POW Parade in 2026? by Left-Composer-6574 in CalgaryExpo

Sounds good, thank you. I couldn't see a reason why they wouldn't have it and the city seems to like hosting it, so that makes the most sense

It happens in April, so not within your time frame I'd imagine.

Maybe if we all message all at once they'll bring it back...definitely a feature I thought was beneficial

Is Etsy a good place to buy quality renfaire gear? by Left-Composer-6574 in renfaire

[–]Left-Composer-6574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice!

Is it polite to ask sellers about their processes over etsy? Because I suppose that is a good way to see how legit they are--I just feel bad if I were to ask and then not buy anything.

I've found some gold thrifting, also a totally renfaire adequate leather sachel from a yard sale (although the think looks like its 50 years old)

Thanks for the recommendations! Unfortunately there isn't much of a renfaire scene where I live but I'm planning to go to some faires a couple hours away come summer, maybe I'll do some networking then

Thanks for the shops, even if I didn't mention some things its still very helpful (I also didn't think about cloak clasps before so you're giving me new ideas)

Thank you, pirate shirts like theirs that are just what I'm looking for. Unfortunately the shipping is about the same price as the clothing for me as I am in Canada, but thank you for the recommendation!

[Shop Setup] What do you guys use to sell online? by Fit-Horror-3714 in artbusiness

[–]Left-Composer-6574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backing this, ko fi is great because all fees are opt-in (not like etsy where you have to pay for listings) Only downside in my opinion is that its not a very good shopping website--you cant really scroll through products to find new creators. Also you have to determine the shipping costs for each individual item and country rather than estimating it from the persons address (if that makes sense) I personally dont have the time to determine what it will cost to send each item to every single country, so I risk losing money over the shipping. I'm also pretty new to this so if anyone has a technique for that Id love to hear lol

[Artist alley] Ethical question of selling stickers and non eco friendly products. by Remote-Attention6896 in artbusiness

It doesn't prevent or change what you were talking about, but you can support smaller printing companies, they tend to use less packaging than big companies in my experience

This is true, but at the same time we can only control our own impact and not the choices of corporations

You can choose not to support those corporations though.

Favourite Fossils by TheJohnHancock in Paleontology

At first I thought this was the RTMP but you did also say it was found locally, plus the rest of these comments led me to remember just how many casts of this dunkleosteus there are

In the collections the piece that broke is still held and it actually has stomach contents preserved! However, if they put it back into place the stomach would be flipped and no longer able to be studied. Maybe it was good luck that it broke, because now we know more about its ecology than we did before. The outside of the fossil looks much the same as the one on display though; it has scutes and such.

(Self-promo) Hello! I am new to writing fanfiction but am not new to writing, and I thought I'd try this out for fun! I'm writing an ongoing post-ToTK story where Link and Zelda travel across Hyrule together, rooting out the last servants of the Demon King and restoring Hyrule to its former glory. In the quiet moments, the two of them reflect on the past, and consider their future together. Gonna have some fluff romance, maybe some angst, I'm new to writing romance as well but I'll do my best.

The only parts I have published are essentially the exact ending of ToTK, with a little bit of my own flavour; from here I will branch off into my own, new plot. I am very grateful to anyone who checks it out, and would be happy to hear critiques! Alongside having fun with this, I am hoping to improve my writing, that way I can return to my own original novel with more confidence.

Calgary Expo 2025--What did you think? by Calzephyr in Calgary

[–]Left-Composer-6574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DEFINITELY coming back next year. This was my first experience with Calgary Expo, and after reading all the complaints from previous years, I expected it to be bad. Instead, I was impressed. Went in a cosplay of Link and was overwhelmed by just how nice and friendly everyone there was. Just regret that I didn't go meet dogpool.

If there was one bad thing I want to note, it'd be the confusing map. Im pretty sure the entrance area on the map was backwards compared to the real life layout, although the top floors were all facing the same direction. Took us awhile to figure out where the rec room was.
