  • MFF 2025 Update

    MFF 2025 Update

    Original post written by Ahmar Wolf

    MFF has finally made their schedule OFFICIAL, despite being listed on Sched for the last few weeks. The most notable changes is the Furry Variety Show is on the same time as Friday’s Fursuit Games. In addition MFF has literally gone from all you did on Thursday was get your badge and head back to your hotel. To a full blown schedule, of no less than 49 panels. Not even joking see for yourself

    https://midwestfurfest2025.sched.com/

    There is a lot, but that isn’t the only change this year…

    Hall F is the biggest change. They moved the Dealer’s Den to the largest space it ever had. But also a space where a lot say it should have been for years. Can’t wait to see who is going to be there. Adult Annex also has a larger space as well as the Art Show. Both got moved.

    I would also say more of the convention is at the convention center. Not that is a bad move, it’s dealing with the crowd. Something the anime convention have been doing for years.

    There has been some insane bottlenecks with the crowd over the years. Last year it was Artist Alley, which I could not get into on Friday. A friend and I had to wait until Saturday Morning.

    Another thing I noticed is that the more popular events for the most part at the convention center. Save for Main and Secondary stage events they are both still at the hotel. I think there will be less traveling in The Corridor of Death AKA The Skybridge. Still hope for good weather, what really helped was sunny skies and more taking the outside route. Which for the record is shorter.

    As for me I am working on what I want to see and that Corridor video I do that is still quite popular. I think I have no choice but to start at the hotel. As for the rest that is still pretty much TBA for now.

    As far as the Picks for Panel. They are quite good. More comedy this year, although I wish Alkali makes a come back. Those running similar panels do quite a good job. You got an amazing range we got everything from Circus Furs to a Plush meet, at least 1 game show, and a meet for furries in business. I said it was a good range.

    I hope everyone had a great Furry Book Month! It’s over for another year and now we’re heading into the holidays with frightening speed.

    Thanks to everyone who picked up this year’s Furry Book Bundle. We had our best year of sales yet, which helps both the guild and all the authors involved. All the money will be divided evenly among the authors, with the guild getting a share too. Authors, we’ll try to get your payments sent before December.

    If you’ve been writing a lot lately and finding your energy flagging, take a break and read a book or stories written by other authors. Reading is a great remedy for burnout and stress. It helps refill your creative well! *points at all the great new books available below* If you’ve been reading a lot instead of writing, maybe it’s time to open your work-in-progress file.

    I’m the last person to discover anything new, so I only just saw K-Pop Demon Hunters yesterday. I’ve been dancing around all day to the soundtrack, another stress reliever. These days we have to take joy where we can.
