My question is, midnight in what time zone?

Blast, I wanted to go to bed early tonight, forgot about that for a bit there... sweatdrop

[Seijaku_Ishida]

I figure Eastern since Ohayocon is in Columbus. :3

[Vicemage]

I'm hoping... ^^;; I really want to get this in, but I also have to be out of bed by 6 my time tomorrow for work.

[Seijaku_Ishida]

I have to be up by 5:30 XD;

[Vicemage]

OUch, good luck with that.

[Seijaku_Ishida]

Ahaha, I can do it. I'll just pass out during my lunch break to catch up on sleep.

Some conventions don't allow that though...

You should NOT just print stuff out for guests to sign; stick to official, licensed merchandise, blank autograph/sketchbooks, or your convention program book. Some of them will even have glossy photos for sale.

But don't bring printouts or anything that's not official merchandise. Otherwise you're basically saying "I like what you do, but not enough to contribute toward you making a living". Guests will always sign the official program guide.

- Alabaster on the Otakon forums. I kind of agree...

Ah, that is a good point... didn't think of that. ^^;;

Well I checked San-Japan's website, and it didn't say anything against it.....I thought of it because last year while I was in line for autographs this girl behind me kept asking me for paper...

But I was thinking it would have a character on it with just a space for the signature.....
Eeh, I might not even get around to it...if I have time after finishing the buttons and my prints...than MAYBE.... stare

[Vicemage]

Man, wish I could do that... I've got a half-day tomorrow, but when I nap I screw up my sleep schedule. ^^;;

Lots of time tomorrow afternoon though for comic work!

[Seijaku_Ishida]

I need to work on my v-day cards. Sucks, though, because one of the websites I get stuff from is having a sale on cards that ends a day before I get paid.

[Vicemage]

Oh, I hate when that happens...

Okay, it's after midnight there. Fingers crossed it's acceptable to send it, I'm going to preface it with a comment to that end...

[LavenderMintRose]

I sent mine in seventeen minutes after midnight. Should I be worried?

It seems like it would be a better freebie than anything else. It seems kind of skeevy to profit specifically off of a GoH.

@ DarkKlaw: (Sorry if I misspelled your name sweatdrop ) For holding money, I wore an apron that I actually made myself. It had a big hoodie-like pocket in the front, so it was easy for me to get into, but hard for anyone else to. I could also do things like attach buttons to it, clip my badge to it, and hold my wallet and other stuff in the big pocket. It was really nice.

Also, a question: Does Paper Forest print fanart stickers?

Another question: Does Ohayocon not accept fanart? Or do they just not accept much fanart?
