After reading though a giant flame-y thread about SNAFU Con feedback and people saying it sucked, and people saying it didn’t and on and on. . . I want to make a few things known.

I also want to preface this with – I understand that this blog is primarily for staff and that most attendees won’t see this, but some will. Staff knowing my views on this can spread it to attendees best. Plus this serves as a “for the record . . . “

It’s a local con and MANY staff, volunteers, and attendees consider it “their” con – which I strongly encourage.
It really is your con. It’s all for fans, by fans. Volunteer fans. You.

But that possessiveness makes some of us a little overly defensive about the con. I get it. But . . . I do want to know what people think. If you hate the con or a piece of the con, let me know why. I may be able to do something about it, or I may not. I also may choose not to do something about it because it goes against the way I want things done.

You can’t please all of the people all of the time. I don’t expect everyone to love us, and I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. Just understand that like everyone, I’m doing my best and I truly care about the convention.

That being said, I care very deeply about what people think about the con. When I’m not neck deep in con things, I spend a lot of time worrying about what people think and OMG what if they hate it, and I’ll just cry and hide under a rock and . . . and then the work starts and I get too busy to even bother thinking about it any more.

And constructive criticism is always preferred over “You suck! (runs away)”
