Kamen:
same thing like shaevairc. but it was fun to see how freaky some of you guys are. we have friends that are freaks too, but not like that. and I hope we will see you next year again! we are no real "furries" but we like it to be with them ;)

Cookie:
My first furcon was EF11.
It was also my first contact with the furry world, and also the first time i wore a fursuit (ZigZag).

A lot of "first times", really:)

But it all went smoothly.
I already knew one furry guy (Aoikitsune), so he introduced me to his friends and.. there ya go, in less time than it takes to prononce "anthropomorphic", i was at ease...

I was so pleased with the general mood and kindness of people thare that i was back this year.. and that i intend to be next year too:)

Don't worry, it'll all come out fine :)

Tallyhawk:
My first Eurofurence was last year (EF11).  I had been to other fur cons so I had some idea of what to expect.  It helped that I dragged a friend of mine along so I wasn't traveling alone.  (Yea for frequent flyer files!).  When I got there, I found everyone to be very friendly and fun.  This year, I found myself adopted by a group of UK furs and that was fun.  I need to start training for next year, though, because those guys can drink!   ;D

Tungro:
EF12 was my first con. It certainly was an experience! I did not really find anything negative at all - I loved the fact that there wasn't just one thread of programming. If you didn't want to go to the "main" event, there were at least two other things you could do (during the day anyway). If you wanted to lounge around in your room all day, there wasn't anything stopping you! What I had expected was a swarm of furs moving from one big event to the next big event, en masse! I'm glad it wasn't like that at all!

About people's reactions: Everyone recognises everyone else is a fur there too. Although I am not omnipresent I don't think I found any active hostility between anyone. But in general, people stick to their groups of friends, but if you're at a SIG for instance, people present at the SIG tend to get on well with one another. Although my German was rather poor, I had a good time in the Ramen Lounge, listening more than chatting to various German-speaking furs!

I must say what helped me a lot was that I knew some furs before I even arrived. In fact, a large number of furs went from the UK so although we were still outnumbered by about ten to one, it's still comforting to know that there'll be someone around anyway that you know.

Shadow-Woofie:
Well EF13 Will prolly be the first con i go to! Ive never been to a Fur con Before, and, ive not met any furs in RL, (But thats changing this weekend ^.-) I'm gonna be nervous as hell ^^; Wich, means i'll prolly be extra exited aswell so ^^ Win Win!
