meenah

Meulin

Horuss

Latula

Mituna

Aranea

Who we need:

Cronus

Rufioh

Kurloz

Damara

Porrim

We probably will not include Dirk, Jane, Roxy, or Jake because theyve had little to no interaction with the trolls at this point.

This MIGHT change later. Maybe not

How to auditon:

Answer these questions;

1. Which character would you be interested in?
2. Could you please provide images/pictures of your character?
3. Which outfit would you be doing? (canon only!)
4. Would you please either provide a reaction video or RP post for these following questions or prompts? (Please answer 3-5 of these)
I. Someone in the audience, against their better judgement, asks you about buckets. How would you respond? (we dont like these questions, but they happen)
II. Your character comes face-to-face with The Huss. What would you do?
III. You have just suffered a mortal wound at the hands of a foe, friend, frienemy, or by a fault of your own. What happened? How would you respond as your character?
IV. What pet-peeve do you have for your character that is constantly played upon by fanart, RPers, Tumblr, or by the fandom in general? (Examples: People using "Fuckass" for Karkles or people making Eridan needy/clingy) (this doesnt have to be in-character)
V. Do you have an unpopular, original, or uncommon headcanon for your character? What is it? (this doesnt have to be in-character)
VI. Your best friend/moirail (if your character lacks one, then choose either a past moirail/best friend or one that you ship with your character, as moirails/best friends) is holding a large beast at bay, allowing you to escape. If one or both of you went against this beast it would mean certain death. What would your character do? Leave them? Trade places? Stay with them?
VII. Your least favourite character (must be a hero) has expressed their interest in your character, in a red sort of way. React.
VIII. Your character has discovered Tumblr and the Homestuck fandom. How would they react?
IX. New update. Homestuck was just a dream. React.
X. An audience member has asked for a "glomp". You are given no definition to its meaning, how would your character react?
5. What vlog, panel, ask blog, or other experience do you have? (Doesnt have to be Homestuck, just need to be sure youre quick on your feet!)
6. How far into Homestuck are you? (You dont need to be 100% up-to-date, but we ask that you be at least past act 5, since thats the "holy gog this is long" portion of Homestuck, which gives you a few months to be up-to-date~)
7. What could you suggest for the panel, activities-wise?



Either SUBMIT]http://cyanidecatnip.tumblr.com/submit]SUBMITme a text reply to your audition or a link to a youtube video! You can also FACEBOOK ME]https://www.facebook.com/TsubasaKISSU]FACEBOOK ME the info.

IF you do a text submission, you must include WIP (atleast 75% finished) or a finished cosplay picture. If you do a video audition, you may do it OUT OF COSPLAY or IN COSPLAY, but if you do it out of cosplay, please include pictures. (you may also PM me the auditon on fanime forums, but tumblr and FB are faster)
