“I had a lot of fun with the Monsters panel” — review for MLM: Men Love Monsters?!
“The Monster panel was again one of my favorites! I was pleasantly surprised. Midnight was probably one of my favorite panelists as well, because they were very approachable and casual, so it created a friendly atmosphere right off the bat. But seriously, hats off to Midnight. I think this panel set the tone for the rest of the day for me to compare to, that's how relaxed it was <3” — review for MLM: Men Love Monsters?!
“Definitely an unexpected treat.” — review for BL in Non-BL Industries

I absolutely loved it […] A panel that gives you a new hobby to look forward to is automatically a good panel in my book!”— review for What’s New is Old

2020
“We adore you guys” — Programming Director, A-kon
“Getting to talk to people about BL since I don't have the luxury outside of 2 online friends on a day-to-day basis. It was great to also get tons of recommendations for things to read and watch!” — praise for FujoCon
“I loved the sense of community and talking with other BL fans.” — praise for FujoCon
“I loved how enthusiastic everyone running it was! Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there and you were all so communicative and friendly!!” — praise for FujoCon
“It felt very chill and like a safe space! Because of online threats and the general environment surrounding BL fans and older fans, it's easy to feel unsafe or anxious even at real cons. But during FujoCon I felt more safe being it a +18 con and its motto being ship and let ship and embrace the fu-ness in all of us ^^ also the panels???? I have yet to see a con with such a great ensemble of both academic and fun panels!” — praise for FujoCon
“The games were an absolute blast.” — praise for FujoCon

“Battleships was an especially beautiful nightmare.” — review for Battleships
“The Bingo was definitely fun and a good laugh! Wasn't as awkward as the one I attended at Yaoi Con.” — review for Yaoi Inferno
“Itabag Economics was such a pleasant surprise. I showed up to it because I had nothing else I was doing at the time. I wasn't prepared for all the discussion on the nature of supply and demand, as a psychology person this was very intriguing.” — review for Itabag Economics
“I think they were all very informative and great to watch. My fave was Ship & Let Ship because I think is very easy for people to feel guilty or bad with their ships because the whole 'culture' in social media right now, so seeing the evolution of it all and how many people like the same as you and how it's ok to enjoy things is amazing.” — review for Ship & Let Ship
“I really enjoyed the Ship & Let Ship for its attitude, openness, and the discussions it brought up. They were really engaged with the chat and it was both educational but entertaining. The people were also very cool and interesting.” — review for Ship & Let Ship
