Nicely done.  Is there a possibility for booths?  I would do a green screen booth.

The net cast simply wasn't big enough, this is an offbeat fetish with hundreds of fractures on the typical things you'd find within it. As such, people can be very particular about what they like about it. It's not like a show or something, where you can like a character, or hate a character;but you still like the rest of it. These are turn ons and offs. I get nothing from these renders of scene girl crushes a thing, or random thin giantess stands with other random thing giantess.

To get a bigger turn out, you would need to introduce as many facets of the fetish as you possibly can and with such a small window to work with, you set yourself up to fail from the start. I think the idea of a SizeCon could work as a whole. It would just need far more planning and preparation; not to mention a smaller, more central venue.

That said, the representation for people diminished beyond an inch and below was underwhelming. There was literally nothing for me here and I'm sure others with even more obscure kinks within the fetish as a whole felt just as alienated.

It's my turn to descend like the little black cloud I seem to delight in being. I feel I should preface this, as ever, with the statement that I don't particularly want to see SizeCon crash and burn. I have no way of attending; I wouldn't attend in the event that I was able to. That said, I understand the appeal in expanding the welcoming, open environment that the meets have thus far been providing, so beyond the ability to sit on my high horse and say "I told you so!" - which, horrid as it is, I'm still waiting for - I don't actually have anything in particular against SizeCon or those organizing it.

There are still a couple of elephants in the room, though. This Executive Plan serves as a pretty decent example of at least one of them. "Not only are we 100% committed to SizeCon, but that we’re also both prepared and capable of executing it as well." I don't think at any stage anybody has questioned the commitment of those behind SizeCon working to make it happen, but this document releases just ten days out from the close of the Kickstarter with two thirds of the funding still to be pledged, and illustrates the same frantic but determined unpreparedness of everything else so far. This is something that should have been ready from the beginning. The website is something that should have been ready from the beginning.

As far as marketing goes, the lack of anything concrete has been far more damning than any of the hard work that's come out as a result. It's too late, every time - rather than hit the ground running with a strong wind at the back of the SizeCon team it's seemed to be a constant game of catch-up and harried, desperate damage control. The request has gone out to those who can't attend to consider backing the project nonetheless, as a way of pitching in to the community. As a potential investor? I'm simply not sold.

Second, I think the numbers assumed out of GiantessCity are a little optimistic. This isn't something I can remotely prove, of course. However, the assertion that these will be buffed out by members of other sites doesn't really have a lot of traction behind it. Last I checked there were three watching the SizeCon FurAffinity page - there are still people asking on Twitter, "Wait, what is this thing?" The research wasn't done. The preparation wasn't done. The impression that SizeCon has outside of DA and (what I assume is supposed to be) GiantessCity is not good. To rhyme with abysmal. It's a laughing stock, thus far. I'm not bringing this to the table to rub anyone's nose in it, but this is the impression that needs to be made more obvious, clearly. The 'too little, too late' attitude is what's tanking SizeCon on Twitter, and I can only assume it's the same elsewhere based on what I've seen. Again, take my position as anecdotal at best, but know quite honestly that I'm not alone in this.

Third... Asking for funding over Christmas? I still can't fathom this. SizeCon 2016 in July or August, and let the Kickstarter finish in the likes of February, when everyone's actually got something in their back pocket they can spare on frivolous stuff like this.

I seem to keep showing up to piss in people's breakfast, but I think this discussion merits an opinion beyond either cheerful optimism or 'it'll be full of mouthbreathers.' It looks likes a scrambled-together mess. I can't say with certainty that SizeCon in April 2016 will happen or not, but I'm coming here with my hat in my hands and the best of intentions - despite what the pealing bell of doom I'm ringing might sound like - to ask that those who are close to the project don't let that determination cloud potential lessons. There's been an answer to everything, but are the questions, concerns and criticisms really getting through? Take a step back. Ask who actually wanted SizeCon. If it happens, do it right. If it doesn't happen straight away? Don't start pointing fingers and making sweeping accusations about the lack of DETERMINATION.

You're pushing a new convention out of nowhere to a cautious estimate of 135 people. This sort of thing needs to be what you lead with, not 'We are chock full of enthusiasm!' We all are. I worked a one day convention four years running. Enthusiasm is no match for caffeine and reality, guys.

You can't possibly expect attending members of the size community (who are mostly creep lurkers like myself) to behave like civilized adults around objects of their desire. Maybe I give humanity too little credit, but as much as I'd hope to be proven wrong, I don't see that happening. That said, I certainly hope a large portion of the Kickstarter donations go towards hiring some incredible security for this event.

Besides some minor grammar errors, everything seems to be in order! I don't mean to jinx our con into being another Dashcon, but have we considered getting a ball pit just for the lulz? XD

Man, this is perfect.  Spreading this far and wide. If this doesn't convince people nothing will.
