Re: Fandom Gripes / Venting / Complaints

[(Anonymous)]

This isn’t about something wrong with/in my fandoms, but it is a fandom related gripe.
I was originally going to go to a fandom convention for one of my favorite shows that I skipped because my mom was ill. Then I skipped the next one, because my mom was dying. The money I’d saved up to celebrate getting my bachelor’s degree and a promotion at work by doing something dumb and nerdy and extravagant went to mom’s care and the aftermath.

There’s a big screen-worn/used costume and prop auction for the fandom tomorrow. I have work, but I can probably finagle my breaks to bid on stuff. I love costumes and cosplay and I’m the nearly the same height as one of my favorite characters that has several costumes up for auction. I’d have to pull money out of my savings to cover anything I won, but I won’t be a pauper if I do.

Should I bid on anything, or should I just resign myself to being thrifty and sensible and accept that my reward for getting a promotion and a degree is that I got a promotion and a degree?

If you really feel like you'd love to have the thing, and you don't think you'll break the bank bidding - go for it!

Sounds like you deserve a little treat, anon.

I agree, anon. You gave up the money you'd saved for something that was important to you to help your mom, which was a kind and selfless thing to do. You deserve to be able to do something for yourself now.

It sounds like you really want to do it but you want us to be the bad guy in this situation and say no. So I'm gonna say no and if that's not the answer you wanted, you know what the right answer is.

With any auction, decide on what you'd be willing to spend first and stick to it. Sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not.

AYRT—yeah I definitely have a limit I refuse to spend over. I’m hoping people who win props and costumes I’m interested in are actually in fandom and not resellers/the kind of private collector who disappears to sit on their bounty for decades. Hopefully the winners will be able to find somewhere to post photos to share now that tumblr looks to have gone tits—heh—up. I may finally make a dreamwidth account if I win anything so I can post reference photos for other cosplayers.
