Well, I must admit that as a con-virgin going to AC '01, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But saying that I had the best time of my life is not an exaggeration in the least. Met a lot of furs, both that I have chatted with before and that I hope to start chatting with now. Anyway, one of the sigs at the con was a writing contest. The way it worked is that the moderator (Jeff Novotny, very nice guy) gave us all a theme (Hope and Fear) and we had two hours to come up with whatever we could. Then he took the submissions back to his room, spent all night trying to descipher our handwriting into meaninful characters and words...and picked the winners. I managed to score a runner's up position. Ever since I wrote it that night, I knew it didn't hold as much as I wanted it to, but I was under time constraints. So I eventually got my lazy tail around to extending into the full version about 10 months later...which I may add to again at a later date. I don't know. That's how my writing goes sometimes. I'm actually really proud of this story. Every time I read it, I have to choke back a tear.
