Linking together their efforts brings this fluid mass up to a size and speed appropriate for the convention they are creating. I am quite pleased with the growth and change that Conucopia has experienced over the last few months. The committee positions filled, staff assembled and volunteers helped out with whatever project needed a few temporary spare hands. So many questions that led onward to more. On and on.
Experts help out, or blow air, sometimes both.
Ideas are thrown up in the air, and if not shot down for budgetary reasons, they are plucked from space to be nurtured by someone who cares about just such a thing as that idea embodies. Even the odd idea that was thought too expensive is taken up by someone who wants to do it right without spending the farm. Then there was a Masquerade where none existed before. The energy now focused upon Conucopia is that of the experienced and detail-oriented fans whose work is necessary to make the more ordinary, but no less important, aspects of a convention run. I was told at the outset that few, other than those for whom fandom is an opportunity to complain, would find fault with a Conucopia if only four items were done well.
