Postponing TFF to 2023

Unfortunately, omicron seems to have thrown a wrench into my plans. Since the current vaccine is imperfect when it comes to omicron, I've basically had to decide: is risking contracting one to three weeks of illness worth going to TFF? And while I would REALLY like to attend TFF, with the current COVID situation I've realized that, even if I did ignore the risk of catching covid (having GOH duties and Dealer's Den would definitely increase the risk), the experience is gonna be less enjoyable than it could be simply because I'd have to stay away from basically everyone.

The TFF staff have graciously allowed me to shift my invitation to 2023, however, and I will still be providing the t-shirt art for this year's con. On top of that, I'm gonna plan to do a however-many-day Home Con either on or just after TFF this year, which will include livestreamed commissions and signed book sales (probably do the HP book 12 sketch editions?)

Looks like this is never going to end... I keep hoping things will get better but... don't count on TFF happening next year either

The sheer length of the illness is what bothers me the most right now; I know that the actual risk of long-term problems is low if you've been vaccinated. But that's still 2/3rds of a month, which isn't super cool when you're self-employed.

I had the Delta one, the only issue to worry about is if your immune system can handle it. Also I was sick for about 20 days, the worst was a super sore throat that felt like swallowing sand paper.

Gotta make sure I also attend next year then <3 But ya, can't blame anyone for being safe

It’s crappy all around, but much rather see you doing what you feel is best for yourself and trying to find as much joy in things as you can.

Edolon

Yeah, I wouldn't risk it either. Hopefully it dies down next year or somewhere down the road :(

Better safe than sorry is the adage

David Ewell

Alright.

Jonathan

Aww, well hope to see you next year then!

Dahan

Aw, man, that bites. Hopefully next year will be safer.

Greg

I'm glad you made this decision. I'm sitting this one out too

Stoker Bramwell

That’s understandable. Here’s looking forward to next year!

NogitsuneGabe

Completely understandable, you do what feels best

Dhaka Yeena

That sounds like an excellent plan.
